About Prosper
Prosper is one of the DFW Metroplex's most aspirational addresses — a rapidly growing town positioned about 36 miles north of Dallas and directly north of Frisco. The community has attracted national attention as a best place to live, driven by its luxury master-planned communities and a small-town warmth that somehow persists even as the population races toward 50,000.
Buyers who choose Prosper typically arrive from markets like Frisco, Allen, or McKinney seeking larger lots, newer construction, and room for the town to grow around them. Communities like Windsong Ranch (with a crystal-clear resident lagoon), Star Trail (a 900-acre community built around 53 acres of parks), and Lakes of Legacy (featuring custom homes and lakefront views) deliver resort-quality amenities at prices that still compare favorably to Westlake or Southlake.
Prosper ISD is a district of 35 campuses and 31,000+ students. Two high schools — Prosper High and Rock Hill High (built at $200 million, the most expensive high school in Texas history at the time) — serve the community. In 2024 the town cut its property tax rate to $0.505 per $100, its lowest since FY 2006–07, and raised the homestead exemption to 17.5% (Community Impact, 2024).
