Monthly cost

The difference: $80 a month, about $900 a year, between Flower Mound and Argyle.

Estimates, not a quote: your price, rate, tax bill and insurance will differ. Tax rate = the Census median tax bill over the median home value; “+” means the Census top-codes that town’s bill at $10,000, so its real rate is higher.
