Discovery Meets Diversity
Community Meets Connection
Urban Meets Suburban

WELCOME HOME

Over 150 years ago, people from all walks of life were drawn westward in search of hope and prosperity. These were the pioneers. Now, people of all ethnicities and all different backgrounds are settled here, creating the uniquely diverse community it is today. Times have changed since the pioneers first arrived, but the spirit of Welcome Home continues to thrive at Painted Prairie. Today, this is where prairie meets city and urban meets suburban. Where you find the balance of indoor and outdoor getaways, all in a safe and secure neighborhood. Where diversity and inclusion — of people, of ideas, of architecture — are of the utmost importance. The belief here is simple. When neighbors become your friends, you elevate life for all. And when you’re a creator of community — a place to call home — you’re a part of something great, something bigger than yourself. These values, these ideals — this is Painted Prairie.

Resident Testimonials

Johann Duran

Once we heard of Painted Prairie in 2021, we were hooked! We loved the diversity of the community, the open space, and everything else it has to offer. Our house has very rapidly turned into a home. We actually met some of our closest friends at a Painted Prairie event.

Jacci Cradle

Painted Prairie has become a place that feels like home for my family because of the strong sense of community and the diverse and inclusive atmosphere. It’s a place where we can connect with neighbors, support local businesses, and truly feel like we belong. The shared values of unity, diversity, and sustainability in the community align with what our family holds dear. It’s a place where children can thrive, and we can contribute positively to the community.

Being an active community while bringing us together on the different events throughout the year. We have been fortunate to enjoy the farmers markets, the neighborhood BBQ, the pancake breakfast, the family painting class, movies at the park and the Fall Festival! Our son and dog also love all the parks!
