Where Garland is
Garland is a city of about 250,000 people (Census Bureau estimate, July 1, 2025) northeast of Dallas, bordered by Richardson and Lake Highlands on the west, Rowlett and Lake Ray Hubbard on the east, and Mesquite on the south.
The main roads are LBJ Freeway, the George Bush Turnpike, Interstate 30 and Highway 78. The DART Blue Line serves downtown Garland and Forest Lane. Downtown Dallas is about twenty five minutes.

Straight Talk: Garland Pros and Cons
What we tell friends who ask about Garland, both sides.
What is good
- A detached house near $300,000 inside Dallas County.
- Open enrollment in Garland ISD, so the school zone matters less.
- Firewheel, the lake and a downtown square around a DART station.
What to know first
- Mid century ranches with deferred maintenance are common; foundation and plumbing budgets are not optional.
- Value is driven by condition and price per foot, not prestige, so over improving does not pay.
- Some pockets have struggled; buy the block, not the ZIP.
What Sellers Should Know About Current Garland Home Values
Garland sells on condition and price per square foot more than on neighborhood prestige. A clean, updated ranch priced in line with the last ninety days of sales in its ZIP code is the house that tends to sell first. Deferred maintenance is the main reason houses sit.
How Buyers Should Read Garland Home Prices
Garland is where a first time buyer still finds a detached house near $300,000 inside Dallas County. Open enrollment in Garland ISD means the school zone matters less than elsewhere. Inspect 1960s houses carefully for foundation and plumbing.
