If you think Prosper and Celina were already growing fast — hold onto your cowboy hat. The bulldozers are busy, the city councils are voting, and yes, even more houses (and trails, pools, and dog parks) are on the way. Here’s a look at six of the latest updates shaping the future of these two booming towns.
Prosper Updates
1. Gates of Prosper Gets Even Bigger
The Prosper Town Council just approved an amended plan for the Gates of Prosper development. Add 600 apartments and 150 single-family homes to the mix. Not everyone was excited — two council members voted no, worried about apartment quality and crowding. Still, the plan passed, but with rules like: no more than 37% of apartments can be two-bedroom. (Translation: plenty of one-bedroom units for your cousin who just moved out of mom’s house.)
2. Prosper Oaks Development Still Waiting
A 374-acre housing project called Prosper Oaks is still on hold. Council pressed pause on a zoning change after the Planning and Zoning Commission said the lots were too small and too crowded. The plan? About 800 homes, including a section for 55-and-older residents. (So, if you want quiet neighbors who go to bed early, this might be your spot.)
3. Mirabella Community Breaks Ground
On Sept. 3, construction began for Mirabella, a 190-acre gated community. Expect 290 homes, parks, and hike-and-bike trails. Sales should open in 2026. Yes, that’s a long wait, but hey — Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither are Texas subdivisions.
Celina Updates
4. The Heights at Uptown Is Open
Good news: The Heights at Uptown is now open! This neighborhood is part of the big Uptown development, which will eventually have 400+ homes, plus an amenity center, pool, trails, and even neighborhood shops and restaurants. (So you can swim, walk the dog, and grab tacos all in one day. Efficiency at its finest.)
5. More Homes Coming to Uptown
Celina City Council approved an annexation and zoning request to add 125 more homes to Uptown, this time in The Glen section. Built by Perry Homes, this expansion adds to the already massive Uptown plan, which also includes 1,000+ homes at The Ranch at Uptown. If Uptown were a Netflix series, it would already be renewed for 10 more seasons.
6. Legacy Branch: 320 Homes + Dog Park
Last but not least, Celina gave the green light to Legacy Branch, a 91-acre neighborhood with 320 single-family homes. The plan includes trails, fire pits, grills, and — very important — a dog park. Finally, your pup can make new friends too (probably faster than you will).
Final Thoughts
Prosper and Celina are not just growing — they’re multiplying like rabbits on energy drinks. More homes, more parks, more places to shop, eat, and live. Whether you’re a family, a retiree, or someone who just really wants a dog park, these updates show the future here is big, bright, and full of construction dust.
So, if you’re thinking about moving, just remember: by 2026, you might be grilling at Legacy Branch, swimming at Uptown, or biking in Mirabella. The only hard part? Deciding which neighborhood gets your vote.
