Home On The Range In Wylie, TX 4 rating By Anonymous ( Aug 18, 2015) After living in Maine for my entire life, I moved to Wylie, TX about three years ago. It was one of the best moves I made. I miss the beautiful scenery, but the neighborhood I live in has friendly people and homes that are decades old. This is an area where you want to raise a fa ...Read More mily as there are many things to do, and there isn't a lot of trouble that I have seen.

One of the places I love to go is In-Sync Exotics. It's similar to a zoo, but there aren't as many animals. Most of the animals that are at this attraction are lions and tigers in need of care. I have seen beautiful tigers playing together as well as a memorial wall with the names of the animals that have died while at the center. Donations are welcomed as there is no admission fee. Although I don't have children, I have seen several children in attendance.

There are several golf courses in Wylie. The weather is ideal for playing golf, especially in the spring and fall, as it stays warm through the year. If you like to drink or enjoy a meal of steak and potatoes, then you will be at home in Wylie as the city has quite a few bars and grills. There are also a few wineries that I have seen in the area. Most of the jobs that are in Wylie pay well as many are businesses. There are also several farmers I have seen. They enjoy taking their produce to farmer's markets to sell what they grow. One of the negative aspects of the city is that there aren't a lot of shopping centers. Read Less
