The city of Garland website states that “Garland is where things are made.” What things, you ask? Kraft foods, Resistol hats, and a variety of electronics, oilfield equipment, and aluminum parts. It’s an older city with many affordable single-family homes and apartments. The area is quite ethnically diverse with a sizeable Vietnamese population and has made “best” lists for its appeal to both retirees and working parents.
