In the southern portion of Flower Mound TX real estate—not too far from Grapevine Lake and The Grapevine Municipal Golf Course–the subdivisions of Shadow Ridge South and Shadow Ridge North enjoy a convenient location and warm community camaraderie. Look for the Shadow Ridge marquee as you drive along the International Parkway—here in the very southern part of Denton County real estate.
Money magazine recently selected Flower Mound as one of the Best Places to Live in Texas and the western United States. The region offers a reasonable cost of living with a variety of affordable Flower Mound TX homes in neighborhoods such as Shadow Ridge. If you are thinking of relocating here, look into other nearby thriving communities—homes in Lewisville, Carrollton real estate, Lantana homes, and real estate across the lake in Keller TX.
The actual city calls itself a “Town” and has a “Town” Council, although 70,000 people are nestled in its well-staked neighborhoods and Wellington and Bridlewood master-planned communities. In spite of being one of the fastest growing areas in the nation, real estate in Flower Mound is being preserved by many proactive decisions. Conservation properties, open spaces, award-winning Flower Mound trails, and recreation on the shores of Grapevine Lake help the Town to foster its rural heritage and improve property values.
The notable location just off I-35 five miles from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport has drawn a multitude of industries and professions—from scientific, management, administrative services, to waste management services, educational, health, and social services, to retail, finance, insurance, real estate, and manufacturing—providing a wide range of employment options.
For residents who enjoy boating, water sports, fishing, and strolling along the water’s edge, Shadow Ridge is only a bike ride away. In addition to the municipal course, golfers head out to Tour 18 and Bridlewood Golf Course and many other golf courses here in golf country. Then, there is the award-winning trail system for walking, running, cycling, skating, and horseback riding that connects neighborhoods, schools, parks, ball fields and facilities.
Students enjoy a top-rated education at the schools operated by Lewisville Independent School District, with the Shadow Ridge Middle School being right next door. Additionally, there are private schools such as Liberty Christian School, Coram Deo Academy, and The Highlands School. As the kids grow up, or if you care to pursue further course work, the Metroplex is a hub for renowned colleges and universities including the nearby University of Dallas.
The community history includes interesting chapters of Native Americans, European settlers, and fellow Americans. It received its present name 170 years ago when settlers described the area by the huge mound of wildflowers that still exists in the center of Town, now donning a historical marker and encircled by an iron fence.
Residents in the Shadow Ridge subdivisions welcome newcomers—including babies—in the community newsletter that will be hand delivered to your door. That is where you will find out who won the Yard of the Month, when the Spring Yard Sale is happening, who is hosting Girls Night at the Movies or a game of cards, when Santa will tell Christmas stories, and how your family can participate in the Halloween Carnival and Block Party.
