Prosper

 

 

 

Prosper is a welcoming small town in Collin and Denton Counties conveniently located close to the Dallas North Tollway, Preston, and Hwy 380. The city prides itself on its friendly residents and community-oriented atmosphere. As their mottos say, Prosper is a small town with a big heart and a place where everyone matters. Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, is invested in the future and vision of Proper with his $1 billion, The Gates of Prosper, one of Collin County’s biggest retail destinations. Jones will soon add a new 40-acre Business Park off First Street. Prosper is one of the fastest-growing towns in Texas—between 2010 and 2019, the population increased from less than 10,000 to almost 25,000.

 

Prosper’s housing options include attractive single-family homes in a range of styles and affordability to luxury options including estates with gorgeous land. More than 88% of Prosper’s homes have been constructed within the past few decades. New developments such as Star Trail, Gentle Creek Estates, Whispering Farms, Whitley Place, and Windsong Ranch have fueled Prosper’s growth, offering residents spacious contemporary homes in exceptional communities with unbeatable amenities.
