THE REAL ESTATE MARKET IN PRINCETON
THE REAL ESTATE MARKET IN PRINCETON
Princeton is one of the best “value + growth” markets in Collin County right now—especially if you want newer homes, bigger lots, and more house for the money. It can feel competitive on the best-priced homes, but the good news is: there are still pocket areas where you can find strong value if you know where to look (and if you move quickly when the right one hits).
COMMUTE & LOCATION
COMMUTE & LOCATION
Princeton sits along the US-380 corridor, giving you fast access to McKinney, Melissa, and nearby job hubs—without paying McKinney prices. Most locals plan their commute around peak times… and they also know the back-road routes that can save you time when 380 gets backed up.
SCHOOLS & EDUCATION
SCHOOLS & EDUCATION
Most Princeton addresses fall under Princeton ISD, which has been growing rapidly along with the city. Here’s the insider piece: online ratings don’t tell the full story. What really matters is which elementary feeds into which middle/high school—that affects demand and resale when it’s time to sell.
COOL STUFF TO DO (LIFESTYLE)
COOL STUFF TO DO (LIFESTYLE)
For Foodies: Princeton favorites + nearby McKinney spots (especially the historic downtown square) when you want a real "night out" vibe.
For Families: Parks + sports keep weekends busy - plus you're close to big family-friendly options in McKinney/Allen without the same price tag.
Nightlife/Weekends: Breweries, wine bars, and date-night spots are usually McKinney/Allen/Frisco - Locals know what's worth it vs hype.
WHY LOCALS LOVE IT
WHY LOCALS LOVE IT
Princeton has that “growing hometown” feel—more space, newer homes, and still close enough to the major hubs. Inventory can be tight on the best deals, but I can also point you to coming soon opportunities and builder inventory that doesn’t always show up where most buyers are looking.
