What is Midlothian, TX like?

Corridors, build era, and taxing boundaries shape what you can buy in Midlothian and what it costs to hold.

Midlothian sits on US 67 and US 287 in northwestern Ellis County, between Dallas and Fort Worth. Limestone reserves along the escarpment under the city support three cement plants, a steel mill operates in the same industrial belt, and the RailPort industrial park runs along US 67. Newer master-planned subdivisions have been layered onto a much older town center, so district assessments show up on one side of town and mid-century or older stock on the other. Midlothian ISD covers most of the city.
