Northgate
What it’s like to live in Northgate
Oil industry proximity shapes Northgate, where this established Midland neighborhood offers housing options near major energy sector employers. Rental properties include both modest single-family homes and apartment communities with surprising affordability given the area's strategic positioning near employment centers generating high salaries. The neighborhood provides excellent access to both Loop 250 connectivity and everyday shopping along North Big Spring Street. The practical, no-frills environment lacks the historic character of central Midland or the manicured aesthetics of newer masterplanned communities. Particularly well-suited for oil industry employees, contract workers needing flexibility, and practical renters who prioritize value and convenience over architectural distinction or luxury amenities in Midland's cyclical housing market significantly influenced by energy sector economic patterns affecting both availability and pricing throughout different industry phases.
