Longtime lurker here, With a population of 245K, Garland is a mid-size city. Homes are going for about $248,900 on average. The suburbs are where most families end up. Is this normal for Garland? The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Compared to Tampa it's better than expected.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.

I've been here 15 years and the quality of life is solid. The thing nobody mentions is community vibe. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the job market is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is improving.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Springfield side vs the Lakewood side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..
