Wylie is making the transition from a bedroom to a more balanced community, combining quality residential living with a healthy business climate. Wylie’s indus- trial/business corridor, created  through the Wylie Economic Development Coop- eration, is home to more than 800,000 square feet of facilities and an unemploy- ment rate of 5.5 percent. Wylie is one of only six Texas cities to receive an ISO 1 rating for its fire department and water delivery. Wylie also has one of the lowest crime rates in Collin County, and one of the lowest in Texas.

A school district with Recognized and Exemplary schools, plus plenty of outdoor amenities at nearby Lake Lavon have made Wylie a popular residential choice. The 38,000-acre Lake Lavon features several parks, picnic sites, boat ramps, beaches, and camping sites. The City has also preserved its historic downtown as a specialty and cultural area, which has attracted a variety of unique retail and eating establishments.
