My husband just applied for a job in Garland. Can anyone tell me about the area? We have a 4 year old and an infant, is it family friendly? How are the schools?

 Thanks.

    If he gets the job, you may want to look in the Rockwall or Heath area, it seems to be nicer and the schools are better.

    I live in N. Garland near Firewheel and I love the area. Like a pp said it depends on the area you are looking in.

    The Firewheel mall area is the only place I'd move back to if I moved back to Garland.  But only on that side of the George Bush Turnpike, lol.  Across the other way there are some not so nice areas.  I used to live in a house where Firewheel mall now stands.  Rockwall, Heath, Sachse seem to be better areas to live in.

    North Garland is good... Above Walnut St... or Rowlett. Firewheel mall areas areas are pretty good. Schools are pretty good, I graduated from Garland High School in 2007.

    One good thing about Garland is that there is freedom of choice in the school district, so if you find a house in one part of the city but want a different school, you can do that.  There are some magnet schools and academies.
