A suburban neighborhood in Garland with a noble name

Hear ye, hear ye! While King Arthur and Guinevere don't call it home, the centrally located suburban neighborhood known as Camelot offers designer homes that are fit for royalty and surrounded by small city amenities, well-regarded school districts and long swaths of green space. "Two of the biggest draws to Camelot are the location and the price point," says Realtor Melissa Touris, a principal of the Touris and Leech Group at Compass Real Estate. Grocers, department stores and chain restaurants are situated along President George Bush Highway, which runs through Camelot's lower leg. The highway provides an easy route to get to both Plano and Garland cities, along with a myriad of shopping outlets, diverse eateries and lively bars. Touris adds that it is relatively easy to find employment here as the neighborhood is within reasonable commuting distance of Dallas. Downtown Garland is within 5 miles of Camelot and has recently undergone a significant renovation that exceeded $25 million. The new downtown Garland includes an imaginative play area, a lawn for events and gatherings and prism gateways that light up at night – providing the perfect backdrop for live music.

A groovy selection of Centennial homes built by Fox & Jacobs

Several small bodies of water that run straight through the neighborhood are framed by rows of primarily Traditional and midcentury modern ranch homes. Most residences were built during the Fox & Jacobs heydays, which took place between the 1970s and mid-1990s. Generally, prices fall between $250,000 and $750,000, depending on the property's living space, which typically ranges from 1,400 to 4,100 square feet and offers three to five bedrooms. Camelot-area folks take pride in their homes, which is made apparent by the Camelot Neighborhood Association Yard of the Month winners' immaculate lawns. Yard of the Month isn't the only contest sponsored by the voluntary association. The annual neighborhood picnic and chili cook-off, held in the fall, provides Camelot residents another opportunity for friendly competition and neighborly camaraderie.

Camelot has plenty of green spaces between parks and golf courses

Bisby Park has 5.7 acres of neighborhood green space, including a playground, an all-purpose sports court and a baseball field. Larger swaths of green space include the 24-acre Fred E. Harris Section of the Spring Creek Greenbelt, which has a dinosaur-themed playground, a short paved trail and a pond with a fishing pier. Dog-friendly Huffhines Park is less than 5 miles from the neighborhood's western side. For those days when sitting at the park is too hot, residents head to Hawaiian Waters Garland. Residents can cool off in the Texas heat by rushing down the park's long slides, swimming in an expansive wave pool and floating along a winding lazy river. Other outdoor activities include a round of golf at Firewheel Golf Park, which consists of the Old Course, the Lakes Course and the Bridges Course. The Bridges Course is the newest, with 27 holes among rolling hills and large oak trees.
