Things that make Prosper unique

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a real estate agent who relocated here from Phoenix about 12 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and work.

Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Nice parks and green spaces

Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Limited shopping options

Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are developing, gas is decent.

Socially, I genuinely enjoy living here. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
