Midlothian Apartment Locator: US-67 Complexes and Rental Home Subdivisions

Free help from your Midlothian apartment locator: we checked 6 places this week, from $1,274 a month after free rent. Midlothian sits where US-67 meets US-287 in Ellis County, about 25 miles southwest of Downtown Dallas. Newer garden complexes line US-67 and the planned MidTowne area, and communities of houses built to rent fill recent subdivisions. The cement plants and steel mill on the edges of town are big employers, and their noise and dust reach some blocks more than others.

Areas we cover inside Midlothian

  • Historic Downtown MidlothianMidlothian's old downtown is a small grid of brick storefronts and older houses near the rail lines the town grew up around.

    Rentals are mostly older homes and duplexes, and US-67 and US-287 are a few minutes away.

  • MidTowneMidTowne is a planned neighborhood on the south side of downtown, with newer houses and townhomes.

    Rentals are mostly newer homes and townhomes, and the old downtown is a short drive north.

  • US-67 CorridorUS-67 runs through north Midlothian toward Cedar Hill and Dallas.

    Most of the town's apartment complexes and newer shopping have gone up near its exits. Downtown Dallas is roughly 25 miles up the highway.

  • South MidlothianSouth Midlothian stretches toward the US-287 bypass, with newer subdivisions, homes built to rent and cement plants on the outskirts.

    US-287 is the route to Waxahachie one way and Mansfield the other.

  • West MidlothianWest of town the land opens up, with houses on big lots, new subdivisions and the cement plants Midlothian is known for.

    Rentals out here are mostly houses, and US-287 heads northwest toward Mansfield and Fort Worth.

Midlothian Apartments Along US-67, Away From Plant Dust

  • We point out which homes sit closest to the plants, so you know where to visit on a weekday
  • We ask about gate access at all hours and lot lighting for anyone working plant shifts
  • Houses built to rent in the newer subdivisions when you want three bedrooms or a garage
  • We look up Midlothian ISD or Waxahachie ISD for the exact address

US-67 North, Joe Pool Lake, and Getting Around

Most rentals sit along US-67, the commute route north through Cedar Hill and Duncanville to I-20 and Dallas. Downtown is about half an hour away with clear roads and longer at rush hour, so drive it from the exact address at the hour you'd leave. US-287 runs northwest toward Mansfield and Fort Worth and southeast to Waxahachie.

There's no DART, rail or regular bus, so plan on a car. Joe Pool Lake, the nearest big recreation spot, is north of town through Cedar Hill.

When the plants are running, noise and dust reach certain blocks. A Sunday visit won't show you what a Tuesday morning sounds like, so go on a weekday. If you work a plant shift, ask whether the gate opens at all hours and how well the lot is lit.

Garden Apartments, Houses Built to Rent, and Older Buildings

Rentals here run newer and more formal than in the smaller towns to the south. The garden complexes along US-67 and around MidTowne screen by published rules, and buildings still filling up sometimes offer free weeks. Work out the monthly price before you compare.

Newer subdivisions have whole streets of homes built to rent. They're a good fit for three bedrooms or a garage, and they screen by the same posted rules.

Older buildings are scarce and mostly near the small historic downtown, so an owner who'll make an exception is harder to find here than in Waxahachie or DeSoto. With a complicated credit history, we'll look for the newer buildings that say yes with conditions, such as a larger deposit.

Life in Midlothian

Midlothian is a growing town in Ellis County where US-67 and US-287 meet. The old downtown has a short strip of restaurants, and the city's parks are the weekend draw.

US-67 and US-287

US-67 is the road to Dallas, and US-287 heads northwest to Fort Worth and southeast to Waxahachie. At 8am, Downtown Dallas is about 32 minutes away, the Medical District 38, DFW Airport 42 and Legacy West 55. There's no train here, so plan on driving every day.
