Wylie on the other hand is prime ... offering great homes at affordable, not blown up prices.

Wylie is  the hidden gem of the DFW Metro-Plex.  Not only is it closer to downtown, uptown and North Dallas, it also offers the best combination of cozy hometown feel & spacious new developments.   With one of the best School Districts (Wylie ISD) in the metroplex and gorgeous neighborhoods of brick and stone homes, like Braddock Place, more and more families are moving to the area.  The quick access afforded by both the Tollway and Hwy 78, as well as the organized City Planning, make it an easy place to live.

Few people just how many perks Wylie has to offer, from fishing and camping on Lake Lavon, to golf courses, rock climbing at the rec center, hiking the trails, celebrations held in the picturesque old town center, and so much more.  Let me show you around, meet some of your future neighbors and discover why Wylie is one of the best suburbs around!
