Mix of homes in Central Garland
The central Garland neighborhood of Western Heights combines quaint homes from the mid-1900s with new, modern builds. "Western Heights is one of Garland's quiet, well-located neighborhoods with older, reasonably priced homes and easy access to Richardson and Dallas," says Michelle Jones, a Garland resident and real estate agent with Keller Williams North Country. "But it also has some new homes in the middle of the older homes, so that makes it a little different from other neighborhoods." In addition to the homes, the neighborhood's proximity to local restaurants, shops, and downtown makes it an appealing option for those living in the Metroplex.

Mid-century homes and modern builds
A mix of towering trees with sprawling leaves, thin trees shorter than a garage door, and bushes with various colors of flowers fill the streets of Western Heights. Narrow streets offer street parking but leave little room for ongoing traffic, and thin sidewalks require walkers to step off the sidewalk when they pass. Many of the area's more modest homes were built in the 1950s through the 1970s, with some larger homes coming from the 2020s. Prices typically range from about $300,000 for a ranch-style house with a garage to about $650,000 for a new construction home with traditional architecture and craftsman influence. Home sizes range from 1,200 square feet to nearly 3,000 square feet, with the average being just over 1,600 square feet. "The older homes in Western Heights have decently sized lots, which isn't always the case with new builds," Jones says. "If you want a little bit of a larger front and back yard, go with one of the older homes in the neighborhood."
