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!
Our family loves Garland! You always feel safe and it is so close to everything. It is an easy commute to downtown Dallas. Unfortunately Garland is being recognized as a great value and so many people are moving in causing Garland's housing prices to rise. There are great restaurants, parks and so close to fishing, skiing, sailing on Lake Ray Hubbard.
I was raised in Garland since I was 3, I have seen the changes that Garland has gone through and the improvements it has made. Garland is an average city to live in. The diversity in this city is definitely a factor to admire, I myself am Mexican and have felt comfortable and accepted in this city due to its diversity of Hispanics, Asians, African Americans, etc. I've seen the improvements of this city of building better roads, remodeling schools and raising money to improve the quality education of the schools. Garland has always felt like a safe city to travel around, the crime rate is moderately low and family friendly. For better improvements Garland should consider its occurring problem that has been increasing within the past two years of the number of homeless people standing near busy cross roads asking for money. While is it a sad sight to see it is also disrupting and is something Garland should look into to improve its city.
