Cost of Living in Garland, TX

Garland was named the 15th best city in the entire U.S. for saving money, which is definitely impressive considering how close it is to Dallas.

Basic utilities for a 915 square-foot apartment cost an average of $143 per month, which is just below the national average.

The commute to Dallas can be on the lengthy side during rush hour, but the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) light rail line makes it easier. Just park your car at the DART station and hitch a ride into town on the Blue Line. You can get a full-day pass for just $5.

A cup of Cappuccino for the ride to work will set you back around $3.65 on average. And when you're ready to unwind after your shift, you can enjoy dinner for two at a mid-range restaurant for about $40.
