Flower Mound Real Estate

Some reasons that looking at homes for sale in Flower Mound may make a lot of sense for you and your family ...


The town of Flower Mound is located almost entirely in south Denton County along the north shore of Grapevine Lake, a 7,300-acre lake that is a favorite of area sailing and windsurfing enthusiasts. Flower Mound is well known for its hiking, cycling and equestrian trails that run both along the lake and through the town itself. These kinds of amenities, along with great schools, homes and neighborhoods, are some of the many reasons Flower Mound is one of the best places to buy a home in Dallas / Fort Worth.

After experiencing extraordinarily fast population growth in the 1990's, Flower Mound adopted in 2001 a growth management plan that continues to promote economic growth, but slowed residential real estate development to a more manageable pace and reduced residential building density in order to preserve the town's beautiful natural setting and small-town lifestyle.

Flower Mound got its somewhat unusual name when settlers moving into the area during the 1840's discovered an unusual 12.5-acre, 50-foot high mound that was covered with native wildflowers and grasses. This mound, still covered with native wildflowers and grasses, lies near what is now the town center.
