Spacious neighborhood with impressive schools near Grapevine Lake
Just north of Grapevine Lake in Flower Mound lies the neighborhood of River Oaks, known for its large, upscale homes set on spacious lots. “It’s heavily wooded, and Flower Mound has a tree ordinance where you can’t take down a tree without a permit,” says Jan Dunson, a Realtor with RE/MAX DFW Associates and a longtime resident of Flower Mound. “It’s a beautiful, 1-acre minimum community.” Custom-built estates are tucked behind sprawling, tree-covered front yards that provide residents with plenty of privacy. Highly rated Lewisville Independent Schools and access to hiking and biking trails at nearby parks add to the neighborhood's appeal, as does its proximity to several golf courses and all the activities in the town of Flower Mound.
Custom-built new-traditional homes on 1-acre lots
Luxurious estates set on 1 to 2 acres line the streets of River Oaks; houses measure 4,000 to 6,500 square feet with four to six bedrooms and nearly all have backyard pools. “Every home is a luxury custom home boasting its own unique style,” says Christy Arnold, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty and a longtime resident of Flower Mound. Homes move quickly, she notes, with only a few on the market at any given time despite price tags between $1.3 million and $1.7 million. Residents also pay an HOA fee that covers ground maintenance. There are no sidewalks but streets are wide enough for strolling.
