Quiet, park-like Garland, Texas, suburb
Oaks is a quiet, park-like enclave in Garland, Texas, known for its towering trees and green spaces. A river and a greenbelt cut through the community, connecting residents to other parks, hiking trails and areas of town. Oaks also sits less than 3 miles from Lake Ray Hubbard, a central spot for boating and fishing. The suburb’s appeal goes beyond outdoor recreation. “The area has great schools, and it’s in a great location,” says Eric Torres, a Realtor for TDT Realtors who has served the area for 18 years. “You’re close to Dallas, so you really get the best of everything.” Dallas is 15 miles away, and Downtown Garland sits 7 miles north, offering a variety of shopping, dining and entertainment.
The Oaks neighborhood is a well established area with mature trees.
