One well-known Celina resident is Punk Carter, a long-time horse breeder whose clients include Leanne Rimes, Michael Keaton, Marilyn Quayle, and Christie Brinkley. In fact, Carter recently sold a large tract of land on Preston Road that is being developed at Carter Ranch Estates. New homes are being built very quickly in Celina, as well as in Prosper which is about 4 miles south on Preston Road.
