A 318-home subdivision south of Walnut Grove High School cleared its first major hurdle when the Prosper Planning and Zoning Commission approved preliminary plans for Estates at Brookhollow on Tuesday, Aug. 4.

The 140-acre project will join the larger Brookhollow master-planned community, which already includes the Lakewood and Rutherford Creek neighborhoods, according to Community Impact. But commissioners attached a notable condition: developers must establish a standalone homeowners association for the new subdivision rather than folding it into the existing Lakewood HOA.

That requirement traces back to the commission's Tuesday, July 7, meeting, when Commissioner John Hamilton moved to table the plans over concerns about the HOA structure. Under Lakewood's bylaws, control of the association transfers from the developer to residents once all homes are built. Hamilton argued that annexing a new 318-lot subdivision could delay that handoff for current Lakewood homeowners.

The condition stuck.

Lakewood resident Thomas Vicario backed the independent HOA requirement at the Tuesday, Aug. 4, hearing, telling commissioners bluntly that existing homeowners want developer control to end.

"The community is frothing at the mouth to take the HOA from the developer for a number of reasons," Vicario said.

Lot mix and trails

Estates at Brookhollow will offer three lot sizes: 65 Type B-1 lots at a minimum of 12,000 square feet, 197 Type C lots at a minimum of 9,000 square feet and 56 Type D lots at a minimum of 7,000 square feet. The plan also includes 14 open-space lots.

Two 10-foot-wide hike-and-bike trails will run along Richland Boulevard and Wildcat Way, connecting the Wandering Creek subdivision to the north with the future Prosper ISD administration facility west of Lakewood Drive. That complex at 1061 Lakewood Drive, which includes an admin building, community center and pavilion, had a building permit under review as of early 2026, according to town development records. A separate Community Impact report from May 2025 pegged the project's cost at $122 million.

What's next

Estates at Brookhollow still needs final plat approval and Prosper Town Council review before construction can begin. No council hearing date has been announced. The broader Brookhollow area has been in active development for several years; the town's 2023 comprehensive plan listed a separate 149-lot Brookhollow West phase as shovel-ready.
