Midlothian grew from 35,125 people in 2020 to about 46,700 in 2025 (Census), one of the fastest-growing cities south of Dallas, at the crossroads of US 67 and US 287 in Ellis County. I'm Ben Jimenez, a real estate agent with Real Broker, LLC, and this is everything I'd tell a client before they buy or sell in Midlothian.
Ben's take: “In Midlothian I put a resale next to the builder's numbers, including the tax rate. A new home with a special district can cost more per month than its price suggests.”— Ben Jimenez, Real Estate Agent, Real Broker, LLC
Midlothian homes sold for a median of about $476,000 in September 2026, down 2.8% from a year earlier, and took a median of 69 days to sell over the three months ending September, down from 93 (Redfin). In the 76065 ZIP, the median list price was about $525,000 in October 2026 (RealtyTrac). Prices are easing while homes sell faster, and new construction keeps adding supply.
With new communities like BridgeWater competing for buyers, Midlothian buyers can often get builder incentives or seller concessions. Compare the full monthly cost, including any special district, not just the price.
Resale sellers compete with brand-new homes down the road, so price and presentation matter. I market every listing with professional photos, drone footage and a full video tour.
New construction plans I've toured in Midlothian on video. Prices are as of filming, so check current homes for sale for what's available today.
Ben's take: “Always ask a Midlothian builder for the total tax rate in writing. The gap between 1.94% and 2.69% is real money every month.”— Ben Jimenez, Real Estate Agent, Real Broker, LLC
Midlothian's city rate went down for 2026-27, and so did both school districts' rates. Which school district you're in, and whether your community has a special district, make the biggest difference.
| City of Midlothian (FY 2026-27) | $0.64 per $100 |
| Midlothian ISD | $1.0269 per $100 |
| Waxahachie ISD | $1.1545 per $100 |
| Ellis County (2025) | $0.273992 per $100 |
| Water | City of Midlothian (from Joe Pool Lake) |
City, Midlothian ISD and county rates add up to about $1.94 per $100, so a $476,000 taxable value comes to about $9,240 a year before exemptions. Tri Pointe estimates about 2.69% total for its BridgeWater homes in Waxahachie ISD, which points to an extra district assessment. I get the builder's disclosure before my buyers sign.
Ben's take: “In BridgeWater, the school district depends on which builder's section you buy in. I confirm it for the exact lot before you put down earnest money.”— Ben Jimenez, Real Estate Agent, Real Broker, LLC
Most of Midlothian is in Midlothian ISD: 13 campuses, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools and two high schools, Midlothian High and Midlothian Heritage High, plus The MILE career and technical program.

Tri Pointe Homes estimates a total tax rate of about 2.69% for its BridgeWater homes. That's higher than the city, Waxahachie ISD and county rates alone, which suggests an additional district assessment, so ask the builder for the disclosure.
