Garland Real Estate Overview

A Diverse, Accessible, and Affordable Housing Market in the Heart of DFW

About Garland, TX

Located just northeast of Dallas, Garland is one of the most established and dynamic cities in the DFW Metroplex. With a population of over 240,000, it combines urban convenience, affordable living, and multicultural vibrancy—making it a compelling choice for first-time buyers, families, and long-term investors alike.

Garland is exceptionally commuter-friendly, thanks to its access to major highways like I-635, I-30, US-75, and the President George Bush Turnpike (PGBT). Additionally, it’s one of the few DFW cities served by DART Light Rail, offering a direct connection to downtown Dallas and other employment hubs. Whether you're headed to Plano, Richardson, North Dallas, or Downtown, Garland’s location makes getting there easy.

Beyond its accessibility, Garland offers a rich mix of lifestyle perks: a robust park system with over 2,800 acres of green space, a growing arts and cultural scene, strong local schools, and a low cost of living relative to many nearby suburbs. All of this makes it a standout for those who want value, community, and convenience.

Homes for Sale in Garland, TX

Garland’s real estate market is both diverse and accessible, featuring homes for nearly every budget and stage of life. From original-owner mid-century ranches to newly constructed subdivisions, the housing inventory appeals to everyone from first-time buyers to downsizers and seasoned investors.

Home options include:

  • Mid-century ranch-style homes in established neighborhoods—many with character, mature trees, and renovation potential

  • Fully renovated properties featuring updated kitchens, open-concept layouts, and energy-efficient systems

  • New construction in emerging developments and infill projects, offering modern finishes and smart-home tech

  • Larger homes in planned communities like Firewheel and Springpark, known for their proximity to golf, trails, and shopping

  • Townhomes and investment properties, ideal for rental income or low-maintenance living

  • Custom homes and executive-style properties in neighborhoods like Oakridge that provide quick access to country clubs, nature trails, and major employers

Thanks to its affordability, Garland often allows buyers to stretch their budget and secure more square footage or upgraded finishes than they could find in neighboring cities like Plano, Richardson, or Dallas proper.

Why Homebuyers Choose Garland

Buyers are drawn to Garland for its value, but they stay for the community, culture, and connectivity.
