SperlingViews - Flower_Mound, Texas

The population has not been 22,000 in quite a number of years. It stands at approximately 60,000 as of 2009. All in all a great place to live with a fair amount of rural charachter. Of course, it is just a 10 miles north of DFW airport so there is a fair amount of noise anytime the wind is blowing out of the north. (The planes depart north bound when the wind is out of the north) Also, there are pollution issues being in the DFW area. Schools are good, traffic not so much.[read more...]

I love living in Flower Mound. It is a very clean, growing community. The businesses here are dedicated to using the most advanced technology and being green.[read more...]

I've lived in Flower Mound for the past 21 years and can't imagine living anywhere else in the DFW area. Nice people, reasonable housing costs, reasonable property tax rate, lovely neighborhoods. Close enough to DFW airport to be convenient to all of the DFW metroplex, but far enough away to not be bothered by the planes. Since we are north of the airport, and the majority of the "wind" in Texas comes in from the south, we seldom have planes taking off (the noisiest part of planes) over our heads. I have lived in the DFW area for over 50 years and Flower Mound is by far the best place in this area.[read more...]

I have been a resident of Flower Mound since late 1990, so I have seen MANY changes and tremendous growth. Most of the growth has been well planned. Road construction has been a little slow but this is common in many fast growing towns. But, they are catching up and the roads have been designed and built well. Very good Utility services and phone/cable services as well. Hardly ever is there a problem. The Schools are excellent! The Police and Fire department are also excellent. They are true public servants. Crime has increased in this area. It is not the nice, quite, sleepy little town it once was.[read more...]

Let me first state that I moved here from California. I was born & raised in Southern CA (my folks are Texans) and lived briefly ('03 - '06) in Northern CA. It goes without saying that nearly everything is cheaper here. Houses are cheaper, groceries, gas, taxes and probably a few more things I can't think of now. Houses range from $150K to the millions, $200K to $300 will net you a pretty decent home with a lot of bells and whistles. There's not much in the way of scenic views. I grew up in the shadow of the San Bernardino Mountains (yeah, the ones that burned), but honestly half the time you couldn't see them because of the smog/haze. Here there are definitely more trees and open spaces. The city of Flower Mound seems to have their act together. There are miles of city trails and tons of parks. The schools are very highly rated and local Marcus High School has a top notch band and football program. [read more...]

Flower Mound is one of the most conservative communities in one of the most conservative counties (Denton) in perhaps the most conservative major metropolitan area in the country. The area was home to former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Armey for two decades. The GOP primary is the de facto election, since few Democrats choose to run. Local politics are much more interesting. Rural areas of the county are increasingly being coveted by homebuilders and commercial developers, which means there's an ever-present battle between developers and those who want to preserve a quieter life in the country.[read more...]

What I like about Flower Mound is the low crime rate and easy access to DFW airport and nearly anywhere in the metroplex. Very nice neighborhoods, outstanding public schools and several high-quality Christian schools in the area. Good family, kid-friendly environment. [read more...]

I've lived in Flower Mound pretty much my whole life, and don't really have any complaints. However, it's growing extremely fast. There's so much more traffic now, I hardly even recognize it. Flower Mound may be alright, but I'm getting out of TX. Can't stand most of the nearby cities, or the heat.[read more...]

I teach at Flower Mound High School in Flower Mound, Texas. The education system is good to great depending on the classroom teacher your student might get. The facilities are of the highest quality. Most people in Flower Mound are professionals. Many if not most of the homes range in the $200,000 range up to millions of dollars. Many airline pilots and doctors live in the area as well as many successful business people. It is a very Republican area. It can also be very cliquish. The people are nice, if you fit in. The schools are completely safe. I would feel very comfortable leaving my classroom door unlocked all day with no one in it and leave some valuables around. Crime is non-existant in Flower Mound. Fights at school do not exist. It attempts to be very academic and is to a certain extent. We have brilliant students and great teachers. That is what makes our school so great. But, the underlying philosophy behind the administration is "do not upset the parents". If you can get thru this you have a great school system.[read more...]
