Firewheel flowers found on its golf course

It’s no wonder Firewheel’s namesake is that of a flower – its quiet suburbs are planted between swaths of green space and lakefront views, tied together by Rowlett Creek. Development began in the late 1990s around Firewheel Golf Park and Breckinridge Park and quickly evolved into the golfing community it is today. “It’s a highly sought out community for many reasons. It’s very established with mature trees and very family-oriented,” says Paula Clark, a Realtor with the Shelly Seltzer Team at Ebby Halliday. “It’s just a great little neighborhood. It’s very safe, and people are always walking around.” While locals have everything they might need along President George Bush Highway, this same major highway runs through its lower leg, providing quick access to both Plano and Garland cities and their myriad of shopping outlets with a diverse selection of eateries and bars.

From small one-story homes to sprawling Firewheel estates

Firewheel has several subdivisions, all built around the golf course or Breckinridge Park. Home sizes and styles vary between modest, established homes and sprawling Millennial mansions. Some sit on small plots of land while others showcase yards large enough for backyard pools and tennis courts. Newer homes incorporate farmhouse features like turret windows, inviting front porches and exposed beams, listed anywhere from $630,000 to $800,000. A price tag between $450,000 and $550,000 will often secure an older home with three or four bedrooms, while larger plots soar upwards of $1 million.

Tied together by Rowlett Creek

Firewheel Golf Park consists of the Old Course, the Lakes Course and the Bridges Course. The Bridges Course is the newest, full of rolling hills and large oak trees throughout its 27 holes. Rowlett Creek and Spring Creek flow past the neighborhood, offering water challenges for golfers. One Eleven Ranch Park rests at the golf course’s eastern edge. This 29-acre city park has a large natural area with a creek, mature trees and the largest picnic shelter in any Garland city park. It also has a recently renovated playground with colorful slides and climbing structures for children to enjoy.

Two unique mascots at Luna Elementary School

“The Garland Independent School District is another reason people look to move towards Firewheel,” says Kathy Spillyards, a Broker at Integrity Plus Real Estate. Luna Elementary School receives an A from Niche. The school offers a Montessori Magnet program and two unique mascots: a pair of chickens – Margaret and Amelia – that classes take care of in turns. Students may then attend Webb Middle School and Naaman Forest High School, earning a B-minus and B Niche grade, respectively. The University of Texas at Dallas is roughly 9 miles away.
