Named for one especially prosperous year of crops, Prosper stays true to its roots despite gaining traction as one of the fastest-growing cities in North Texas. The popularity is due in part to its central location that provides 25-minute trips to two major airports and a 35-mile commute to downtown Dallas. Living in Prosper is also an escape from the city to a place that focuses on family and prides itself on small-town ideals that make it a safe and pleasant place to call home. The Gates of Prosper supplies the city with ample dining and shopping opportunities within a few miles of home.
