Downtown Garland


Downtown Garland is a small-town square with big-city rail at its edge. The historic plaza buzzes with murals, festivals, and the art-deco Plaza Theatre's glowing marquee. Catch a Garland Civic Theatre show at the Granville Arts Center, then dig into brisket and craft beer at Intrinsic Smokehouse & Brewery. Snap a photo under the giant Big Hat sculpture and catch the free first-Friday Music Made Here concerts. The DART Blue Line station makes downtown Dallas a straight, car-free ride away. Firewheel Town Center's open-air shopping sits just up the road. For renters who want real character, live music, and rail at the door, Downtown Garland is a comeback story worth calling home.
