About Garland

More than 246,000 people live in Garland, making it the 12th largest city in Texas, and the 91st largest in the United States. The City is 15 miles northeast of downtown Dallas and bordered by Interstate 635, Interstate 30, and U.S. 190. The DART Light Rail Line bisects the city with two stations, one at Forest Lane and Jupiter Road and one in Historic Downtown Garland. D/FW International Airport is 30 minutes away. Despite all of these metroplex conveniences, Garland still offers a comfortable, hometown atmosphere to a diverse, thriving citizenry.

The sound of music – and musicals –also graces downtown Garland. On some Saturday nights, there’s a live bluegrass jam in the square. Many restaurants and cafes around the square also offer live music. Or catch a play, concert, ballet, or film at the Granville Arts Center, a performing arts complex anchored by the restored Art Deco-style Plaza Theatre with its iconic neon marquee. On some nights, there are performances happening on three different stages.

Like many communities in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex, housing in Garland is diversified, with offerings from starter homes to luxury, custom homes, apartments, and condos. It has a quaint downtown square with a fountain plaza, tree-canopied walkways, and shaded rest areas for residents to come together as a community. The city of Garland is working hard to grow intelligently and preserve its own charm. Part of this effort is Garland’s Strategy for Vital Neighborhoods, a groundbreaking plan to encourage development and revitalization in ways that will sustain the unique personality of each neighborhood, promote the livability for residents and businesses and increase property values and investment potential.
