Flower Mound resident survey shows residents want a downtown, improved transportation

Flower Mound’s 2025 Resident Survey, which was open from June to July, showed residents are looking for improvements to transportation around town, a prominent downtown commercial area and more opportunities to attend cultural, arts and musical events.

Overall, most residents believe the town is an excellent place to live, work and raise a family.

The overall quality of life in the town was 95% excellent or good. About 97% of residents also said they would likely recommend the town to others and 91% said they plan to continue living in the town.

According to the results, 99% of residents said they feel safe living in Flower Mound and visiting commercial areas during the day.

Flower Mound’s first responders were also praised by respondents. The police department was rated excellent or good by 92% of respondents, the fire department was rated excellent or good by 96% of respondents and emergency medical response was rated excellent or good by 94% of respondents.

An issue that respondents brought up in the survey was affordable quality housing, which only 34% of respondents believed was at an acceptable availability. According to the town, this reflects a national trend amid rising housing costs.
