I absolutely love Garland! It's a safe neighborhood filled with diverse ethnic backgrounds. I live right off of George Bush Highway. I'm so thankful as it is near everything I need such as private/public schools, grocery stores, restaurant, and Firewheel shopping center! It is home to me and I would definitely recommend living here!
Garland is a city unlike most. Despite being in Texas, we are possibly one of the most diverse cities throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolis! I am a resident here that loves living here. The food options are great and even if there isn't something you want, our neighboring cities are there too. The overall safety is fairly good depending on where you are in Garland. Our rich history as well as our continuous strive for success is a great place for you and your family.
I live in Garland since 2005. The neighborhood I live is very diverse and its quiet and safe. The City of Garland offers low taxes, great schools, and even has their own electric company that has the lowest rates in the state. The downtown Garland is going through a transformation that has brought in new housing opportunities along with new restaurants and shopping. If you enjoy the performing arts, Garland has one of the oldest and top-notch performing arts theatres called The Patty Granville Art Center that houses the Garland Summer Musicals and the Garland Civic Theater. On the downtown square has historic Plaza Theatre. You can catch the Dart train that takes all over Dallas. The parks and recreation here in Garland have great recreation centers, a surf & swim pool, and numerous festivals make it a great place to live. If shopping is your thing, Garland has the Firewheel Mall. I encourage everyone to visit and experience how great the City of Garland has to offer.
