Garland Overview

Officially considered a suburb of Dallas and just a stone's throw from the big city lights of Fort Worth, apartments in Garland are an in-demand commodity. Consistently topping 'best place to live' rankings on numerous national outlets such as CNN, this city of just over 200,000 is one of the most highly lauded of its kind in the entire great state of Texas.

What is the history of Garland?

Garland was incorporated in 1891, and the arrival of an electrical generator plant in 1920 saw much growth in the area. Despite the tragedy of a serious tornado in 1927, the city grew quickly, with many industries including Kraft Foods moving into the city through the 1950s. The addition of a conference center, shopping plaza and more have accompanied the city's expansion into the current hub of business and activity that is Garland.

How is the weather in Garland?

Garland apartment residents can expect long and hot summer months, often extending well into September. Spring can be wet and prone to storms, with Garland just hitting the tip of Oklahoma's notorious 'tornado alley'. Fall is typically mild and dry, with nights dipping into the 50's.

How do I get around town?

The DART Rail is a popular option utilized by many Garland apartment residents, offering rides to Dallas and beyond. The Kansas City Southern Rail also offers some service, and bus lines are commonplace throughout downtown. Garland is home to the first municipal heliport in all of Texas, and the Dallas Airport is a short drive from many rentals in Garland.

What is the Garland commute like?

Interstates 30 and 635 act as the main in and outs of the city, with President George Bush Turnpike offering a toll road option as well. SH 78 is more of a rural yet well-used roadway, and those commuting to the Dallas or Fort Worth job markets can expect a sloth-like drive on most days. Ride-sharing has become a popular option in the city, though the constant north Texas road construction has led an equal amount of the populace to utilize the DART Rail and other work-arounds.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Dallas Morning News' tends to be the go-to print media for the city, although the Garland Arts Notes is also a popular bi-monthly read. Radio is largely composed of talk, sports, classic rock and country, while television affiliates such as NBC and FOX are serviced to most Garland apartments from the nearby Dallas market.

What is there to do around Garland?

The Landmark Museum is a hit with history buffs of all ages, and the Plaza Theater presents productions and musical acts throughout the year.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Oklahoma City is a quick drive to the north, offering a number of antiques shops and museums, while the college down of Denton is a staple of the Texas indie rock scene. Austin, Texas is about four hours to the south, complete with its oh-so-famous BBQ joints like Franklin, and out-of-town escapes like Hot Springs, Arkansas make excellent weekend getaways.
