Lake town, owner-occupied.
Living in Flower Mound, Texas
Flower Mound borders Grapevine Lake, sits minutes from DFW Airport, and about 82.5% of its homes are owner-occupied.
Why Flower Mound
Denton County (small part in Tarrant County)
Flower Mound is a town of about 79,540 people (July 2025 Census estimate), almost entirely in Denton County with a small part in Tarrant County, and Grapevine Lake forms much of its southern edge. It is a homeowner town: the Census puts the owner-occupied rate at 82.5%, the median owner-occupied home value at $560,200 and the median household income at $161,235 (2020-2024 ACS). FM 2499 (Long Prairie Road) and FM 1171 (Cross Timbers Road) carry most local traffic toward SH 121, I-35E and DFW Airport.
The lesson in Flower Mound is that the ZIP and the school district change the math more than the town name does. In February 2026 the median sold price was $750,000 in 75022 but $494,000 in 75028, and homes in 75028 averaged 63 days on market versus 49 in 75022 (MetroTex data via Community Impact). Tax rates also differ by district, from about 1.65% in Lewisville ISD to about 1.73% in Argyle ISD for 2026, so compare homes on full monthly cost, not list price alone.
The numbers
Schools, taxes, commute
Lewisville ISD serves most of Flower Mound, including Flower Mound High School and Marcus High School, and counted 13,528 Flower Mound students in its 2023 figures. The town says five school districts serve Flower Mound: the western part is split among Argyle, Denton and Northwest ISDs, and the Tarrant County portion is in Grapevine-Colleyville ISD. Argyle ISD's new Argyle High School campus is in the town, so confirm the district for every address you consider.
For tax year 2026 a Flower Mound home in Denton County and Lewisville ISD pays about 1.65% combined (town 0.387277, Lewisville ISD 1.0778, Denton County 0.183394 per $100), and about 1.73% in Argyle ISD, which adopted 1.1558. On a $600,000 home at 1.65% that is about $9,900 a year, or roughly $825 a month, before the town's 20% homestead exemption, its $150,000 over-65 and disabled exemption and the school exemptions. Lewisville ISD cut its rate by 4 cents for 2026-27, and the town has kept its own rate essentially flat since 2024.

Being built now
The town plans an arts center on 3.67 acres in the River Walk development, with about $50 million projected and a tentative opening in spring 2029. Design and public feedback were underway as of January 2026.[5]
This 237-acre mixed-use development in western Flower Mound is planned at full buildout for 713 single-family lots, 280 townhomes, 300 apartments and 22.2 acres of retail. Council approved the 300-unit apartment site plan in February 2026.[6]
Toll Brothers' Havenwood, south of Cross Timbers Road between Shiloh Road and Scenic Drive, allows up to 222 lots in four phases, and council approved the 87-home first phase in March 2026.[7]
A $2.82 million project adds dual left-turn lanes, three through lanes and a right-turn lane in each direction, with completion projected for July 2027.[8]
The town planned a $6.93 million rebuild of streets, sidewalks and water and sewer lines on Timber Valley Drive and Fairfield Lane, running spring 2026 to summer 2027.[9]
Where to look in Flower Mound
Before you buy or sell
Check which of the five school districts a Flower Mound address is in before you tour it, because the district changes both the campuses and the tax rate. If you are weighing new construction in the western part of town against resale near Long Prairie Road, compare the full monthly payment, including any HOA, and the drive time to SH 121 at rush hour.
In February 2026 the average days on market ran about 49 in 75022 and 63 in 75028, so a Flower Mound listing needs to be priced and prepared to compete from the first weekend. Many homes here are 1990s and 2000s construction, and buyers comparing them to new builds in Canyon Falls, Brookview or Havenwood will focus on roof age, HVAC, windows and foundation. Addressing those items, with receipts, before you list usually protects your price better than a cosmetic remodel.
