Windsong Ranch, Prosper TX: Homes, Schools, Taxes and Builders

​

Windsong Ranch is a master-planned community of roughly 2,000 acres in Prosper, Texas, developed by Terra Verde Group on the Denton County side of town, north of US-380 and west of the Dallas North Tollway. It is best known for The Lagoon, a five-acre Crystal Lagoons amenity with white sand beaches, and it is zoned to Prosper ISD. Homes range from low-maintenance villas and townhomes to large single-family and custom homes across a dozen sections, each with its own builders and lot sizes. Nitin Gupta, CRS, GRI, Broker Associate with Competitive Edge Realty, represents buyers and sellers in Windsong Ranch and across Prosper. Call 469-269-6541 or contact Nitin to start with a conversation.

​

Does Windsong Ranch have a MUD or PID?

No. Windsong Ranch homes are marketed and sold without MUD or PID assessments, which sets the community apart from many newer master-planned communities along the US-380 and Dallas North Tollway corridors, where those assessments add to the tax bill for decades. Buyers comparing Windsong Ranch with those communities should compare the full tax rate and any assessments side by side rather than list price alone, and should still confirm the taxing entities for the specific address. Read the MUD vs. PID guide to understand what those assessments do to a monthly payment.

​

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

Windsong Ranch has a community association that funds the amenity package: The Lagoon, pools, the fitness center, the café, trails, sports courts, parks and the events calendar. Single-family homes pay that community assessment on a regular billing cycle set by the association. Homes in the villa and townhome sections pay a second, separate section assessment on top of it, which covers front yard landscaping, irrigation, exterior building maintenance and, depending on the section, exterior insurance, so owners there carry interior coverage rather than a full roof-to-foundation policy. That structure is why two Windsong Ranch homes at similar prices can have very different monthly HOA costs. Confirm both assessments, and what each covers, for the specific home before you make an offer.

​

Which Prosper ISD schools serve Windsong Ranch?

Assignment depends on which part of the community a home sits in, not on the Windsong Ranch name. Homes in the earlier phases have generally fed Windsong Ranch Elementary, William Rushing Middle School and Prosper High School. Homes in newer northern phases have generally fed Mrs. Jerry Bryant Elementary, Moseley Middle School and Richland High School. Prosper ISD serves more than 32,000 students and has opened new campuses nearly every year, including Walnut Grove High School in 2023, so zones shift and a listing's school fields can be out of date. Confirm the assigned campuses for the specific address with the district before you write an offer. Learn more about Prosper ISD schools and compare districts with the DFW school district ratings guide.

​

The Lagoon and the amenity package

The Lagoon is a five-acre crystal-clear lagoon with white sand beaches, open to residents for swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking. Around it, The Commons includes a café, a fitness center, a resort-style pool and a children's splash park. The wider community includes more than 30 miles of trails, an 18-hole disc golf course, a community garden, sports courts, a dog park and several hundred acres of parks, lakes and open space. Additional amenities have been announced, including an event space with an amphitheater and a racquet sports club. Amenity access is tied to the HOA assessments above, and guest rules are set by the association.

​

Sections and builders

Windsong Ranch is not one product type. It is a set of sections with different lot widths, price points and builders, and the section you choose shapes resale as much as the floor plan does. Sections have included Anthem, Cadence, Crosswater, Lakeside, The Landing, The Peninsula and the villas and townhomes section. Builders active in the community over time have included American Legend Homes, Drees Custom Homes, Highland Homes, Darling Homes, Britton Homes, Chesmar Homes, Huntington Homes, Toll Brothers, Normandy Homes and Grenadier Homes. Builder lineups change as sections sell out, so confirm who is selling, in which section and on what lot sizes before you tour. Compare builders in the DFW builder guides and the builder FAQ hub.

​

What do homes cost in Windsong Ranch?

As of September 2026, resale townhomes and villas have listed from the high $400,000s, while most single-family homes list from roughly the mid $700,000s into seven figures, with custom and lagoon-adjacent homes above that. Price per square foot varies widely by section, lot width, builder and view, so a single community average is not much use 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 Windsong Ranch

The builder's sales representative in a Windsong Ranch 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 terms on deposits, timelines, change orders and delays, and it means 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 Windsong Ranch at the same time, and they compete with each other. A resale home in an established section typically comes with finished landscaping, window coverings, a pool in some cases, and a known school assignment, while a new build offers current design, warranty coverage and choice of lot. The comparison that matters is total cost and timing, not sticker price, and it changes with what each builder is offering in a given month.

​

Location and what is nearby

Windsong Ranch sits along US-380 west of the Dallas North Tollway, with retail at the community's entry including a Kroger Marketplace and other neighborhood shopping and dining. PGA Frisco, the Gates of Prosper, and employment along the tollway corridor are all a short drive. Commutes south to Frisco, Plano and Dallas run on the tollway or Preston Road, and US-380 traffic is worth driving at your own commute hours before choosing a section.

​

Comparing Windsong Ranch with other Prosper communities

Buyers looking at Windsong Ranch usually compare it with other Prosper and north corridor master-planned communities, where the amenity package, the tax and assessment structure, the school assignment and the builder lineup all differ. The absence of MUD and PID assessments is a genuine point of difference and shows up in the monthly payment. See top DFW master-planned communities, the Prosper community guide, and nearby Celina, Frisco and McKinney.

​

Selling a home in Windsong Ranch

Sellers here compete with builder inventory inside the same community and with newer communities nearby. Pricing works best against recent sales in the same section and lot width rather than a community-wide average, and presentation matters when a buyer can tour a brand-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.

Windsong Ranch FAQs

Is Windsong Ranch in Collin County or Denton County?

Windsong Ranch is on the Denton County side of Prosper. Prosper spans both counties, so the county, appraisal district and tax rate depend on the address.

Does Windsong Ranch have MUD or PID taxes?

No. Homes in Windsong Ranch are sold without MUD or PID assessments, unlike many newer communities nearby. Confirm the taxing entities for the specific address, and compare the full tax picture when weighing Windsong Ranch against a community that does carry them.

What schools serve Windsong Ranch?

Prosper ISD, with campuses varying by section. Earlier phases have generally fed Windsong Ranch Elementary, William Rushing Middle and Prosper High, and newer northern phases have generally fed Bryant Elementary, Moseley Middle and Richland High. Confirm the assignment for the specific address, since the district opens new campuses frequently.

How big is the lagoon at Windsong Ranch?

The Lagoon is a five-acre Crystal Lagoons amenity with white sand beaches, open to residents for swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking, with a café, fitness center, resort-style pool and splash park nearby at The Commons.

Why do HOA dues differ between Windsong Ranch homes?

Single-family homes pay the community assessment that funds the amenities. Villa and townhome sections pay an additional section assessment covering yard and exterior maintenance, so their total monthly HOA cost is higher. Confirm both for the specific home.

Do I need my own agent to buy new construction in Windsong Ranch?

You are not required to have one, but the builder's sales representative works for the builder. A buyer's agent reviews the builder contract, compares sections and lot premiums with resale in mind, and confirms schools and taxes for the address.
