A lively community that embodies Midwestern charm

Schools Golf Suburban Airport Parks

The city of Midland forms the western cornerstone of central Michigan’s Tri-Cities region, a rough triangle that connects the community to Bay City and Saginaw. Consistently appearing highly on lists of best American cities for families, Midland adopts a mostly suburban atmosphere filled with quiet neighborhoods and boasting exceptional public schools.

The community is rich with public parks and golf courses, providing numerous opportunities to get outdoors. The charming Downtown district along Main Street features a popular collective of specialty shops, eclectic restaurants and bars, historic architecture, and a farmers’ market overlooking the Tittabawassee River. Drop into Café Zinc for your morning caffeine fix or swing by WhichCraft Taproom for a bite and a pint in the evening. One of the city’s most unique landmarks is the Tridge, a three-directional bridge that spans the river to connect Downtown to Towsley Dike Park and Chippewassee Park.
