A country community in Princeton

Princeton is a rural, small-town community located 16 miles outside of Bossier City and 40 miles from the Texas border. “The area is the solid country,” says Jenny Spivey, a Realtor with East Bank Real Estate, who has lived in north Louisiana her entire life. “I would say it takes about 5 minutes to drive through the whole neighborhood.” The Barksdale Air Force Base-East and the Willis-Knighton Medical Center are the two largest employers in the area. Genesis Crude Oil is an oil refinery that’s another major employer, but also sometimes causes a strong odor in the area.

Traditional homes surrounded by trees

The neighborhood has traditional-style and contemporary houses with ranch-style influences that are surrounded by tall trees, ranging from $150,000 to $400,000. “There are also many mobile homes in the area,” says Spivey. “Homeowners tend to have lots of acreage, but it’s still affordable.”
