Why StarView — and Why Prosper?
Prosper has become a top destination for families and professionals relocating to the North Dallas suburbs. What sets StarView apart is that it’s a boutique community — not a sprawling master plan — with just 176 home sites shared among three select builders. The development falls under Blue Star Land, the Jerry Jones-backed group, so the level of oversight and design expectation is high.
Location matters: StarView sits right off Preston Road, across from the gates of Prosper, offering quick access to the Dallas North Tollway, easy commutes to the airport or downtown, and proximity to the PGA of America in Frisco. Combine that with Prosper ISD’s reputation and property taxes under 2% (1.99% in this community), and you can see why luxury new construction homes in Prosper, Texas are drawing attention.

Overview: The Builder — Highland Homes
Highland Homes is the builder behind the model I toured — the Palermo plan. Highland is one of my favorite builders in the area because they balance scale and detail well. Their recent re-engineering of floor plans, driven by buyer feedback and design-team iterations, led to features like additional upper and side windows to dramatically increase natural light. That kind of iterative approach is what you should expect when shopping luxury new construction homes in Prosper, Texas.
Quick Facts: Palermo Floor Plan at a Glance
- Base plan: ~4,128 sq ft (two-story)
- Typical layout: 4 beds / 4.5 baths, entertainment spaces, study, game room
- Model variant seen: 5 beds / 5 baths with extended master bump-out and oversized covered patio
- Move-in ready example: ~4,475 sq ft, three-car garage
- Base price (as presented): $1,250,990 — move-in ready asking around $1,450,000 (prices fluctuate)
Those figures give you a real-world baseline for luxury new construction homes in Prosper, Texas. Keep in mind the model we toured is highly-optioned — sliding glass doors, pool bath, master suite extension, and a host of designer finishes — which is why the model's final asking price is well above base.
Inside the Home: A Full Tour
From the street, the first thing you notice is the generous 74-foot lot — a rare find in North Dallas new construction. Inside, the foyer opens into a two-story space with a sweeping curved staircase and rotunda. The tray ceiling detail upstairs and the solid-core 8-foot doors on the main level communicate an immediate sense of scale and quality.
I always start my tours at the home office because hybrid and remote work means office space is non-negotiable for many buyers. Highland’s custom built-ins, light wood tone shelving, glass display shelves with puck LEDs, and wallpaper feature wall show that the builder is targeting the luxury buyer who expects both function and style.
Down the front hallway is a private guest suite. This isn’t a tiny powder-adjacent bedroom — it’s a full suite with a seamless glass shower, tile to the ceiling, and a substantial walk-in closet. Builders often sacrifice a private guest bath to create a powder bath in a better spot, but Highland kept this guest suite private while still providing a dedicated powder bath near the entertainment areas.
Main Level Entertainment: Media Room, Family Room & Kitchen
Highland assumes you want your entertainment spaces where life happens — on the main level — and this plan delivers. The media room is large, acoustically ready with recessed speakers, and finished with flat non-textured walls that give a polished, modern look.
But if you want the “wow” moment, wait until you see the family room. Floor-to-ceiling tile surrounding an oversized linear fireplace, exposed wood beams across a two-story ceiling, and three massive chandeliers create an immediate dramatic effect. This is exactly the sort of centerpiece you expect in luxury new construction homes in Prosper, Texas.
The kitchen is an entertainer’s dream. A 12-foot island (you read that right) anchors the space and serves multiple zones — cooking, prep, casual dining, and serving. You’ll find a six-burner cooktop centered with embellished vent hood, double ovens, custom cabinetry to the ceiling with glass inserts and LED interior lighting, and a dedicated workstation nook.
Notable practical decisions include the mud bench at the garage entry, a pantry with deep shelving, and a utility room that includes a sink and space for a second refrigerator — a conditioned, interior location for extra refrigeration that many owners prefer over garage-only units.
Outdoor Living: Oversized Covered Patio & Pool Potential
One of the reasons buyers flock to luxury new construction homes in Prosper, Texas is the ability to live outside. This plan’s oversized covered patio has two-story ceilings and is designed to be an extension of the interior. Three double sliding glass doors connect the interior living areas to the patio, making indoor-outdoor entertaining seamless.
Because the lot is 74 feet wide, there’s plenty of room for a pool without sacrificing yard space. Highland even pre-planned for future pools by including a pool bath accessible from the patio — a smart move that keeps guests from tracking through the house and simplifies poolside changing and cleanup.
Upstairs: Game Room, Bedrooms & Thoughtful Layout
Upstairs is not an afterthought. Highland pushed the ceilings up in the game area to create volume and avoid the cramped feel common in secondary floors. The central entertainment space is flanked by bedrooms situated in each corner, giving each room privacy and a feeling of separation.
Each secondary bedroom is an ensuite with a full bath and walk-in closet. The finishes are consistent — tile to the ceiling in showers, frameless glass, and luxury hardware in brushed champagne gold. There’s also a convenient powder bath on the upstairs level for guests using the game room, reducing the need to use a bedroom bath.
Primary Suite — What Makes It Exceptional
Now let’s get to the primary suite — arguably the most important room for many buyers. Highland’s design includes a boxed-out bay area that adds roughly five feet of additional space and five windows. That small decision changes the room’s feel from “typical master” to a luxurious private retreat with room for swivel chairs or a chaise lounge.
The primary bathroom showcases a standalone soaking tub, a double-sided shower configuration with two shower heads and body sprays, a full-width stone knee wall, and top-tier shower fixtures. A recessed makeup vanity area is included — one of those design elements I consistently hear buyers request.
Storage in the primary closet is generous and intelligently organized. The closet includes three levels of hanging, full-extension drawers in a center dresser, multiple cubbies, and space for long garments. This is builder-provided closet organization — not a third-party custom closet — which speaks to Highland’s attention to the storage needs of luxury buyers.
Community Details: Taxes, HOA & Amenities
StarView prioritizes large home sites and luxury homes over community amenities. That decision keeps HOA dues modest ($500 per quarter), and there are no high-cost amenity maintenance fees — most homeowners plan their own pools and backyards. The community has no MUD or PID, which often means lower long-term assessments and fewer infrastructure fees. Combined property tax in the neighborhood is under 2% (1.99% listed), and the recent increase in homestead exemption in Texas (from $100k to $140k) offers further tax relief for primary residences.
Where Luxury Meets Practical: Schools and Commute
StarView is inside Prosper ISD — a major draw for families relocating to the area. While I can’t steer you toward specific schools, independent research on sites like GreatSchools.org and Niche.com will confirm Prosper ISD’s strong reputation. Commuting is also feasible: you’re 45 minutes or less to downtown Dallas and airports in most traffic scenarios, and only about 10 minutes from Frisco’s major developments and the PGA of America center.
No BS Pricing: What to Expect
Pricing changes frequently, but here’s the honest breakdown I use when advising buyers of luxury new construction homes in Prosper, Texas:
- Base Palermo (4,128 sq ft, 4 beds/4.5 baths): Base price approximately $1,250,990 — this is the builder’s starting point without many of the designer upgrades.
- Move-in Ready Example: A 4,475 sq ft Palermo, optioned with a fifth bedroom and bath, extended covered patio, three sliding glass doors, and master bump-out is listed at $1,450,000 as the asking price.
- Final contract price: You’ll want an experienced agent (like me) to negotiate incentives, upgrades credits, and closing incentives — move-in homes often have flexibility that spec homes do not.
Because Highland is building a true model-quality move-in home in StarView, that complete product represents a practical example of what you can buy for your money. If you want to replicate the model on a clean lot, expect design-center selections, lot premiums, and upgrade costs that will increase your final price versus the base plan.
Tips for Buyers Considering Luxury New Construction Homes in Prosper, Texas
- Work with an agent who specializes in new construction and has builder relationships. That’s how you access true pricing, incentives, and move-in ready deals.
- Decide early which upgrades are must-haves (sliding glass doors, pool bath, additional garage space) and which you can add later. Some things are much cheaper to include during construction than retrofitting later.
- Think long-term: oversized lot and thoughtful covered patio footprints add lifestyle value and resale appeal.
- Confirm what’s included vs. model-only features (e.g., plantation shutters, certain lighting, window treatments are often model-only).
- Ask about infrastructure fees, tax rates, and homestead exemptions to forecast real carry costs.
