Star Trail, Prosper TX: Homes, Schools, Taxes and Builders

​

Star Trail is a master-planned community of roughly 800 to 900 acres in Prosper, Texas, on the Collin County side of town near the Dallas North Tollway and US-380. Developed by Blue Star Land, it was planned for more than 1,700 homes across a series of phases, with different lot widths clustered into sections connected by an internal ring road and miles of trails. Homes are zoned to Prosper ISD, and the community carries no MUD or PID assessments. Nitin Gupta, CRS, GRI, Broker Associate with Competitive Edge Realty, represents buyers and sellers in Star Trail and across Prosper. Call 469-269-6541 or contact Nitin to start with a conversation.

​

Does Star Trail have a MUD or PID?

No. Star Trail homes are sold without MUD or PID assessments, which matters when you compare it with newer communities along the US-380 and tollway corridors where those assessments are added to the tax bill for decades. Two homes at the same list price in two different communities can carry very different monthly payments once assessments are included. Confirm the taxing entities for the specific address, and read the MUD vs. PID guide to see what those assessments do to a payment.

​

What are the HOA dues, and what do they cover?

Star Trail has a single mandatory community association, billed quarterly, and recent listings have shown dues in the range of roughly $300 to $380 per quarter depending on the phase. Dues fund full use of the amenity centers, common area maintenance and management. Unlike communities with a second section-level association for yard or exterior maintenance, Star Trail homeowners maintain their own yards. Confirm the current amount and what it includes for the specific home, since associations adjust dues annually.

​

Which Prosper ISD schools serve Star Trail?

Star Trail is zoned to Prosper ISD, and recent listings in the community have shown Joyce Hall Elementary, Moseley Middle School and Prosper High School, with Hall Elementary located within walking distance of parts of the community. Prosper ISD serves more than 32,000 students and has opened new campuses nearly every year, including Walnut Grove High School in 2023 and Richland High School more recently, so attendance zones shift and a listing's school fields can lag behind the district. Confirm the assigned campuses for the specific address before you write an offer. Learn more about Prosper ISD schools and compare districts with the DFW school district ratings guide.

​

Amenities

Star Trail's amenity package centers on a five-acre amenity complex with resort-style pools, party pavilions, a large children's playground and lighted tennis and pickleball courts. The community also includes a clubhouse with party rooms and outdoor lounge areas, additional pools and pavilions in later phases, lakes and fountains, parks and greenbelts, and miles of walking and biking trails along tree-lined streets. Amenity access is funded by the quarterly HOA dues above.

​

Phases, lot sizes and builders

Star Trail is built in phases, and the phase and lot width shape price and resale as much as the floor plan does. Lots range from smaller garden-style homesites to wider lots with three-car garages and pool-sized yards, clustered so that each section has a consistent feel. Builders in the community have included Highland Homes, Britton Homes and Coventry Homes, with lineups changing as phases sell out. New-construction pricing in the most recent phases has started above $1 million, while earlier-phase resale homes list well below that. Confirm who is building, in which phase and on which lot widths before you tour. Compare builders in the DFW builder guides and the builder FAQ hub.

​

What do homes cost in Star Trail?

As of September 2026, resale homes in Star Trail have listed from roughly $575,000 for smaller single-story homes in the earlier phases to the mid $900,000s for larger homes on oversized lots, while new construction in current phases has started above $1.1 million. Price per square foot varies widely by phase, lot width, builder, orientation and whether the home has a pool, so a community average is not much help when you are comparing two specific homes. For a current read on a specific home, use the home value analysis or contact Nitin.

​

Buying new construction in Star Trail

The builder's sales representative in a Star Trail model home works for the builder, not for you. New construction means a builder contract rather than the standard Texas promulgated form, with the builder's own terms on deposits, timelines, change orders and delays, plus decisions on lot premiums and upgrades that affect what the home is worth later. Nitin represents buyers in builder communities across Prosper and reviews those terms before you sign. Read who represents you at a Texas model home and learn how new construction buyer representation works.

​

New construction or resale?

Both are available in Star Trail at the same time and compete with each other. Earlier-phase resale homes generally come with finished landscaping, window coverings, built-out backyards and in some cases a pool, at a lower entry price. New builds in current phases offer current design, warranty coverage and choice of lot, at today's pricing. The comparison that matters is total cost and timing rather than list price, and it shifts with what builders are offering in a given month.

​

Location and what is nearby

Star Trail sits near the Dallas North Tollway and US-380, with the tollway corridor giving access south to Frisco, Plano and Dallas. Retail, dining and grocery along 380 and Preston Road are minutes away, and PGA Frisco and the Gates of Prosper are a short drive. Because 380 traffic varies considerably by hour, drive your own commute before choosing a phase.

​

Comparing Star Trail with other Prosper communities

Buyers looking at Star Trail typically also consider Windsong Ranch and other Prosper and north corridor master-planned communities. The differences that matter are the amenity package, the tax and assessment structure, school assignment, lot widths and which builders are active. Star Trail and Windsong Ranch both avoid MUD and PID assessments, which sets them apart from many newer communities nearby, and they differ most in amenity style and location within Prosper. See top DFW master-planned communities and nearby Celina, Frisco and McKinney.

​

Selling a home in Star Trail

Sellers in Star Trail compete with builder inventory in the newer phases and with resale homes in nearby communities. Pricing works best against recent sales in the same phase and lot width rather than a community-wide average, and presentation matters when a buyer can tour a new model the same afternoon. See the seller marketing plan and seller services, or learn about landlord leasing services if you plan to rent the home out.
