Wylie, TX Achieving Community Greatness!

Wylie, TX - My Home

I moved to Wylie fourteen months ago and felt as if I had returned home. Growing up, I have lived in mainly smaller communities with the exception of Lubbock, TX so the prospect of moving to a suburban community appealed to me. I really had no idea that I would fall in love immediately with the general population and folks that comprise Wylie.

Real Estate

The Real Estate market in Wylie is still strong and there is value from Wylie ISD to the convenience of outdoors activities. As a resident you have quick access to Lake Lavon, Lake Ray Hubbard as well as many other parks and recreation areas that are our little secrets.

From Seis Lagos to Birmingham Farms, there is a host of subdivisions that will meet every type of home buyer's tastes and price range. It is hard not to find exactly what you are looking for in a home in Wylie - the variety of builders has made Wylie a great place to call home!

I have come to realize that our tax rates are lower than other equitable communities and the Mayor has stated that he wants a decrease to be considered in the near future (source: Wylie News @ www.wylienews.com - 2/26/08). The value of the school systems, convenience of bus service and quality of teachers all played a part in my decision to move to Wylie.

Future Development

Upcoming projects include a New Library (40,000+ sq ft), Recreation Center (40,000+ sq ft) and a New City Hall with final planning still in the works by the City Council. The picture below was taken from www.WylieTexas.gov (with permission, great site for complete and up to date information on All Things Wylie!!!) which shows a picture of Downtown during the early years.

A full record of the City History can be found on www.WylieTexas.gov along with other great links for New Residents, City Events and Chamber Members.

I am so excited to see Wylie, a once sleepy little town, blossom into a flower of Collin County and look forward to taking part in the success of one of the fastest growing communities in the DFW Metroplex.
