Before we get to Hayes Crossing, it’s important to understand why so many people are looking for houses in Midlothian in the first place. 

Character and Charm: Once defined by cotton, cattle, and rail in its earliest days, Midlothian has evolved into a hub of activity spurred by a thriving industrial base and a solid educational system while retaining its friendly character and provincial charm.

Quality of Life: Existing and new residents often cite Midlothian’s available land, convenient proximity to area shopping, dining, and entertainment amenities, and the community’s school district as key highlights of its quality of life.

Residential Development: One of the greatest indicators of Midlothian’s success is the astounding population growth the city has experienced in the past 15 years. Thanks to a booming housing market, Midlothian has rapidly developed in recent years into an upscale bedroom community with a unique lifestyle that is drawing new residents from near and far. 

Business Development: With a population nearing 40,000, the new Methodist Midlothian Medical Center, Midlothian Towne Crossing anchored by Kroger, and expanding list of corporate residents – including Google – are a testament to the community’s exciting evolution.

Midlothian’s School System and Family Living

Career and Technical Preparation: In recent years, the district unveiled its Midlothian Innovative Learning Experience (MILE) campus, a state-of-the-art educational facility that provides flexible learning space that reflects current industry and workplace environments. The MILE houses five career and technical education (CTE) pathways: culinary arts, cybersecurity, aerospace engineering, civil engineering, and entrepreneurship. Programs at the MILE give students an opportunity to utilize industry-standard equipment and professional practices in specific career paths.
