Thoughtful Updates Throughout the Home

Inviting Outdoor Living Spaces
The outdoor areas extend the livability of the home in a meaningful way.
Expanded front and back patios create multiple places to relax, while the covered back patio offers a shaded setting for gathering or unwinding at the end of the day. The backyard is enclosed with a board-on-board fence (April 2024), providing additional privacy.
Situated on a corner lot, the property offers additional space and a more open feel, enhancing both curb appeal and the overall outdoor experience.
Garland Living: Convenience, Connection, and Outdoor Access
This home is well positioned for both convenience and everyday enjoyment.
With easy access to major highways including I-30 and I-635, commuting across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is simple and efficient while still allowing you to enjoy a more relaxed, residential setting.
You’re also just minutes from Lake Ray Hubbard and nearby outdoor spaces, offering opportunities to get outside and enjoy time on the water or along local trails.
“The things I love about Garland is the strong park system with spots like Spring Creek Forest Preserve and Lake Ray Hubbard nearby. It is great for walking, biking, kayaking, or just relaxing outdoors. Easy access to major highways makes commuting simple, whether you’re heading into Dallas or surrounding suburbs like Plano or Richardson. Events in areas like Downtown Garland Square give it a small-town vibe, even though you’re in a large metro area. You get a calmer, suburban lifestyle but still have quick access to everything Dallas offers—jobs, nightlife, shopping, and entertainment.”
Garland ISD: Flexibility and School Choice Options
This home is located within Garland Independent School District, a district known for offering flexibility when it comes to school selection.
Garland ISD operates under a Choice of School system, allowing families to apply to attend different campuses within the district rather than being limited to one assigned school. This provides the opportunity to explore different programs and find a campus that best fits a student’s interests and needs.
The district also offers magnet programs and specialized campuses, including options focused on areas like STEM, college preparation, and career pathways.
“Garland ISD offers magnet programs, academies, and specialized campuses (STEM, college prep, etc.) There are a lot of school options within the district, so families can find a good fit for their children. Teachers average about 10+ years of experience, which helps with consistency and quality instruction.”
Everyday Convenience Close to Home
Daily errands, dining, and essentials are all within easy reach, making everyday life feel simple and accessible.
“We love to eat at Spring Creek BBQ, Olive Garden, Don Burgers, Chick Fil A, Chipotle and Papin’s Mexican Restaurant.”
“Grocery stores are plentiful, you have both Albertsons and Walmart just 5 minutes away!”
With a variety of nearby options, it’s easy to enjoy both quick meals and local favorites without going far from home.
What the Homeowner Loves About Living Here
Beyond the features of the home itself, what truly stands out is the lifestyle this location has provided over the years.
“I was drawn to the neighborhood’s strong sense of community, its accessibility, and the opportunity to establish a long-term home. It offered the kind of environment where I could grow and stay—and that’s exactly what it became.”
“What stands out to me is the sense of community and the everyday livability—whether it’s neighbors looking out for each other, being able to get outside and enjoy the area, or having everything conveniently nearby.”
The combination of accessibility, outdoor spaces, and nearby conveniences has made this a place where day-to-day living feels both connected and comfortable.
Utility Insights from the Homeowner
Practical details can make a difference, and the homeowner shared the following regarding utility experience:
“I have been a customer of TXU energy for 49 years. Our costs are lower than we have heard others are charged. TXU energy gives you the option to be on a average plan with a cash back rewards program, which was excellent. I have always used City of Garland for my water services which averaged about $80-150/month depending on the time of the year.”
For added clarity, current service providers for the home include:
- Electric: TXU Energy
- Water / Sewer / Trash: City of Garland
- Cable & Internet: Frontier Communications
Service providers and costs may vary depending on usage and plan selection.
