Midway City
Midway City is a very small unincorporated area of Orange County, effectively an enclave surrounded on almost all sides by the city of Westminster. The community is roughly a few hundred acres in size and is almost entirely residential, with a housing stock of modest single-family homes on standard lots and a small commercial spine along Bolsa Avenue. Because it is unincorporated, county government provides most local services rather than a city hall.

Schools, amenities, and getting around.
Schools
Midway City students attend Westminster School District for K-8 and Huntington Beach Union High School District for high school, most commonly Westminster High School. Because attendance lines cross the incorporated/unincorporated boundary, confirm at the address level.
Amenities and access
Midway City itself does not host major amenities — its residents draw on the surrounding Westminster civic and retail base, plus the Bolsa Avenue commercial spine. The 22 freeway sits north, the 405 sits south, and Beach Boulevard (39) is a short drive east; all of them are reachable in a few minutes.

What buyers and sellers ask most often about Midway City.
Is Midway City actually a city?
No — despite the name, Midway City is an unincorporated area of Orange County, not an incorporated city. It has no city hall of its own; county government provides local services. This is a common source of confusion for buyers unfamiliar with the OC unincorporated pockets.Why is it called Midway City?
The name predates modern incorporation and refers historically to the community's position midway between other early settlements in the area. The label stuck even after the surrounding areas incorporated as Westminster and other cities, leaving Midway City as a small unincorporated island.Which schools serve Midway City?
K-8 is handled by Westminster School District, and high school is Huntington Beach Union High School District — the same districts that serve much of surrounding Westminster. Most students attend Westminster High School.Is Midway City part of Westminster?
Not officially — Midway City is unincorporated Orange County land that Westminster surrounds. Practically, most residents interact with Westminster's commercial and civic amenities day to day, but the two are governed separately.What is the commute picture from Midway City?
The 22 sits to the north, the 405 sits to the south, and Beach Boulevard (39) is a short drive east — Midway City is well-positioned for freeway access in three directions. Bolsa Avenue is the main east-west arterial through the community.
