Midlothian

Midlothian, TX Homes for Sale

Midlothian sits in northern Ellis County at the meeting point of US-287 and US-67, roughly 25 miles southwest of downtown Dallas and a similar drive to Fort Worth. That two-city access, combined with larger lots and a hometown pace, is why so many families relocating within DFW land here.

The housing mix leans newer: master-planned and new-construction communities have been built steadily across the city, alongside established neighborhoods near the historic downtown and acreage homesteads on the outskirts. Midlothian ISD is a major draw, and the city is home to the Midlothian Conference Center, a growing employment base in manufacturing and distribution, and quick access to Joe Pool Lake to the north.

If you are comparing Midlothian to Waxahachie, Red Oak or Mansfield, our team can walk you through the trade-offs in commute, taxes, school zones and new-build incentives.

What schools serve Midlothian?

Midlothian ISD covers the city. It has two comprehensive high schools, Midlothian High School and Midlothian Heritage High School, which opened in 2014 and had about 1,760 students in 2024-25. BridgeWater, for example, is zoned to Longbranch Elementary, Walnut Grove Middle and Midlothian Heritage High, with a future elementary planned on site. Zones change as the district grows, so confirm the school for the exact address with the district.

What about taxes, HOA dues and PIDs?

It varies by community. Some Midlothian master plans carry an HOA and a Public Improvement District assessment on top of the regular tax rate, and some don't. Ask the builder for the total tax rate, the PID notice and the HOA dues for the specific lot, then compare the full monthly payment rather than the list price.

Who does Midlothian fit?

Buyers who split time between Dallas and Fort Worth, buyers who want a newer home with amenities like pools and trails, and buyers looking for one acre homesites without moving far out. If budget is the deciding factor, Waxahachie and Red Oak usually have lower median prices. Joe Pool Lake is just to the north for weekends on the water.

Usually, yes. In October 2026 the median sale price was $460,000 in Midlothian and $406,500 in Waxahachie, with Ellis County at $414,990.

Can I find acreage in Midlothian?

Yes. Hartson Estates, Byrum Ranch and Oak Creek Ranch all offer one acre homesites, and there are older acreage properties on the edges of the city.

Which high school will my kids attend?

It depends on the address. Midlothian ISD has two high schools, Midlothian High and Midlothian Heritage High, and zones can change as new campuses open. Check with the district for the exact address.

Do I need my own agent for a Midlothian new build?

It's smart to have one, and in most communities the builder pays the agent. Bring your agent on your first visit so they can be registered. See our guide: Do you need a realtor to buy new construction in Texas?
