Are you planning a move to the Dallas-Fort Worth area?  Are you trying to find the right blend of small town feel with big city amenities?  Do you want a highly-desired school district?  Would having two lakes nearby be ideal?

If these sound like your ideal lifestyle - then Wide Awake Wylie needs to be at the top of your list!  (People nicknamed Wylie as "Wide Awake Wylie" in the 1890s when   stores stayed open late to accommodate this bustling railroad town)

People always comment on the friendliness of the people in Wylie Texas. It's a place where people know their neighbors, and are ready to help when needed. This community strives to make residents feel welcome.

LIVING IN WYLIE TEXAS 

Lake Ray Hubbard provides recreation activities like sailing, paddleboarding, water skiing, and all manner of boating fun.  Lake Lavon is a haven for fishing and spending a relaxing day on the water. Wylie Texas sits right between these 2 large lakes.  Equestrian trails and acreage homesites allow Wylie residents to enjoy spending time outdoors as well.

Kids in Wylie Texas have some of the best education opportunities too. Wylie High School Pirates have been shouting AHMO for decades.  The origin of the slogan has mixed stories, but the meaning the kids find in AHMO is about being stronger together.  With the building of Wylie East High School, the Raiders present a friendly school rivalry to the Pirates and the whole town participates.

Melissa Hailey Love how you captured the charm of Wylie — small-town feel with lake living and access to DFW is such a strong combination. Thanks for sharing.
