Wylie, TX | Featured Military Retirement Location

This week’s featured Military Retirement Location is Wylie, Texas! Wylie is a suburb of Dallas, and it sits toward the northern edge of the metro region. Wylie made our list thanks to its exceptionally low crime rate, number of high-quality hospitals, availability of VA facilities, and high number of medical, dental and mental health professionals.


If you like fishing, you’ll love Wylie. Originally a rural farming community, Wylie is now a small town of public open spaces. Over a half-dozen parks dot the community, with a major lake on both the north and south end. To the north, there’s the 21,000 acre Lake Lavon.
