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.
