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, exceptional school district, 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 arguably the city's single greatest asset — a district of 35 campuses and 31,000+ students ranked in the top tier of Texas school districts. 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. Property taxes were reduced in 2024 to their lowest rate in nearly two decades, and the homestead exemption was raised to 17.5%.
