Midland homes vary in size and style
Various home styles are represented in Midland, reflecting the neighborhood's longstanding presence. Spacious ramblers and Craftsman cottages from the early- to mid-1900s are the most common across the neighborhood. These homes are typically priced between $360,000 and $500,000, offering three bedrooms and at least 1,000 square feet. According to Erika Dahring, real estate agent at EXP Realty and 27-year Washington local, “Because Midland is so close to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, a lot of military families tend to live in the area. Subsequently, the price points generally fit the budget of those families.” She also states that while the area is close to the Pacific Lutheran University, homebuyers far outnumber renters in Midland. Craftsman elements carry over into newer builds, but these properties have a much more contemporary style, with stone finishes, wood or shingle siding and varied gray tones. Newer construction and renovated properties offer roughly 2,000 square feet or above and cost between $525,000 and $650,000.
Newer construction is popping up all over Midland and at relatively affordable cost.

Shopping around Pacific and Portland
Along Pacific Avenue, there is an abundance of food stores and restaurants. Frugals is a quirky, retro drive-through with classic burgers, hand-spun shakes and monthly specials like chicken parm sandwiches.

This no-frills retailer sells fresh fruits, vegetables, pantry goods, sweets and a limited stock of personal items at majorly discounted prices. It also runs weekly sales for military personnel, seniors and students. A street down is Franz Bakery Outlet, a long-running, family-owned bakery offering a variety of bread, bagels and pastries.
