Morelan Apartments for Rent

The city of Midland, Texas, is a rather quiet place to live, and yet it offers a variety of amenities. Residents of the Morelan neighborhood are located roughly 2.5 miles west of downtown Midland, within a short drive of many of the city’s attractions. Situated near Baumann Heights, Thorne, Gardens, and Crestview, this small community spans a single block in each direction. It is bounded by West Ohio Avenue on the north, West Illinois Avenue on the south, Crestview Road on the west, and North Powell Street on the east. Part of Midland County, Morelan is in the 79701 ZIP code area.

This entirely residential community is made up of just 26 single-family homes on rather spacious, but quite sparsely landscaped lots.

One of the most prominent attractions near Morelan is the Midland Memorial Hospital, situated less than 1 mile east along Andrews Highway and West Illinois Avenue. Not only does this medical center constitute a convenient health care option, but it is a major area employer as well.

Residents of Morelan are also within a short distance of several small community parks and playgrounds, including Lancaster Park, Garrett Brown Park, Dennis the Menace Park, and Ulmer Park. The latter is comprised almost entirely of baseball/softball fields, offering at least nine playing fields in total.

Residents who enjoy playing ball at nearby Ulmer Park may also enjoy this neighborhood’s close proximity to the First American Bank Ballpark. Situated roughly 2 miles west along Highway 158/250, this popular stadium is the home of the city’s professional baseball team, the Midland Rockhounds.

Golfing options on this side of town include the Nueva Vista Golf Club, located just north of the ballpark, near Grassland Estates.
