Flower Mound is a picturesque suburb in Denton County named after a prominent 12-acre mound of wildflowers that has served as a local landmark for centuries.

The River Walk at Central Park provides a walkable shopping and dining destination, and the community offers over 50 parks and 50 miles of multi-use trails. The town's location along FM 2499 and Long Prairie Road provides access to DFW Airport, Grapevine, and Lewisville.
