Princeton, Texas is a lakeside city known for being community-minded and neighborly. This small, close-knit Dallas suburb is located in Collin County. It offers residents quality public schools in a safe atmosphere, next to the natural beauty of Lake Lavon. It is considered to be one of the best suburbs in Texas to raise families. The city motto, "Naturally Home," embodies all that Princeton represents.
First settled as farmland, Princeton, formerly called Wilson's Switch, began to grow when the Greenville to McKinney railway line made its way through the area around 1881. The city is located on the northern end of the 22,000-acre Lavon Lake, one of North Texas's largest and most popular recreational lakes. Lavon Lake features more than 121 miles of shoreline with access from Princeton and neighboring cities like Wylie and Farmersville. Lavon Lake offers an array of outdoor recreational activities from swimming, boating, and fishing, to many opportunities for cycling and hiking throughout the many trails surrounding the lake.
Princeton's new housing developments offer residents the best of both worlds. On top of the benefits that come with quiet, small-town living in a lakeside community, all of the urban amenities of Dallas are just an hour away from Princeton, and Fort Worth is just a little further. Dallas offers an array of arts and culture opportunities in its popular Arts District. In Fort Worth, residents can catch rodeos, learn about cowboy history or spend a day at the Fort Worth Zoo.
Princeton is also 38 miles away from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
