Established homes next to downtown Garland

Terrace Bellaire is a residential neighborhood with older homes less than a mile from downtown Garland and about 18 miles from Downtown Dallas. "I love Garland," says local Realtor Donna Nichols of Ebby Halliday Real Estate, who has over 40 years of real estate experience in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. "I've been living here for a long time, and the city really is putting in a lot of work to make homes more affordable for everyone." The neighborhood is home to several public services, including an elementary school, a recreation center and a medical office. With three parks scattered throughout, Terrace Bellaire also offers plenty of green space in the established community.

Older ranch-style starter homes within Garland

Terrace Bellaire's loose grid-style streets prominently feature homes built as early as the 1940s with more contemporary homes sprouting up throughout the neighborhood. “The housing there is older, but it's a lot more affordable for first-time home buyers,” Nichols says. Ranch-style homes are most common in Terrace Bellaire while small Craftsman and cottage homes also fit into the mix. Ranch-style homes often range between $115,000 for a smaller home built in 1953 and $270,000 for one built in 1983 with a renovated interior. While less common, there are some New Traditional ranch-style homes range in price from $229,000 to $400,000 and some land for sale, with prices ranging from $80,000 for .12 acres to $225,000 for .35 acres. The housing market in Terrace Bellaire is relatively competitive with many homes being sold between four and five weeks, though newer builds can be scooped up much faster, says Nichols.
