There’s no grand announcement, but a shift is happening. Flower Mound, a North Texas suburb, is becoming a place people seriously consider when it’s time to move for function. If you’re curious about the factors that are turning it into a top pick, this breakdown highlights exactly what’s behind the momentum.
Top Schools
A strong school system anchors the whole town. In Flower Mound, education hits high marks. The local high school has a 98% graduation rate, and the entire district ranks among Texas’s best. Aviation and Mandarin are offered in AP classes. Some campuses have even earned National Blue Ribbon awards.
High Incomes
How do you spot a town that’s thriving? Check the paychecks. Flower Mound’s median household income tops $150,000, placing it comfortably in the top 10% nationally. Many residents work in finance or tech. It’s the kind of place where boutique fitness studios outnumber fast-food joints.
Safe Streets
Peace of mind is priceless, and in Flower Mound, it’s part of daily life. Repeatedly ranked among the safest towns in Texas, it has one of the state’s lowest crime rates. The police even offer vacation checks. Moreover, locals are known to leave their doors unlocked during the day.
Plenty Of Green Space
When city living gets too loud, some people search for more green. Flower Mound answers with over 1,000 acres of protected parkland and more than 75 miles of scenic trails. There’s a butterfly garden and also a “Kid Fish” derby that turns local ponds into happy chaos once a year.
Low Property Taxes
In Flower Mound, owning a big home doesn’t come with a crushing tax bill. Property taxes are noticeably lower than those in places like Frisco and Plano. Seniors enjoy extra exemptions, and many residents use the savings to put in backyard pools or renovate their patios.
The River Walk
Flower Mound’s River Walk is the heart of a growing, walkable community. The 46-acre space weaves trails and a flowing water feature into daily life. There’s even a chapel and a lively art festival where sidewalks become canvases. Weekends here move at a good pace.
Close To Dallas
Big-city access without big-city chaos is part of Flower Mound’s draw. It sits just 28 miles from downtown Dallas and only 10 minutes from DFW Airport. Some residents commute to skyscrapers by day and relax lakeside by night. From certain neighborhoods, you can catch jets gliding overhead.
Strong Home Values
Real estate here holds its ground. Homes typically list above $500,000, and online platforms report consistent growth. Even when the economy stumbles, this market doesn’t. Some houses come with sweeping golf course views or private wine cellars—extra perks that boost appeal without shaking price confidence.
Work Is Readily Available
Job hunting isn’t a stress point here. Flower Mound’s unemployment rate hovers around just 3%, with industries like healthcare and logistics driving opportunity. Some employers are still looking for more talent than they can find. Corporate HQs and tech startups are blending seamlessly into the town.
Exceptional Library
What brings people together in Flower Mound? Often, it’s the library. Known across Texas for outstanding service, it reaches over 40,000 residents. Beyond books, it offers hands-on cooking sessions and telescopes you can borrow. It’s no surprise the place draws more than just young readers.
