Prosper, TX Real Estate and Town Guide
Prosper is a town in western Collin County and eastern Denton County, north of Frisco. Settlers arrived in 1846, and the town was incorporated in 1914, named after a year of prosperous crops. Its Founders Fest, held each May, celebrates the town's history, people, and arts.
Population and Growth
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates Prosper's population at 45,605 as of July 1, 2025, up from 30,174 in the 2020 Census, an increase of about 51%.
Much of that growth is new construction. Our New Homes Map shows every community selling now in Prosper and across Collin County, the builders in each one, and this month’s builder incentives.
School Districts
Prosper ISD serves most of the town, and the Glenbrooke and Doe Creek subdivisions in far west Prosper are served by Denton ISD. District boundaries don't follow town limits, so always confirm the assigned district for a specific address directly with the district.
Prosper ISD has grown to more than 32,000 students and four high schools: Prosper, Rock Hill, Walnut Grove, and Richland.
Jobs and Getting Around
US 380 and Preston Road (State Highway 289) run through Prosper, and the Dallas North Tollway runs through western Prosper, connecting the town to Frisco, McKinney, Celina, and the Legacy business area in Plano.
Recent additions along the Dallas North Tollway include Children's Health Specialty Center Prosper, which opened in 2023 with pediatric specialists from Children's Health and UT Southwestern, and a 133,000-square-foot H-E-B with about 570 employees that opened in 2025.
Parks and Outdoors
Prosper has 634 acres of parks and open space and 61 miles of hike-and-bike trails.
Frontier Park
Prosper's main community park, at 79.7 acres, with the Windmill Playground, a splash pad, a catch-and-release pond, a rentable pavilion, and lighted fields for soccer, baseball, and softball.
Lakewood Park
A 22.8-acre park with a nature-themed playground, pickleball and basketball courts, soccer fields, and a cricket pitch.
Raymond Community Park
A new 70-acre park on East First Street with lighted tennis and pickleball courts, a playground, and a hike-and-bike trail, opening in phases as construction wraps up.
Property Taxes
Texas has no state income tax, which is one reason property tax rates here are higher than in many states. For a home inside the Town of Prosper and Prosper ISD, the 2026 combined rate for the town, school district, Collin County, and Collin College is about 1.94% of taxable value before exemptions, roughly $11,630 a year on a $600,000 home. Homes on the Denton County side, in another school district, or in a MUD or PID have different rates, so check the specific address. Our North Dallas relocation guide compares rates city by city.
