About the Community
What is Aster Park?
Aster Park is a gated, master-planned community in northwest McKinney, Texas, with more than 1,100 planned homesites on roughly 414 acres.
The community sits north of FM 1461, west of Custer Road (FM 2478), with homes in ZIP 75071. It was launched by Hines in 2022, and in 2025 Starwood Land took over as developer. Homesites range from 40' to 70' wide, so you'll find everything from starter-friendly single-story plans to large executive homes on the same streets.
Buyers come here for three reasons: a gated community, Prosper ISD schools, and no MUD or PID tax, which is uncommon among new McKinney communities at this price point.

Base prices and sizes from builder websites, October 2026. Prices, plans, and availability change frequently. Ask for the current price sheet before you visit.
Incentives & Financing
Builder incentives are real. So is the fine print.
As of October 2026, Aster Park builders are advertising rate buydowns (as low as 4.99% fixed on select homes) and $10,000 to $25,000 in closing-cost or design credits. Most of it runs through the builder's own lender.
Compare the APR, not the teaser rate
A temporary buydown can show a low first-year rate while the APR tells a different story. I'll put the builder's Loan Estimate next to quotes from 280+ wholesale lenders.
Credits can go further than rate
The same incentive dollars can lower your price, cover closing costs, or buy down your rate. The right choice depends on how long you'll keep the loan.
Finished homes have the most room
Quick move-in homes the builder is carrying are where the deepest discounts usually show up.

Taxes & HOA
Aster Park property taxes and HOA dues

| City of McKinney | $0.4123 |
| Collin County | $0.1493 |
| Collin College | $0.0812 |
| Prosper ISD | $1.2141 |
| MUD / PID | None |
| Combined rate | ~$1.857 (1.86%) |
