Garland is the suburb of suburbs. Think of the most suburban communities, local elementary schools, recreation centers, shopping plazas Garland has it all. Growing up and living in different parts of Garland, the progress this community has made is amazing. George Bush Turnpike, Firewheel mall, new GISD infrastructure, new local grocery stores and shopping centers, all within the span of 15-20 years, Garland is continually working to expand and improve the quality of life. The Garland community is very family friendly and diverse, with many cultures living alongside each other in neighborhoods and going to school together.
I have lived in Garland almost my entire life, and it’s been really nice. It’s a nice place to live in with your family too. There’s a lot of diversity everywhere you go. The schools in Garland are also excellent, especially academically. I wish the houses that are for sale weren’t so expensive though. My family has been wanting to move for a while but most of the houses we are interested in are a bit pricey considering how old they are. All in all, I have really enjoyed living here the last 13 years!
