A leafy Garland suburb surrounded by amenities
A leafy suburb in south Garland, Southgate offers a quiet, small-town feel, with access to nearly any big-city amenity. Four miles from the vibrant Downtown Garland scene, Southgate has its own identity, filled with locally owned shops and restaurants, miles of parkland and highly ranked schools. “The area has great schools, and it’s in a great location,” says Eric Torres, Realtor for TDT Realtors, who has served the area for 18 years. “You’re close to Dallas, and Lake Ray Hubbard is right there, so you really get the best of everything.” Proximity to several major thoroughfares gets residents to Dallas and Plano in 13 miles and provides access to the rest of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
As the sun sets in Southgate, families gather in comfortable homes.

There are a variety of locally owned Mexican restaurants in Southgate. Cuquita’s Restaurant is known for its gorditas, menudo and mariachi music. Taqueria La Jaliciense is the go-to spot for breakfast tacos, carne asada tacos and other Tex-Mex fare. Taqueria La Famosito is another taqueria where locals rave about its authentic al pastor and lengua tacos. “You’ll always be close to a taco place, and that’s why I love Garland,” says Patrick Abell, Realtor with United Real Estate for nearly 10 years. The Beef House American Food is another locally owned 24-hour diner for southern comforts like chicken fried steak, pot roast and cobblers. Winco, Dollar Tree and Walmart are within the neighborhood for essentials.

Most were built in the late-1960s and range from the mid-$200,000s for a 1,600-square-foot three-bedroom to the low-$500,000s for a 3,000-square-foot four-bedroom. Townhouses are also available on the community’s western side. Prices range from the high-$100,000s for a three-bedroom to the high-$200,000s for a four-bedroom.

Surrounded by a 200-acre greenbelt
The 2-acre Buddy Graham Park has a playground, paved paths and shaded picnic space. Being next to Roach Elementary, it’s a popular spot for before- and after-school hours. Spanning 17 acres, Wynne Park features a splashpad, tire swings, a basketball court and a natural wooded area. The 230-acre Duck Creek Greenbelt backs up to Wynne Park, sitting on the other side of Southgate’s southern edge. Encompassing multiple parks, the greenbelt contains the longest continuous trail in the county’s northeastern corner at nearly 6-miles long. There are fishing ponds, soccer fields and basketball courts, along with the 32-acre Troth Ablon Park, which provides a cricket field and picnic tables. Meadowcreek Branch Park is less than 2 miles from the community and offers spinning and climbing structures for children and 10 acres of picnic space. While residents have a variety of outdoor recreation nearby, Abell says Garland’s park system is still being improved. “The city has passed a masterplan to redevelop our parks that will include splash pads and a walking pad that will connect the city from one side to the other,” says Abell. “We have lost some families to the surrounding cities because Garland didn’t have many places for families with young children, but that’s changing tremendously, and through these initiatives, we are seeing many families coming back.” Lake Ray Hubbard is 5 miles east for boaters and fishers seeking fun on the water.
Wynne Park is a great spot to practice shooting hoops in Southgate.
