Midway (Seminole County), FL

Tucked just east of Sanford in Seminole County, Midway is a historic, tight-knit community with deep local roots. Originally settled by Black agricultural workers during Central Florida’s celery boom, the neighborhood takes pride in its heritage and quiet, semi-rural feel. Daily life often centers around spots like Midway Park and Roseland Park, with ongoing sidewalk and trail additions making it easier for families to walk to local schools and green spaces. As the wider Sanford area continues to expand, Midway remains a grounded, peaceful pocket that is steadily seeing neighborhood upgrades while holding onto its close-knit character.
