Lantana might as well be Flower Mound.

---

Different school district

---

and apparently a massive water district tax for lantana residents

---

It isn't cheap, that's for sure, but it balances out (with no city taxes at all) and is fairly comparable tax-wise overall compared to FM or HV.

---

Plus you get to live with all the Latana people.

---

Is that good or bad?

---

Depends.

I live in Lantana and it is pretty nice. Just don't read the FB pages.

I do too and I agree. Don't have to read them when you don't do Facebook anymore. Unfortunately some of it has spilled over to the Nabr feed as well...

Live in Lantana. Lantana Life on FB is cancer. The 1% tax sucks but isn't awful. The real kicker is the .5% fee when you sell.

Cody helped us find our place in Bridlewood a couple of years ago and I also recommend him.

Flo-Mo is a fine place to raise kids - ours go to Marcus and we've been happy with the school for the most part. It definitely has a suburban feel to it. Fort Worth doesn't seem too far away, but we don't go into Dallas much. Frisco and South Lake are pretty close as well if you like higher end shopping and such and can't find what you want locally. Just north of town, you're into ranchette land, which makes for a nice commute. The roads are built for the final build-out of the area, but the people aren't here yet, so it feels roomy driving around.

We will probably be in touch with Cody next year to find a place a bit further out because I want to stay on the edge of the sprawl.

We've been in Bridlewood for about a year as well, and we love it. While our kids are still young, we are on the Downing MS and Marcus HS path. Can you offer any additional information, experiences, etc. with Downing and Marcus? Pros and cons, etc. Thanks!

Thanks so much! You know I'm always here to help when you need me!

Flower mound is ok.

Schools are good. Airport is close.

Bad things are that the planes fly over your head every 90 seconds, the restaurants suck, and it takes a long time to get anywhere as it takes 20 minutes just to get to a freeway.

The weirdest part is that I lived there for 2 years and never met one next door neighbor and only met the other one once. No one really leaves their house. Maybe it was just our street.

Our kids didn't go to a local middle school because we were out of state then. Marcus is a good school and we've been pleased with it.

Girl#2 is an AP student and there is a huge range of selections for her. She got her first AP class done as a freshman, which I understand is unusual. She only scored a 2 on AP Spanish this year, but I think that's because she was home half the semester because of COVID and I didn't ride her hard enough. There are all kinds of specialty classes such as theater and sculpture. Also lots of well-regarded extracurriculars like marching band etc. if you're into that sort of thing.

Boy#2 is autistic and in the Life Skills class. Marcus takes great care of those guys. The administration is one of the easiest to work with that I've encountered. Having two boys on the spectrum makes you appreciate that.

I have a colleague whose kids go to Dowling and he says it's great.

Cons are there are a bajillion kids at Marcus. It's a little cold feeling at times. Girl#2 often gets awards and they are interminable, and the traffic at pickup is a beast. But you're going to run into that at any 6A campus.

The freeways being 20 minutes away is a plus in my book.

Restaurants are ok, way better than they were 20 years ago.

This is a huge plus for me. I don't want or need to be close to any freeways.

Exactly. This is one of the reasons we chose FM.

Yep...however I commute South and I miss my 5-7 miles of trees North of Grapevine Mills. It's all been leveled in the last year. 12 year resident of FM...

I drive down 2499 past Lakeside about once a month. It's shocking every time I do it.

That's my daily commute and yes it's sad to see high density housing and tilt wall warehouses at the gateway to our great town.
