Celina is a great place to live and work with a busy, picturesque downtown, lots of wide open spaces, friendly people, and a fantastic quality of life.

With an attractive combination of small-town neighborliness and up-to-the-minute urban life, Celina is conveniently located between Preston Road and the Dallas North Tollway, just north of Prosper. It’s great location means it’s easy to get where you need to go within minutes.  And for those who enjoy the big city, it’s just 10 miles north of Frisco’s $5 Billion Mile (home of The Star and Frisco Station), Legacy Business Park, and Legacy West.

The city’s population in 2021 was 22,793 and it is projected to grow to 51,000 by 2026. With this growth, businesses are coming to town to provide new products and services for residents. Celina’s Economic Development Corporation is very business-friendly, offering incentives to companies that want to locate in Celina, so it’s no wonder business is booming.

New Celina Businesses Make for Convenient Shopping

This holiday season, why not give a thoughtful holiday housewarming gift they can use as they settle in to their new place?   Whether you need gift ideas for new homeowners or are putting together a wish list of your own, here are some great holiday housewarming gift ideas.

7 New Homeowner Holiday Gifts

If you’re looking for the best housewarming gift ideas this holiday season, here are a few great examples to get you started.

1. Holiday Decorations

Holiday decorations can make wonderful first-time homebuyer gifts.  If the new homeowner is putting up a full-sized Christmas tree for the first time, a lovely personalized ornament that commemorates the new home will become a special keepsake.  Even if this isn’t a first home, a larger house will need more holiday décor.  Themed pillows, metallic garlands, or illuminated table or wall décor are all welcome additions that add an elegant, festive touch to the new home.

2. Bartender Kit

The holidays are a time for gathering and for those who love mixing and serving drinks for family members and guests, a bartending kit makes a great new homeowner holiday gift. A quality cocktail set with a corkscrew, strainer, tongs, cocktail shaker, and more provides everything a new homeowner needs to mix delicious drinks just like they get at their favorite bar or restaurant.

3. Decorative Throws and Weighted Blankets

Who doesn’t love to curl up on the couch under a cozy, soft blanket while watching a movie or reading?  A gorgeous decorative throw makes an ideal holiday gift for the new homeowner, and you can even choose one with a winter or holiday motif.  There are many luxurious and affordable options that look beautiful casually draped over a chair when not in use.

A weighted blanket is another wonderful new homeowner holiday gift.  The pressure from these cozy blankets is calming for many people and research shows they may reduce anxiety and help with insomnia in some cases. Even without these benefits, a weighted blanket can be a welcome way to make a new space more comfortable for new homebuyers.

4. Wireless Grilling Equipment

Outdoor cooking is a fun way to enjoy a new home, and there are plenty of great gadgets out there that can make it a superb experience. Wireless grilling tools such as thermometers, precision cookers, and lighters can help make sure food is prepared to perfection, making them the ideal gift for barbecue enthusiasts.

5. Cordless Stick Vacuum

While they may not be exciting, useful gifts for new homeowners may be the most appreciated, when all is said and done.  While many people enjoy the process of vacuuming, the right tools can make it better for anyone. Cordless stick vacuums are convenient, easy to carry, and powerful, making the whole process of cleaning more palatable, if not thoroughly enjoyable!

6. Bidet Attachment

While it may seem like a gag item (and it might well be, depending on who you’re giving it to), a bidet attachment can be a great way to improve the quality of life for new homeowners. Bidets have been shown to be more hygienic and gentle than relying on toilet paper, and they’re easy to install too! What may start out as a joke may quickly become a valuable addition to a new home.

7. Sports Equipment

Finally, many new homeowners look forward to spending time outdoors, whether that’s in a spacious yard or within your new home community’s green spaces and parks. Sports equipment such as a portable badminton, pickleball or croquet set can make a good holiday housewarming gift for people who love to be active outside. They’re also excellent for getting a family out where they can meet neighbors and friends with similar interests.

Frequently Asked Questions about Housewarming Gifts

What’s a good gift to bring to a holiday housewarming?

Something festive always makes a good holiday housewarming gift.  This might be a bottle of the homeowner’s favorite spirit, or some holiday décor.  The first-time homeowner will appreciate anything they may never have needed while living in an apartment, such as a home tool kit, a gardening set, or a personalized name and/or address plaque to commemorate the purchase of the first home.

How much should I spend on a housewarming gift?

Great gifts come in all price ranges. Usually, $20 to $50 is a good rule of thumb, but at the end of the day, it’s more important for a gift to be useful or meaningful than to be merely expensive.

Is a gift card a good housewarming gift?

Often, housewarming gift lists and registries will include gift cards. A gift card can give new homeowners a lot of flexibility in how they furnish their new house, so it can be a good option if you’re at a loss for ideas or don’t know the recipient that well.

Is Fall 2022 Still A Good Time to Buy A Home? https://www.lilyanabyhillwood.com/2022/10/15/is-fall-2022-still-a-good-time-to-buy-a-home/ Sat, 15 Oct 2022 20:15:35 +0000 https://www.lilyanabyhillwood.com/?p=2255 Read More]]> So many of us are asking the same question right now: Should I buy a house now or wait until 2023? The short answer is, buy now! If you have the means, consider buying this fall.

The complicated answer is that this simple question depends on a number of factors around your family’s personal circumstances. However, on the whole, most experts and first-time homebuyers agree – it’s still a prime season for buying a home in Prosper, Celina, or Collin County.

Unlike some parts of the US, the DFW housing market is in a great place. The North Texas area is still in high demand, particularly because of its many new home communities.

Trying to decide whether to buy a house now or wait? Don’t wait too long and miss your opportunity. Consider these variables as you kick off your home search.

5 Reasons Why Now Is the Time to Buy A House

If you’re in a good financial position and your job is secure, it can be a great time to invest in a home. Ask any financial expert and they’ll tell you, owning a home or investing in real estate is the fastest route to building wealth.

Some reasons to buy a house now:

Credit score averages are on the rise.

Credit reporting agency, Experian, reports that, “The average credit score in the U.S. hit a record high of 714 in the third quarter of 2021, a 4-point increase from 2020.” Higher credit scores qualify buyers for the lowest interest rates. If you’ve been working on yours, now could be the time to cash in on the effort.

Interest rates tend to fall in the fall.

While it’s true that interest rates have gone up since their historic lows, they are still comparatively great. Plus, rates historically reach their lowest points of the year in Q4. What’s more, given where interest rates were just ten years ago, the average monthly mortgage payment has actually decreased. (Be sure to check the proposed tax rate in your area to get a better idea of your final amount.)

New build inventories are high.

The rush isn’t over, but home inventories are finally starting to catch up from where they were at the height of the buying frenzy. That’s especially true in new home communities like Lilyana by Hillwood, who have available homes from multiple top DFW homebuilders. That means more variety and inventory to choose from, making it a really a good time to buy.

Competition is cooling.

If the thought of engaging in a bidding war gives you pause, you’re certainly not alone. It can drive up the sales price of a home and draw out the time it takes to find your new space. Fortunately, data shows most homes have fewer bidders per listing right now. The National Association of REALTORS® reports that homes for sale are getting half as many offers as compared to Spring.

DFW has a strong job market.

If you’re going to buy a house, you really want job security. Plain and simple. Though no one can predict the future, Dallas and its many suburbs have some of the strongest job markets in the country, making it a great place to find opportunities. In fact, a recent report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed the local job gain rate increased 6.7%, almost double the national average.

Should you buy a house in 2022 FAQ:

  • When is it too late to buy a home? As a rule of thumb, most financial professionals recommend spending no more than 30% of your gross monthly income on housing expenses. Once you exceed that threshold, you may need to wait until interest rates and/or home prices drop.
  • When is it a good time to buy a house? The housing market has seasons. Generally, fall can be a less competitive time to buy a home. Sales prices and interest rates also historically tend to be lower during this time frame.
  • Will 2023 be a good time to buy a house? Given how cagey the government has been about the economy, it’s unclear what the 2023 housing market will look like. Stay tuned to see what the federal reserve decides to do with interest rates.
  • Is it better to buy a house in 2022 or in 2023? If you can financially afford it and the time is right for your family to settle, consider buying in 2022 to avoid potentially increasing interest rates in 2023.

Buy a New Home at Lilyana by Hillwood + Invest in Your Future

So, final verdict. Is it a good time to buy a home or is now a bad time to buy a house? You have our opinion, but do your own research and take your personal financial situation into account before deciding.

Just remember – things change quickly in real estate. Celina is the fastest growing city in North Texas, keeping attractive new home communities like Lilyana in high demand. That’s not only good for future resale value, it’s also a great place to settle and ride out whatever the economy does next.

6 Tips for Getting the Most Out of Virtual Home Tours https://www.lilyanabyhillwood.com/2022/09/15/six-tips-virtual-home-tours/ Thu, 15 Sep 2022 15:21:40 +0000 https://www.lilyanabyhillwood.com/?p=2173 Read More]]> Where do you start when you’re ready to look for a new home? Your first thought might be to jump in the car and begin touring new home communities, and that’s perfectly valid. But without focus and a few ideas about what you want, you may be burning a lot of gas and time and seeing little in the way of results.

Virtual home tours are a great starting point. They were already popular before the pandemic, but in the last few years, the benefits of virtual tours have become more apparent, and the number of virtual home tours has been increasing. The pandemic accelerated the use of many virtual services, especially those for home buying. In 2021, 35% of marketers used virtual reality to market products and services.

Should you buy a home entirely via an online platform? There are many things to consider when purchasing a home, and some intangibles are not easy to gather from a virtual platform. But virtual tours are an excellent place to start the homebuying process while also avoiding the time and hassle of loading the family in the car and driving to multiple communities.

Here are our tips for getting the most out of a virtual homebuying experience:

Establish Priorities

Location will likely be the first factor you will want to consider.  Do you want to live in the city, the suburbs, or in a more rural area that has a small-town feel?  Consider the different price points in each of these types of communities and how this affects the size of home you can afford.

Next, take some time to talk with family members about the most critical priorities for your next home.  It could be helpful to make three lists: must-haves, nice-to-haves, and the icing on the cake.

For instance, four bedrooms, great schools, and a community pool and recreation area may be must-haves. Maybe your nice-to-have is a park nearby and walking trails for family fitness. Perhaps the icing on the cake is a nearby fishing pond.

Keep your location preferences and critical priorities in mind as you begin to browse communities and homes online.

Take Virtual Tours of Homes by Different Builders

Once you have identified some locations you like, look for available homes online.  There are many excellent new home communities that offer the charm of small-town life just a short drive from the excitement of the city.

Visit some new home community websites. Do they have homes for sale with virtual tours? Can you do a virtual home walkthrough or even a tour of the community’s amenities?  These options give you a place to begin investigating.

Most new home communities offer several builders for potential residents to consider. Take virtual tours of homes in the community built by different builders. Look for an easy way to compare prices and features the builders offer. This comparison will give you an idea of your options and whether the community fits your needs and budget.

Does the house look like a place you could comfortably live? Can you see yourself walking in at the end of a long day and sighing with relaxation? Perhaps enjoying family time at the pavilion and pool?

Write Down Your Questions

When touring a home or neighborhood virtually, it is easy to forget some of the most important questions to ask. Builder’s warranties, HOA policies, utility providers, and future development plans in the area are a few things you may want to learn more about.

If you write down the questions while shopping online, you’ll have those in hand when you are ready to visit a few communities in person. When touring physically, you’ll quickly be able to compare neighborhoods based on similar criteria.

Explore the Area

It’s just as important to know what’s around your new home and neighborhood as it is to have the ideal home. Once you’ve selected a few communities from virtual tours, take a little time to explore the surrounding areas.  You can even do this online to narrow your search further before visiting in person.  Online tools like Google Maps and Google Earth make this much easier than you might think.

Lilyana by Hillwood is conveniently located in beautiful Celina, Texas within the growing Collin County. The appealing area and proximity to Frisco and Plano make it an ideal location for a busy family, with shopping, dining, major corporate centers, and entertainment just a short drive away.

Investigate the Schools

One of the most critical priorities for families buying a new home is to ensure that the schools have academic excellence and extracurricular variety that keep students engaged in learning.

Lilyana is located in the highly rated Prosper School District, and children in the community attend Johnson Elementary School, Rogers Middle School, and Prosper High School. Lilyana Elementary School, located within the Lilyana new home community, is slated to open in fall 2023.

Make an In-Person Visit to the Communities You Like Best

A virtual tour is a wonderful tool to help narrow down your search. Once you have a pared-down list of the new home neighborhoods that excite you the most, go! Set an appointment to visit and get a feel for the place.

This stage is where the intangibles are most important. What is the feel of the neighborhood? Is it a place you could call home? Do the amenities measure up to the online version? Are your most-used services close to home?

Come Home to Lilyana by Hillwood in Celina

The families coming to Lilyana by Hillwood are not looking for a house; they’re looking for a home. They want a place to live whole, happy, and satisfying lives, which is what our residents have found here.  Find your new home by viewing our builders and the designs they offer at our community.

Making Irresistible Meals in an Outdoor Kitchen https://www.lilyanabyhillwood.com/2022/07/15/great-meals-outdoor-kitchen/ Fri, 15 Jul 2022 05:00:59 +0000 https://www.lilyanabyhillwood.com/?p=2071 Read More]]> When it comes to outdoor living, a kitchen is so often the epicenter for connection and wellbeing. With good food and close community on the menu, life is pretty delicious. 

Having an outdoor kitchen the whole family can enjoy is a philosophy that’s alive and well at Lilyana by Hillwood in Celina, TX. Located in our pavilion adjacent to the swimming pool, our outdoor kitchen is open for residents who want to connect and make memories in an open-air environment.

These are folks who have mastered the grill, as well as the art of cooking for a crowd. We asked some of our residents to share their best advice and recommendations for backyard cooking ideas to feed a group. Here’s what they told us: 

When in doubt, start with chicken.

Few foods are as versatile and crowd-pleasing as chicken. It readily adopts almost any flavor profile, is less expensive than red meat, and satisfies picky eaters and kids, too. You can make it the main course or use it to enhance one. 

Some favorite chicken recipes include: 

 

Kabobs Go with Everything

Because crowd cooking can mean navigating lots of different dietary restrictions, some simple veggie skewers are a great way to cover all your bases and make sure no one leaves your outdoor kitchen hungry! 

You’re free to string up any seasonal veggies you find at the farmer’s market or local grocer. However, you’ll want to avoid those that don’t stand up well to heat like greens. Otherwise, we like to alternate different combinations of:

  • Zucchini.
  • Onions.
  • Bell peppers.
  • Mushrooms.
  • Corn.
  • Cauliflower.
  • Broccoli.
  • Tomatoes.

 

Have a Plan for Keeping Everyone Cool and Bug-free 

In Texas, we’re fortunate that dining outdoors is a nearly year-round experience. Even still, it’s important to have a plan for keeping everyone hydrated. When the mercury rises, come prepared with a large water dispenser. 

Consider infusing the water with some cucumber slices for 2-4 hours before your gathering. According to dietitians, “These cooling foods clear out the toxin and heat from the body and protect you from many heat-related diseases.”

If you’re looking for a way to keep flies and other bugs away from the meal you have lovingly prepared, try investing in some inexpensive mesh food covers

You can make (almost) anything into a taco.

But really. Be it beans, veggies, or more traditional proteins, if you’re trying to make a meal stretch, portion it out into tacos, load it up with lettuce and salsa, then serve. 

People also love the camaraderie and creativity that comes from a build your own taco bar!

Use Compostable Dish Ware for Easy Cleanup

Especially if you’re feeding a big crowd, you can end up with a lot of waste. But if your cups, plates, napkins, and cutlery are all compostable, you can have one single trash receptacle to collect everything at once. 

You can dispose of it in a number of ways: by offering to give it to a community garden, contacting your city to see if they have composting services, or starting your own compost in the backyard! 

Keep Side Dishes Simple 

Again, the trick here is to see what’s in season and let that guide your meal planning.

Review this interactive seasonal food guide of fruits and veggies to see the time of year they’re typically most ripe and available. From there, grab some olive oil, salt, and pepper, and fire up the grill for a no-fuss family dinner al fresco.

There’s Always Room for Dessert 

Ending the evening on a sweet note is a great way to bring the meal to a close. Try grilling some summer peaches or autumn apples and using them as an ice cream topping, or making a cobbler on the grill

As of the 2020 census, Prosper’s population has more than doubled since 2010, making it one of the fastest-growing cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Of course, those who move away from the city don’t miss out on fun and recreation.  Folks who live in or near Prosper have plenty of things to do in and around the area and are close enough to Frisco to give residents access to the “big city” life too!

5 Things to Do in Prosper, TX

If you’re searching for some fun in and around Prosper, try these ideas:

1.     Enjoy Outdoor Recreation

One great thing to do with the family is visit one of the town’s many local parks. The town has many trails and bike paths through natural settings, so it’s easy to get out in nature.

Prosper’s most well-known park is Frontier Park, which gives people access to various sports fields, walking trails, biking trails, a community playground, a splash pad, and a catch-and-release pond. Other public parks in town include:

  • Cedar Grove Park
  • Boyer Park
  • Hays Park
  • Tucker Park

These areas are great for taking the kids out to a playground, walking pets, or simply getting out to enjoy the outdoors.

If you love the links, try out nearby Westridge Golf Course which is open to the public. It offers an 18-hole championship course, memberships, lessons, golf outings, a driving range, and a restaurant.  It is perfect for anyone itching to tee off for an afternoon.

2.     Visit Area Wineries

Oenophiles (a.k.a. wine lovers) will want to visit the Prosper area’s local wineries.  There you can taste hand-made wines, see the winemaking process, and relax with beautiful views and live entertainment (depending on the night).

Two of the best wineries near Prosper are Caudalie Crest Winery and Eden Hill Winery & Vineyard. Caudalie Crest is a boutique-style winery offering a diverse selection of wines, light snacks, live music evenings, and High Tea on the farm.  It’s a predominantly outdoor facility with a classic country feel—complete with goats!

Eden Hill Vineyard features tours, events, music, and excellent Texas wines.  Plan ahead to visit the Estate Tasting Room (reservations required) or just drop by to enjoy the food and wine at Cellar Bar and Patios.

3.     Go Shopping

What Should I Ask when Buying a House? https://www.lilyanabyhillwood.com/2022/05/15/what-to-ask-when-buying-house/ Sun, 15 May 2022 21:10:33 +0000 https://www.lilyanabyhillwood.com/?p=1906 Read More]]> Buying a new home is a thrilling experience, but it’s important to make sure your new house is a good fit. That not only means familiarizing yourself with the home, its cost, condition, etc., but also the surrounding community.  Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or you’ve been around the block already, here are some excellent questions to ask when buying a new construction home in a new home community.

1. Who is the builder?

You want a builder who has a good track record and who stands by their work. Asking who built the home you’re considering can help you evaluate the overall quality of its construction. By choosing a home from a reputable builder, you can be certain that the house conforms to a high standard of craftsmanship.

At Lilyana by Hillwood in Celina, our builders are American Legend Homes, Highland Homes, and M/I Homes, all of whom are known for building high quality homes that homeowners love.

2. How much are HOA fees, and what do they cover?

Many of the best new home communities have homeowners’ associations. This is typically a good thing. In fact, one survey shows that about 73% of Texas residents believe their HOA provides needed value and support, so it’s worth asking about the local community association.

Naturally, you you’ll want to ask about fees, but don’t stop there. In addition to the total cost, make sure you get details on what those fees cover, whether that includes landscaping, maintenance of parks and common areas, etc.

3. What are the HOA’s rules?

HOA rules are also important. To make sure a community is a good fit for your family, you’ll want to get some details on the kinds of requirements the association has regarding the aesthetics of the houses in your neighborhood, noise complaint policies, parking guidelines, decoration restrictions, and so forth.

4. What’s the local school district?

For many, the key to a good community is a good school system. Asking about the local school district can help you make sure your child will get a good education. In addition, the quality of the school district often reflects the community as a whole.

A highly rated school district—such as Prosper ISD in which Lilyana resides—can be a major selling point for anyone looking for a place to live.

5. What community amenities are there?

New home communities often have shared amenities, so it’s good to choose a place that has options you and your family will enjoy. Those might include a community pool, parks, playgrounds, walking trails, pavilions, and more, so find out what the area has to offer. For instance, Lilyana has a number of scenic parks (including one with a pickleball court!), a beautiful pool, an outdoor kitchen and even a catch-and-release fishing pond, which can be wonderful for families who love the outdoors.

6. Who provides utilities?

Local utilities are, of course, vital. The city or companies supplying your utilities such as electric, gas, water, telephone, and more are not only important to know once you move in, but also a potential deciding factor beforehand. Cities with reliable services are more likely to provide a favorable experience and prompt repairs in the event of an outage.

7. What’s nearby?

Of course, it’s not all about what’s in the neighborhood itself. Location is a major deciding factor for many people moving into North Texas, and proximity to city amenities can be a major selling point. Asking what cities, stores, hospitals, airports, and other resources are nearby can help you decide whether a given neighborhood is a good fit. For instance, Lilyana’s proximity to Frisco, TX makes it a great option for people looking for a quiet neighborhood with small-town charm that is just a short drive from a vibrant city that offers a fantastic selection of shopping, dining, entertainment, and employment options.

8. What future developments are planned for the area?

Finally, new home communities are likely to continue growing long after you move in, so it can be helpful to consider what developments are planned for the neighborhood you’re looking at. If the aesthetic of the home’s surroundings is a selling point for you, you’ll want to make sure those surroundings will remain attractive for years to come.

Celina, Texas – Plans & Programs Promote Economic Growth https://www.lilyanabyhillwood.com/2022/04/15/celina-texas-plans-programs-promote-economic-growth/ Fri, 15 Apr 2022 15:39:05 +0000 https://www.lilyanabyhillwood.com/?p=1788 Read More]]> The City of Celina, TX, located within Collin County in North Texas, is one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation. The plans and programs the city has implemented in recent years have helped drive that growth while accommodating new businesses and residents, making it an ideal destination for new move-ins.

How Celina, TX Is Encouraging Growth

According to U.S. census data, the population in Celina reached more than 16,000 in 2020, up 167% from its previous census count of approximately 6,000 in 2010. Since 2020, the city’s population has risen even further, and is estimated to be approximately 27,000, with no sign of stopping. The City of Celina has helped support this growth in the following ways:

  • Various downtown development incentives to drive real estate improvements.
  • Business incentives through the Celina Economic Development Corporation.
  • Fun events and opportunities to connect with citizens and promote the quality of life in Celina.

Celina, TX Downtown Programs

This fast-growing Collin County community has become an attractive location for business owners due to the numerous incentive programs offered in downtown Celina, Tx.  Let’s explore three of the most influential of these programs.

Downtown Improvement Programs

Businesses and property owners that add “meaningful additions” to public spaces can benefit from Celina’s Downtown Improvement Program (DIP), which provides grants of up to $25,000 to reimburse 50% of the cost of an improvement. Some examples of meaningful additions include improvements to building facades, public art installations, enhanced lighting, seating, and other aesthetic enhancements that those living in Celina, TX and visitors can enjoy while downtown.

Neighborhood Empowerment Zone

Construction projects typically incur the expense of building permits and impact fees, but the Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ) program helps take the edge off those costs. Those who undertake remodeling or new construction projects downtown can enjoy reduced prices for the required permits and fees.

Residential Tax Reinvestment Program

Finally, the Residential Tax Reinvestment Program (RTRP) provides a one-time payment to defray the increase in city property tax resulting from the improvement (valued at $20,000 or more) to the exterior of an existing downtown area residence.  The improvement or expansion must follow Downtown Celina architectural standards. When improvements are made that preserve historical landmarks and beautify the area, the downtown area becomes more attractive for new businesses to move in, further expanding the number of jobs available to Celina residents.

The Role of the Celina Economic Development Corporation (CEDC)

The Celina Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) is an organization that targets and attracts businesses with the goal of creating new jobs in the area. The CEDC does this by offering incentives and helping businesses find the capital they need to get up and running.

Some of the CEDC’s incentives and services include:

  • Capital investment incentives
  • Job creation incentives
  • Tax abatements
  • Infrastructure assistance
  • Permitting and development
  • Building fee waivers

The CEDC’s efforts have been successful so far, with 19 new businesses added in 2019, creating 275 jobs for Celina residents. That number is likely to continue increasing in coming years as Celina’s growth explosion surges forward.

Additional Initiatives to Promote Growth in Celina, TX

On top of the financial incentives offered to attract businesses to Celina, TX, additional programs and events contribute to the city’s reputation as a connected community with a vision for growth.

City Events and Festivals

Downtown Celina, TX is home to many events, such as:

  • Holiday-related events and local festivals
  • Free concerts
  • Movie nights
  • The Friday Night Market, which features local vendors and artisans

These events attract people from all over North Texas, drawing customers to Celina’s businesses and enhancing the city’s reputation as a destination for fun.

Citizens’ Government Academy

This is a unique program that is open to Celina business owners and residents, age 18 and up, who want to learn more about how the local government operates.  This free class covers such topics as city engineering, public safety, infrastructure, residential life, economic development, etc. and is likely to produce more than a few future city leaders.

Celina is a Gigabit City

One of Celina’s major strengths is connection, and this is literally true when it comes to the local internet infrastructure. The city’s network of fiber optic lines has earned it its designation as an official Gigabit City, meaning all residents and businesses have access to at least 1 Gbps connectivity speed.

Celina Life Connected App

Finally, the City of Celina has developed an app that allows residents to keep tabs on local news and events, pay bills, and access services and resources. The Celina Life Connected app increases the level of connection between residents, business owners, and the city.

Live in a Great Community in Texas’s Fastest-Growing City

If you’re looking for a great community in which to grow, start a business, or simply settle down, Lilyana by Hillwood is the perfect place to enjoy what Celina has to offer.

How Celina & Collin County Are Changing https://www.lilyanabyhillwood.com/2022/03/15/how-celina-collin-county-are-changing/ Tue, 15 Mar 2022 18:14:00 +0000 https://www.lilyanabyhillwood.com/?p=1576 Read More]]> Celina is one of the fastest-growing cities in North Texas, and that growth is due in part to the many changes that have been made in the city and Collin County as a whole. In this article, we’ll take a look at how Celina and Collin County are changing for the better and what that means for you.

Recent Changes in Celina and Collin County

The changes made in Celina and Collin County in recent years benefit long time residents, brand new residents, real estate investors, and more. Here are a few of those positive impacts.

An Ideal Communities for Families

First is the construction of new home communities. These communities are built from the ground up with convenience and quality of life in mind, making them the ideal places to move in, raise a family, and become a part of a wonderful neighborhood.

Lilyana is one such community. Here, we offer a wide range of amenities including a fishing pond, parks, playgrounds, sports courts, biking trails, and a resort-style pool, all within the acclaimed Prosper ISD.

A Great Place to Work

Not only is Celina great for raising a family, but it’s also an ideal location to work. Between the years of 2010 and 2019, over 202,000 jobs were created in Collin County, making it a prime location to either start your career or take it to the next level. In addition, the average commute time in the county is under 30 minutes, and initiatives have been passed to improve roads used by those with longer commutes.

Attractive Real Estate Incentives

Further feeding into the population explosion in Celina are the prime opportunities for real estate. To encourage real estate investment and expansion in the area, the city of Celina has a number of programs that are of special interest to those wanting to build within the city. These include such programs as:

  • The Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ), which reduces fees for commercial and residential construction in the area.
  • Downtown Improvement Programs (DIP), which reimburses half the cost of “meaningful additions to the public realm,” such as public art, lighting, façade improvements, etc.
  • Residential Tax Reinvestment Program (RTRP), which covers tax increases (one-time only) from improvements and expansions on residential properties downtown.

Business owners, builders, and real estate investors can benefit from these incentives, drawing more commerce to the area as a result.

Continuing Improvements

Not only has Celina seen recent improvements, but those improvements are likely to continue. For instance, the city recently announced an $8 million project that would enhance various aspects of the city, such as drainage, parking, water lines, and more. This project and others will continue to increase the quality of life in the area, attracting more people.

Celina Vs. Prosper – A Quick Comparison

Celina isn’t the only city to see changes for the better; neighboring Prosper is also an excellent place to move to. To understand what both these cities have to offer, let’s look at some quick comparisons using the latest census data.

Homeownership

Homeownership in both Celina and Prosper is high, with percentages reaching 80.7% and 86.4% respectively. This is much higher than the 65% in Collin and Denton counties as a whole.

Average homeowner costs (minus mortgage) are higher in Prosper at $1,133 per month versus $827 in Celina, which is closer to the median for Collin County.

Population

Population-wise, Prosper is home to more households than Celina (6,634 versus 3,466 at the last census). Prosper also has a slightly higher average number of persons per household. In 2010, however, Celina had a higher population per square mile at 430.2 versus Prosper’s 417.3. Naturally, that number has likely increased significantly as the city has grown.

Convenience

The most current data available (2012) from the U.S. Economic Census shows both cities are booming economically, with retail sales of $23.6 million in Celina and $35.4 million in Prosper. Ready access to shopping and comfortable commute times (just under 35 minutes for both Celina and Prosper) make these cities convenient, desirable places to live. In fact, from 2015 to 2019, most residents of these towns reported living in the same home they did the previous year (84.6% in Celina and 83.7% in Prosper).
