About Midway
Woods
Midway Woods, located between Columbia Drive and Memorial Drive, is a residential and wooded Belvedere Park neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and a creek-laced landscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Columbia Drive corridor near Memorial Drive, where small storefronts, taquerias, and everyday services set a steady, local rhythm. Streets curve through mature tree cover, with deep lots and carports that signal postwar design. Side roads feel tucked away, while the main arterials keep errands and commuting practical. Green space and trail time often center on nearby Shoal Creek Park and the South River corridor.
