The City Of Flower Mound, Texas

General Information

Choosing a Flower Mound, Texas relocation means a move to one of the most attractive suburbs of Dallas. This small city with a population of just over 60,000 individuals has become one of the most desirable places to live in the nation. The city has easy and quick access to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, allowing residents and visitors to the area to make use of the commercial air service whenever they desire. Because the city is located on the outskirts of the Dallas-Fort Worth -Arlington metropolitan area, residents of the city can enjoy the best of both worlds, a small town atmosphere at home combined with all the amenities of a big city nearby.

The city of Flower Mound is named for a huge mound located in the southern portion of the city which is covered with hundred of wildflowers throughout much of the year. Although the mound is located in a commercial district, the mound is privately owned to ensure that it will not succumb to the development in the area. The entire city has a total area of about 43 square miles and a climate that is the envy of many other areas. The climate of the city, though hot in the summer, is relatively mild throughout the rest of the year. The city receives little precipitation and it is very rare that the temperature in the city dips below freezing, even in the depths of winter.

Economy

The economy of Flower Mound is heavily dependent on the economy of neighboring Dallas, as that is where many of the residents choose to seek employment.

Many of the housing units available in the city are single family homes, although there are some apartments and condos available in the city as well.
