Midland Reviews

Midland blesses the residents with it's many beautiful parks. Unique to Midland is the "Tridge," which is a three way bridge standing over a river. The greenery and flowers gracing your sight everywhere you look is something that seems to never get old. Midland can get a little boring, but during the summer they do a great job to always have something going on! Listening to local bands play, watching movies in a garden, and frequenting the local farmers market are just a few of the great activities for Midland's summer. The shopping mall is beginning to close down, which is quite the bummer for many of Midland's residents, but there are still many great stores in Midland that keep the shopping going! Try checking out many of the cute stores, restaurants, and coffee houses in Downtown!

Midland is a great city for families. It has great schooling systems that are advanced. There are also several parks and dog parks available. It does not offer much of a night scene for younger generations. The public library is not your ideal library and offers many community events as well. There is also a fine arts museum which has brought famous chefs and actors/actresses to the community. Overall, just a great city to be in to live or visit!
Great family place to live! There is a lot to do for families, especially in the summer. Visit downtown for awesome dining or go on the Chippewa Nature Center's walking trail with the family.
