Princeton, Texas

The City of Princeton lists eleven active PIDs — Arcadia Farms, Brookside, Crossroads, Eastridge, Westridge, Whitewing Trails, Winchester Crossing, Sicily, Southridge, Windmore and Serenity — and publishes no assessment rates for any of them, telling residents to check their closing documents. A PID assessment sits on top of the 1.877989 combined rate. Separately, the city's own page shows a 2026 city rate of $0.472959 that does not reconcile with the county's posted 2025 sheet, so confirm the current city rate before relying on a total.

Princeton ISD enrolls 11,388 students across 16 campuses — ten elementary, three middle and two high schools — per the most recent TEA release. Voters approved a $797 million bond in 2023 for eight new campuses, with construction running 2025 to 2032, and the district projects 19,574 students by 2034. Campus ratings and data: txschools.gov.

Princeton to Dallas is 42 miles via US-75 and TX-121.

US-380 is being widened from four lanes to six between Airport Drive in McKinney and CR 458, reported 25% complete in May 2026 with completion estimated at the end of 2028. The US-380 bypass north of Princeton — 11.7 miles, roughly $8 billion — is not currently funded and TxDOT has not developed a letting schedule, so do not count on it. A 100,000 sq ft Kroger Marketplace representing about $40 million and 200 jobs is planned to open in late 2027 as part of the 66-acre Princeton Town Center, which also announced Home Depot, Hobby Lobby, Texas Health Resources, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, PetSmart and others, with a grand opening in late fall 2027.
