About 715 Estates

715 Estates feels like the kind of Midland pocket where errands are genuinely quick and your “usual spots” are close enough to become routine. On a typical weeknight, it’s easy to swing by KD's Bar-B-Q about 0.7 miles away for a simple dinner, then pick up groceries at Walmart Supercenter around 1.7 miles from the neighborhood. When you want a quieter reset, Dunagan Park sits roughly 1.4 miles away, and Washington Park and James M Bradford Park are both close enough at about 1.9 miles to become familiar weekend loops.

The neighborhood’s day-to-day identity is tied closely to the 79706 area’s stable, owner-leaning housing profile, where about 72.0% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.

In the broader 79706 ZIP area, the median home value runs about $316,400, which frames 715 Estates as a place where buyers are often looking for a long-term home base rather than a short-term stop.

Culturally, this side of Midland reflects the city’s blend of backgrounds in a very everyday way.

That local flavor pairs naturally with Midland’s energy economy identity, especially with the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum about 2.5 miles away serving as a reminder of what has shaped the region.

715 Estates also sits in a school landscape that gives families and students multiple paths within Midland ISD.
