Discover Why Mustang Lakes Is the Best Place to Raise a Family in Texas

Imagine raising your family in a community where kids can walk to award-winning schools, neighbors become friends, and weekends are filled with bike rides, lake strolls, and backyard barbecues. A place where your children can safely explore, grow, and thrive and you can, too.

That’s life at Mustang Lakes, the best place to raise a family in Texas!

A Community Designed for Families

Mustang Lakes isn’t just another neighborhood; it’s an artfully planned community designed to bring families together. Set among mature trees and beautiful lakes, Mustang Lakes offers scenic views, walkable streets, and an abundance of parks and open spaces that make family life feel effortless and fun.

The centerpiece of the community is The Club at Mustang Lakes, a 12,000-square-foot amenity center that rivals any country club. Families can spend summer days at the resort-style pool, splash pad, and cabanas, or get active together at the state-of-the-art fitness center, tennis courts, and basketball courts. Miles of hiking and biking trails weave throughout the community, connecting families to lakes, playgrounds, and pocket parks at every turn.

“There’s just so much for them to do. And aside from the park and the pool, there are kids out all day, every day,” Mustang Lakes homeowner Melissa said. “It’s just a really good community. Our kids just feel safe being out on the streets and riding their bike to the park, which is a plus.”

Top-Rated Schools, Right Next Door

For families, education is everything and Mustang Lakes delivers. The community is proudly served by two top-rated school districts in Texas: Prosper Independent School District and Celina Independent School District.

Children zoned in Prosper ISD attend Sam Johnson Elementary, located right within the community, and continue to Reynolds Middle School and Prosper High School, both known for their exceptional academics, athletics, and extracurricular programs. Students zoned in Celina ISD attend the brand-new Margie Vasquez Elementary, Jerry & Linda Moore Middle School, and Celina High School. A new Celina ISD elementary school is also planned on the northern side of our community.

Having schools nearby not only saves time, it strengthens the sense of community as families share the same milestones, from first days of kindergarten to Friday night lights.

Connection Through Community

What truly makes Mustang Lakes one of the best family communities in Texas is the people who call it home. Regular community events, from pool parties and movie nights to seasonal festivals and food truck gatherings, make it easy for families to meet and connect.

Whether you’re joining a neighborhood club, volunteering together, or simply chatting on evening walks, the community spirit here is unmistakable.

“The great thing about the amenities is no matter what your interests are, there’s something at least once a month that you can come and meet your neighbors,” said Hillary, Mustang Lakes homeowner. “In so many communities, it’s just like you move in and you might know the person next to you, but you don’t know the entire community. And I think that’s one of the things that makes Mustang Lakes really unique and special.”

Nature, Play, and Everyday Adventure

Children at Mustang Lakes don’t have to go far to find adventure. The community features over 60 acres dedicated to open areas for residents to enjoy fishing, hiking and biking along the extensive trail system, as well as seven lakes.

The large playground offers little ones a close place to play nearby, while parents enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a safe, family-focused environment.
