Midland

About

Located just east of North Columbus, Midland, GA offers a variety of neighborhoods with an “out in the country” feel. The pace is a bit slower here, however, it’s just a stone’s throw from all the shopping and restaurants in North Columbus. Midland is also close to Flat Rock Park, a charming community park located on a fishing lake with picturesque walking & biking trails, abundant green space and a playground for an afternoon picnic or play-date for the little ones.

Neighbors

Throughout Columbus, you’ll never find yourself too far removed from the military, but in Midland you’ll also find many of the city’s executives and working professionals. Most residents in Midland are married couples, some have children and some do not. You’ll find diversity and affluence in this family-friendly locale.

Neighborhood Feel

Midland is considered “rural” but don’t confuse that with “old!” More than half of the homes here were built after 1999. Predominately single-family homes and close-knit neighborhoods foster strong community ties. Paired with above average safety from crime and high performing public schools, you’ve got a great area to consider living in, especially if you’re raising a family.

School Scoop

The public schools in Midland are part of Muscogee County School District.

Research the school district you are purchasing into. Students in Georgia are eligible to attend any school in or out of their district contingent on available space and acceptance by the school, but transportation is at the parent’s expense. Any student zoned in a Title I school (there are several in Muscogee County) has the right to attend a higher performing school, but this could be located anywhere in the district. Title I Schools are schools that have been granted supplemental funds by the government based on a high number or high percentage of low income students in attendance to help bridge the achievement gap.  

There are state-sponsored scholarships available for special education students to attend private schools.

Brookstone (private), Shaw High School, Northside High School, and Calvary Christian (private) are the very sought after schools in this area.
