Nottingham Square, Where Midland Errands Stay Easy

About Nottingham Square

Mornings in Nottingham Square tend to start close to home: coffee runs to Griffin Coffee about a mile away, a quick stop at United Supermarkets roughly 0.9 miles out, and an easy swing by H-E-B just over a mile from the neighborhood. The area sits in the heart of the 79707 ZIP, where daily life is built around short drives and familiar storefronts rather than long cross-town treks. It’s the kind of Midland pocket where you learn which Starbucks is fastest for a grab-and-go order and which route gets you to Target without feeling like you’re battling every major intersection.

What gives Nottingham Square its feel is how neatly it fits into the network of nearby residential enclaves like Rettig Place, Andrews Park, and Geraldine Park. Instead of being isolated, it reads as part of a larger, lived-in side of Midland where neighborhoods stitch together and you’re never far from schools, groceries, and a practical set of services. In this part of Midland ISD, school choices are a constant conversation, and it matters that there are several campuses close by, including Rusk El about 0.6 miles away and Bonham El about 0.8 miles away.

The 79707 area also signals a distinctly professional, family-and-career mix. With a median household income of $99,886 and a median age of 31.6, the local rhythm leans young and active, with households balancing work schedules and after-school pickups. A strong share of residents have a bachelor’s degree or higher at 40.3%, which shows up in how often people talk schools, commute efficiency, and weekend plans.

Housing here reflects that “settle in, but stay flexible” mentality. The typical home value in the area runs around $389,400, and homeownership is common, with about 60.0% owning rather than renting. At the same time, renters are very much part of the picture in the broader ZIP, which keeps the neighborhood feeling dynamic instead of static.

Nottingham Square tends to attract people who want Midland convenience without giving up a neighborhood identity: quick access to Midland ISD options, easy grocery loops, and a close-in location where the coffee shops and casual hangouts like Little Woodrow’s and Torino's PIzza Bar become your default meeting spots.
