Midland/Odessa, TX
Immerse yourself in the energy of Midland. While often described as one large loop leading to major roads, this little slice of West Texas is one big opportunity – and we’re not just saying that because former President George W. Bush once lived here. So shine those boots and get ready to shake some hands because here, there’s always a new place to see and be seen.
With oil and gas being the city’s bread and butter, new talent is arriving here every day. But healthy employment opportunities aren’t the only reason more people are heading west. Midland offers the unique anomaly of being a growing city without losing its sweet, small-town charm.
No matter how you spend your days or where your interests lie, when you take up residence in our Greystar apartments in Midland, TX, you’ll never be far from places that power your personality.
