Areas / Celina
Celina Real Estate
The fastest-growing city in the United States, and right now the single best place in North Texas to be a buyer. New-home sales are up 61% year over year, over half of listings are taking price cuts, and builders are negotiating on rate buydowns in a way they were not two years ago.
School districts
Who actually serves Celina
Celina ISD serves most of the city; Prosper ISD serves the southern portion. Boyer, Johnson, Light Farms and Lilyana elementaries are Prosper ISD schools located inside Celina.
What people get wrong here
Light Farms is Prosper ISD — except part of Sweetwater Phase II, which is Celina ISD. Inside one master-planned community. If schools drive your decision here, the phase and section matter as much as the city.
