Suburban neighborhood near central Garland

The established English neighborhood is a convenient suburban enclave located just a few miles from downtown Garland and 15 miles from downtown Dallas. With Garland being the third-most populated city in the Metroplex, areas of residential peace are sought after. "It is a very nice, suburban place," says Sandra Prieto, a Global Realty Realtor with over 12 years of experience. "It's just a nice community." English's modest midcentury homes are close to parks, the DART light rail and popular chain restaurants and big-box stores lining Highway 78, which runs alongside the neighborhood.
