A vintage community near the heart of downtown Garland

Hiland embodies the city of Garland's 100-plus years of storied history through its vintage homes and multifaceted park. Central Park, located in the heart of Hiland, laid the groundwork for the city's park and recreation system as its first official municipal park. Over the years, it's become a community staple, known for its massive playground and dog park. Sidewalk-lined streets connect the park with most homes in Hiland, where maturity and price points pique interest. "Hiland is old-school Garland," says Realtor Clay Garrett of Keller Williams Dallas Midtown. Garrett works on a team with his wife, who have sold homes across the region for over a decade. "The houses are older, but people are drawn here because of their affordability." And what Hiland doesn't fully capture of Garland's history is attainable steps away in its rustic downtown area. "You're very close to downtown, which has this really cool uniqueness to it," Garrett says. "In all, Hiland residents are good people."

Navigating Garland

DART buses shuttle across nearby roads like South First Street and West Miller Road, but residents primarily drive to get around. Locals typically hop on Interstate 30 for an 18-mile trip into the heart of Dallas. "I-78 is the main road in Garland," Garrett says. "It takes you up north toward Lavon Lake." Healthcare is provided at Garland VA Medical Center, about 3 miles away. The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is about 30 miles away.
