About Prosper

For most of it’s history, Prosper was a small rural town on Preston Road (SH 289) in North Texas about 6 mi (9.7 km) north of Frisco, but in recent years it has experienced a surge in real estate values and in influx of some of the state’s finest custom builders. In short, Prosper has prospered. Prosper maintains a spacious country feel, while developing into an upscale affluent suburb, with rolling terrain, many trees and large single-family-home lots. Prosper is growing rapidly in terms of new home building (single-family houses in the $300,000 to $4,000,000 + range). In addition to a longtime retail filling station, in 2004 Prosper saw its second and third retail establishments arrive: a Sonic restaurant, and an Exxon "On the Run" station. Since 2004, Prosper has added a Palios, CVS, Ernestos, Subway and many other establishments. In 2014, Expansion was announced for The Prosper Town Center. The Gates of Prosper is a luxury $500-million-dollar upscale retail development set to start construction in 2014. Prosper is clearly attracting a great deal of attention for its growth and ongoing commitment to preserving the quality of life in prosper.
