Midway is one of the most distinctive and sought-after communities in the Wasatch Back, known for its Swiss-inspired charm, tree-lined streets, and high quality of life. Located between Heber City and Deer Valley, Midway offers a blend of luxury homes, historic neighborhoods, and resort-adjacent living, making it popular with both primary residents and second-home buyers.
In 2025, Midway continued to stand out as a premium lifestyle market, driven by limited inventory, strong community identity, and proximity to Deer Valley East Village.
