Welcome to Prosper
A booming suburban town steeped in local charm
Deemed the “New Frisco,” Prosper is a family-friendly, suburban town North of Dallas. It’s grown significantly in the past few years and is a thriving community that has also managed to maintain its small-town charm as it reaches new heights.
For many years, Prosper was just a farm town stop on the railroad between Dallas and Sherman and was named Prosper after a year of good crops. But throughout the years, it has grown in more than just agriculture and is now home to a booming economy.
Many homes have charm and history, but the high growth rate of the area has also brought in many larger new constructions. Prosper also has a handful of incredible master-planned communities with resort-style amenities and beautiful single-family homes.
