A Flower of a Town
Although technically a city, Flower Mound styles itself as a town with a small-town feel that has made it irresistible to homebuyers looking for an ideal place to settle down.
Its scenic vistas take your breath away. The town lies between two lakes – Lewisville Lake to the north and Grapevine Lake to the south – and has a lush, wooded landscape that residents have worked hard to preserve throughout the years.
Despite being one of the fastest-growing areas in the entire country for nearly two decades, Flower Mound has retained many of its rural characteristic, due to its the adoption of smart growth. Urban sprawl and overdevelopment are things you won’t find in this smartly managed town. Its livable neighborhoods are characterized by strategically located open spaces.
This North Texas town has been the recipient of a number of “Best of” awards in recent years. Among other accolades, Flower Mound has been named the “#1 Best Place to Live in Texas” by CNN/Money and was ranked fifth in Frommer’s Best Places to Raise Your Family: The Top 100 Affordable Communities.

Enjoying Flower Mound

Its two golf courses, Bridlewood and Tour 18, are challenging as well as beautiful. Bridlewood measures 7,000 yards from the back tees and offers unbeatable views of lakes and rolling hills.

Featuring replicas of holes from 16 top courses, it includes three closing holes that those who’ve seen the Augusta National’s “Amen Corner” will immediately recognize.
