Best things about Garland that nobody talks about
As a 2-year resident, here are some things about Garland that don't make it into the guides:
1. The farmers market on Saturday mornings is incredible
2. Community events happen almost every weekend
3. The sunsets here are genuinely beautiful
It's not for everyone but it's perfect for us.

Don't sleep on Highland Park. It's up and coming and still affordable.

Check out the University District area. Way more affordable and still close to everything.

Great post! One thing I'd mention is the west side tends to be more affordable. Makes a big difference.

If you can afford it, Oakwood is the best place to live. Period.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.
