Flower Mound’s largest subdivision

Wellington has come a long way since residents first opened the doors to their custom homes in 1995. Eight more phases of development followed the first Wellington of Flower Mound build-out, and additions like Brandywine at Wellington, Wichita Chase and Hillcrest at Wellington followed suit. Today, just under 2,400 properties pack the neighborhood, all branching off centrally located Flower Mound Road. What the community contends with in size, it certainly makes up for in amenities. “I would say the best parts of living in Wellington are feeling safe, the close community, and that everything is well-maintained for the most part,” says Angie Yocum, a Realtor with RE/MAX DFW Associates who lived in Wellington for 16 years. “All of the facilities like the pools, playgrounds, tennis courts and workout center are very nice to have.” The Wellington of Flower Mound Residential Association plays a vital role in these amenities, updating equipment and fostering community among the subdivisions through classes, friendly competitions and more. With several area schools within Wellington’s boundaries, community involvement and support for education is strong. Beyond the neighborhood, major thoroughfares connect residents to the greater "FloMo" social network, recreation at Grapevine Lake, 4 miles away, and Dallas and Fort Worth.

Elegant brick homes along Flower Mound Road

Over 2,000 custom brick and limestone homes occupy tight lots along these winding drives, save for the coveted oversized lot on a cul-de-sac. Most backyards have just enough space for an in-ground pool or large shady patio, with more recent editions like Brandywine and Wichita Chase offering increased acreage at a slightly higher price point. Residents must submit a request form to the homeowners association for any exterior home changes, such as a fresh coat of paint or a new perennial flower bed. Traditional and French Country influences dominate the architecture here, all with plenty of interior space—even select ranch-style offerings have steeply pitched roofs to make room for vaulted ceilings. Tall columns and arched entryways provide shelter from the Texas sun, and many homes include eclectic twists, like dormer windows facing sideways instead of forward or narrow front stoops, making room for dramatic bay windows. The CAP overall crime score for the neighborhood is 1 out of 10—the lowest possible score—and the streets tend to be quiet most days of the week. Depending on the square footage and acreage, homes in Wellington can range from $500,000 to $950,000, plus $990 annual dues.

Anchored by two amenity-rich clubhouses

Two recreational complexes with playsets are paid for through homeowners association dues. They are distinguishable by color. “When my kids were little, they really liked going to the ‘blue fish park’ in the neighborhood—or that’s what we called it,” Yocum says. Wellington neighbors may also have fond memories of visiting another earth-toned playground. Residents have full access to two junior Olympic-sized swimming pools, both equipped with cabanas for hot summer days, one of which is home to the Wellington Sharks Swim Team. Other facilities include tennis, pickleball, volleyball, and basketball courts. There is also a putting green and a disc golf course. The community’s clubhouse has a fitness center with free weights and machines. Wellington is also close to public parks and recreation centers throughout Flower Mound. About 2 miles north, Bridlewood Golf Club offers several types of membership, to enjoy its championship golf course, rated one of the best public courses in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex by Avid Golfer, and have access to its on-site pizzeria and Kid's Zone. At Grapevine Lake, 4 miles away, Twin Coves Park’s 243 acres include a campground, boat launch, and fishing pier. The park also connects to North Trail's 9 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. In addition, Flower Mound Parks and Recreation plans to develop over 13 acres into Trotter Park, located 2 miles from Wellington next to RockPointe Church Central Campus.

Learning pathways to Flower Mound High School

Fostering community between Wellington subdivisions

Folks in Wellington subdivisions mingle at events sponsored by the Wellington of Flower Mound Residential Association. The annual End-of-School Pizza Party organizes outdoor games and snacks while friendly neighbors dress as dinosaurs. The most impressive displays from the annual Holiday Lights Contest are splashed across the association website and in the community’s bi-annual newsletter, the Wellington Word. The Landscaping Committee holds “Yards of the Month” awards from April to October to encourage high standards of outdoor care and keeping. Free fitness “Boot Camps” and group exercise sessions, from yoga to water aerobics, are also available.

Southeast to Dallas, southwest to Fort Worth

Like most Texas suburbs, car travel is a part of daily life in Wellington for daily essentials and larger cities throughout the Metroplex. “There’s always traffic, but a lot of people in the neighborhood commute to Las Colinas, Dallas or Fort Worth,” Yocum says. Locals are about 35 miles from Fort Worth and 28 from Dallas, and they’re only 8.5 miles from the midpoint: Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. Getting to these epicenters or the office complexes in suburban Las Colinas means taking busy major thoroughfares like Texas Route 114, Interstate 35 and Interstate 635. As for medical care, residents are just 2 miles from Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Flower Mound.

Retail centers and eateries in “FloMo”

The Tom Thumb on Cross Timbers Road is the closest big-box grocery store to Wellington at the subdivision’s north end. BYOB is a major draw for the Palio’s Pizza Café next door, a staple of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex for the past two decades. 2 miles east is the busy intersection between Cross Timbers and Long Prairies Road, where cars filter into Kroger, Market Street, and Sprouts Fresh Market parking lots. The shopping center contains mostly chain restaurants, including mainstays like Texas Roadhouse, Crumbl and Sonic as well as North Texas deep cuts like Taco Ocho, which crafts tacos for both meat lovers and vegans. Long Prairie Road is the main drag to other shopping centers in FloMo near Grapevine Lake or northbound in Highland Park, with most dining, shopping and movie options within a 5-mile radius.

The "Meat Lovers" skillet is a signature dish at Berries and Batter Cafe near Wellington.
