A centrally located classic suburban enclave

Nuzzled between the sparkling blue waters of Lewisville and Grapevine Lakes, Prairie Creek offers the quintessential suburban experience. Tucked away in the Town of Flower Mound, mature trees cast shadows over tidy lawns, winding streets lead to roomy cul-de-sacs, and well-kept homes within walking distance of picturesque parks. Along with great schools and access to outdoor recreation, community is everything, “People really are best friends with their neighbors,” says Town Communication Specialist Anna Thorsen. With convenient access to Dallas about 30 miles away, shopping, dining, and neighboring Lewisville’s small-town charm, Prairie Creek offers it all.

Single-family homes with attached garages

Residential streets canopied by the occasional oak lead to a diverse range of single-family homes. Styles range from the quintessential Texas one-story house with steeply pitched roofs, attached garages and open floor plans to modest ranch-style homes. Other properties include two-story traditional homes with brick facades, sun-soaked windows, and the occasional colonial and Bi-Level. Sidewalks are abundant for peaceful afternoon strolls and bike rides. Most properties offer ample yard space, often large enough to accommodate private pools. Most homes were built in the 1980s and ’90s and have been updated recently. Depending on the size and condition, home prices range from the low $300,000s for a ranch-style home with carpeting and tile floors to just over $700,000 for a New Traditional house with an inground pool and three-car garage.

A-rated schools in Flower Mound

The Lewisville Independent School District serves the students of Flower Mound and scores high ratings on Niche. “The school district serves both Flower Mound and neighboring Lewisville. It’s known for its good schools, often attracting families seeking a high quality of life,” says Levi Lascsak, a local Realtor with Exp Realty, who has 4 years of experience in the industry. Kids in the neighborhood may attend A-rated public schools like Timber Creek Elementary and Lamar Middle. Students then attend Marcus High School, which scores an outstanding A-plus rating on Niche. Home of the Marauders, Marcus High is known for its exceptional athletics department and football team.

Green escapes within walking distance

Prairie Creek is home to three neighborhood parks, “Flower Mound did a great job regarding urban planning. There is an abundance of green spaces and parks throughout town,” Lascsak says. The largest, Jake’s Hilltop Park, offers five baseball fields, wide-open spaces inviting kites and friendly football games, and playgrounds for tots and older kids. Colony Park provides large fields and a basketball court, but most folks hide from the Texas heat under shades that cover the picnic tables and play equipment. Finally, Prairie Creek Park offers a small pocket of shady green space with picnic tables and a whimsical woodland-themed playground. Beyond the neighborhood borders, two large lakes sit 5 miles north and south, explaining the boats parked in many a Prairie Creek driveway. Flower Mound’s uber-active parks and rec department also keeps up with 59 miles of hiking, biking and equestrian trails and 57 parks, including Heritage Park, home to the 5-acre Hound Mound Dog Park and the C.A.C. Pool and Water Park for indoor and outdoor recreation.

Shopping and dining along Village Parkway

Although residential, Prairie Creek is centrally located, with easy access to surrounding upscale amenities, Lascsak notes. About 3 miles away, massive retailers like Target, World Market and Lowe’s Home Improvements line Village Parkway, along with high-end shopping at The Shops at Highland Village. While there, locals can opt for organic produce at Whole Foods Market or head to Cross Timbers Road for trips to Kroger, Market Street and Sprouts Farmers Market. Nearby eateries range from casual spots like Gyro 360 for fresh Mediterranean flavors to upscale restaurants like Hillside Fine Grill and the Shoal Creek Tavern. Popular brunch spots include Seven Mile Cafe, while various Mexican restaurants are scattered around town, like Mi Cocina and Mi Dia From Scratch for a frozen margarita on the patio.

Annual festivities at Heritage Park

About 5 miles away, Heritage Park plays host to numerous community events throughout the year. The arrival of spring brings blooming flowers and the beauty of local artwork at the Arts Festival to the colorful hues at the Holi Festival. Flower Mound’s Concerts in the Park Series is also held at Heritage Park, where locals can catch a flick every Friday in May. Next door, the grounds of Bakersfield Park are filled to the brim on the Fourth of July for fireworks, live music and classic car shows during Independence Fest. “Even in these huge crowds, it’s typical to run into the mayor and chat. Everyone comes out and spends time together. It’s really special to see just how much our neighbors love each other,” Thorsen says.

Commutes to Dallas-Fort Worth

“The majority of folks here commute, and even though we’re a small town, we’re only 7 to 10 minutes from the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport,” Thorsen says. State Highway 121 and Interstate 35E serve as major thoroughfares. Although Prairie Creek is a car-dependent community, commuters can opt to catch the commuter rail about 5 miles away at Lewisville’s Old Town Station. Additional nearby amenities include Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, Medical City Lewisville, and houses of worship, including a synagogue and numerous churches.
