Prosper 1Prosper is a city located in Collin and Denton counties, in the U.S. State of Texas. Home to over 17,000, Prosper technically is a part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Statistical Area, also known as the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, but its location is far north – north of Frisco – making it one of the outlying parts of the metro area. Prosper, however, is known for its affluence and recent, rapid growth; the average single-family home price in Prosper is over $400,000, alluding to the city’s – and its residents’ – overall wealth. The area that is now Prosper has been inhabited by settlers since the early 1840’s, but the town did not see incorporation until the early 20th century.

Auto Transport Tips to Prosper

Auto transportation to or from Prosper can be a bit challenging given where it is located in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, but there are generally auto shipping companies that can get your vehicle to or from Prosper proper. Being located within the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area helps the cause, as carriers can quickly get to and from a variety of different places, but at the end of the day carriers tend to prefer to stick to the interstate highways that go through major metro areas as opposed to state highways, which is the only way to get into or out of Prosper.

If you’re shipping on a budget or you’re pressed for time, a good alternative would be to ship to another area that is more easily accessible for auto shipping companies. Areas such as Fort Worth and Dallas proper are always good, but there are quite a few smaller cities in the Metroplex that you could likely ship a vehicle to or from. You’ll want to discuss your options with an auto transport professional, as they’ll likely be able to tell you how much time or money you can save by switching your pickup or delivery point to a more easily-accessible area.
