Light Farms
A Celina-address master-plan zoned to Prosper ISD, with an on-site elementary school and trails
Light Farms is a roughly 2,000-acre master-planned community with an on-site elementary school, an amenity village and an extensive trail network. The detail that matters most here is jurisdictional rather than scenic: the community sits inside Celina city limits while most of it is zoned to Prosper ISD, so the city that taxes the house and the district that educates the children are two different governments. Buyers routinely read the Prosper ISD assignment as a Prosper address, and it is not one.
Price Range
Broadly $500K to $950K across phases and builders. Phases differ enough that a single band is only a starting point; ask for closed comps in the specific phase, with an as-of month.

Taxes, dues and districts
This is the line item to check before you write an offer. Light Farms sits in Celina city limits, so the city portion of the bill is Celina's, not Prosper's, and Celina adopts no city homestead exemption - the percentage discount some neighbouring cities apply to the city line does not exist here. The school portion follows Prosper ISD for most of the community. Collin County also contains a large number of MUDs and municipal management districts whose assessments are levied on top of the ad valorem rate and are not reduced by a homestead exemption, so confirm the exact taxing units for the specific lot with the Collin Central Appraisal District rather than working from a neighbour's bill or a listing-page estimate.
Check these before you offer
The trade-offs a listing will not mention. None of these are reasons not to buy here; they are the things worth pricing in.
- The city and the school district are different governments. A Prosper ISD assignment does not make this a Prosper address, and the tax bill follows Celina.
- Phases vary in builder, lot size and dues, and some northern sections fall in Celina ISD rather than Prosper ISD, so the community's headline school assignment is not universal within it.
- It is a commute-out location. The employment centers in Plano and Frisco are a real drive, and the tollway corridor north of Frisco is still filling in.
- Any MUD or management district assessment sits on top of the ad valorem rate and is not reduced by a homestead exemption.
