Camelot
The Garland pocket where some streets are zoned Richardson ISD: check the address before you offer
Camelot sits in northwest Garland (75044) right against the Richardson city line, in Dallas County. It is a 1970s–80s brick-and-ranch neighborhood on big, mature lots, and its defining feature is a split school-district line: depending on the street, a Camelot home falls in Richardson ISD or Garland ISD. That single fact drives most of the buyer interest here: a Richardson ISD attendance address at a Garland price. Redfin reports a trailing-12-month average sale price of roughly $348K (down about 1% year over year), with homes going under contract in about 28 days as of July 2026.

Highlights
What makes Camelot stand out
- Split zoning: parts of Camelot are Richardson ISD, parts are Garland ISD
- Richardson ISD access (Big Springs Elementary) at a Garland price point
- 1970s–80s brick homes on large, mature, tree-covered lots
- Homes run roughly 1,400–4,100 sq ft with 3–5 bedrooms, real space for the money
- A large share of the stock is original, so renovation dollars are rewarded here
- Redfin puts the trailing-12-month average around $348K, well under most north-suburb comps (July 2026)
- Bush Turnpike and Firewheel Town Center are a short drive away
Best Fit
A Richardson ISD address without a Richardson price tag, 1970s brick construction on a big lot, a house that rewards renovation, and a commute to Richardson or Plano tech employers. It is not a resort-amenity neighborhood. The draw is location, lot size, and the district line.

Check these before you offer
The trade-offs a listing will not mention. None of these are reasons not to buy here; they are the things worth pricing in.
- The whole reason to buy here is the district line, and it runs street by street. A Camelot address proves nothing about Richardson ISD access, so confirm the specific address before you write.
- The stock is 1970s to 1990s and a large share is original. That is the renovation upside and it is also roofs, HVAC, and on the earliest homes cast iron plumbing.
- Most streets have no mandatory association, which keeps carrying costs low and means no covenants governing what a neighbor does with their lot.
- Garland is in Dallas County, not Collin. Tax rates, county services and the appraisal district are all different from the Collin County suburbs buyers often compare it against.
- Prices here have been broadly flat to slightly down, so price against current comps rather than last year's.
Camelot: Frequently Asked Questions
Is Camelot in Garland zoned to Richardson ISD?
Some of it. Camelot straddles the Richardson ISD / Garland ISD boundary, so the answer depends on the specific street and address, not on the neighborhood name. RISD-zoned homes generally feed Big Springs Elementary, Apollo Junior High, and Berkner High School; GISD-zoned homes generally feed Hickman Elementary, Webb Middle, and Naaman Forest High. Never assume from a listing description. Have Mali pull the district and campus assignment for the exact address before you offer. It is the single most consequential detail in this neighborhood.
What do homes in Camelot cost?
Redfin reported an average Camelot sale price of about $348K over the trailing twelve months as of July 2026, down roughly 1% year over year, with individual sales spanning from the $250Ks up past $700K for larger custom homes. Most of the market trades in the $280K–$450K band. Homes were selling in about 28 days, so it moves, but the softer year-over-year trend gives a prepared buyer room to negotiate.
What are Camelot’s schools actually rated?
Both sides rate well, which is worth saying plainly because the split line leads buyers to assume one side must be the compromise. In the state's 2025 accountability ratings the Richardson ISD side has Big Springs Elementary at a B (81 out of 100) and Berkner High School at a B (83); the Garland ISD side has Webb Middle at a B (85) and Naaman Forest High School at a B (88). Garland ISD also runs a district-wide open-enrollment program called Choose Your School (garlandisd.net/choose-your-school), which lets families apply to campuses outside their zoned school, including magnet and specialty programs. Ratings are the 2025 TEA figures; confirm the current year and your program eligibility before deciding.
Does Camelot have an HOA?
Most Camelot streets have no mandatory HOA, one of the reasons carrying costs here stay low compared with newer master-planned communities. There is no published, verifiable dues figure for the neighborhood, so treat any number you see quoted with suspicion and confirm by address before closing.
Is Camelot in Collin County?
No. Garland is in Dallas County, not Collin County. That matters for property tax rates, county services, and appraisal district filings. Camelot homes are appraised by the Dallas Central Appraisal District, not Collin CAD.
