01Overview
Is Prosper, Texas a good place to live?
Prosper is one of North Texas’ most sought-after suburbs: newer homes in amenity-rich communities like Windsong Ranch, a growing Prosper ISD and a town tax rate held flat for three years. The trade-offs are price (the median home value is about $824,000, with few entry-level options) and a total tax rate near 1.9%, plus Tollway traffic toward Dallas.
Prosper began as two farming settlements, Rock Hill and Richland, which merged in 1902 when the Frisco railroad came through. The name came from a good crop year, and the town incorporated in 1914. Prosper ISD still honors that history: two of its newest high schools are named Rock Hill and Richland.
Today Prosper is a town of about 45,600 people (July 2025 Census estimate), up roughly 51% since 2020, with a projected buildout of about 72,000. It feels lower-density than its neighbors, with large lots, 61 miles of hike-and-bike trail and town events like the Hometown Harvest Fair and the Prosper Christmas Festival.
Most homes were built in the 2010s and 2020s, typically 3,000 to 4,600-plus square feet. New construction generally starts in the low-to-mid $700,000s, and custom homes around Gentle Creek Golf Club reach well into the millions.
Local tip from Shayla
Not every “Prosper ISD” home is in Prosper. Light Farms, Lilyana and parts of Mustang Lakes are in Celina but zoned to Prosper ISD, often with a different city tax rate and a MUD or PID. Compare total rates, not just the school district.
What locals love about Prosper
- Prosper ISD and its four high schools
- Windsong Ranch’s resident-only Crystal Lagoon
- 61 miles of trails and 27 town parks

04Market
Prosper real estate market
The Census Bureau’s 2024 American Community Survey puts Prosper’s median owner-occupied home value at about $823,700. Production-builder new construction generally starts in the low-to-mid $700,000s, and established luxury and golf-course streets run from the $700,000s into the millions.
Because so much of Prosper is less than 15 years old, resale homes compete with new builds on finishes and incentives. Well-kept homes on larger or treed lots in Whitley Place, Gentle Creek and Lakes of Prosper tend to stand out.

05Budget
Cost of living & property taxes in Prosper
The Town of Prosper kept its rate at $0.505 per $100 for FY2026–27, the third straight year without a change, and Prosper ISD lowered its rate to $1.2011. On the Collin County side the total is about $1.94 per $100 before exemptions; the Denton County side and the Denton ISD area are a little lower.
Most established in-town neighborhoods, including Whitley Place and Lakes of Prosper, are marketed without MUD or PID taxes, but status can vary by section.
| Taxing unit | Rate per $100 of value |
|---|---|
| Town of Prosper (FY2026–27) | $0.505000 |
| Prosper ISD (2026) | $1.201100 |
| Collin County (2026) | $0.151414 |
| Collin College | $0.081220 |
| Typical total (Collin side) | ≈ $1.94 |
At about 1.94% before exemptions, an $824,000 home would owe roughly $16,000 a year. A homestead exemption lowers the school portion.
Ask about MUDs & PIDs
Several Prosper-ISD neighborhoods just outside town limits are MUDs or PIDs. Inside the town they are uncommon, but always check the specific tax record before you compare homes.
Utilities
| Service | Provider |
|---|---|
| Water, sewer & trash | Town of Prosper (Artesia is served by the City of Celina) |
