Four of the five fastest-growing US cities are in North Texas. Princeton ranks #3.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 population estimates released this week, the top five fastest growing cities in the United States with populations of 20,000 or more are all located in Texas, with four of them clustered in the suburbs of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area. Three of them sit in Collin County.

Only Fulshear, sitting west of Houston, falls outside the DFW Metroplex. The other four are all suburban North Texas cities. Princeton, Melissa, and Anna are located in Collin County, while Celina spans Collin and Denton counties. Per the same release, the South claims 10 of the nation's 15 fastest growing cities.
Princeton ranked first nationally in the Vintage 2024 data with a 30.6% population increase from 2023 to 2024. According to the Census Bureau, Celina was identified as the nation's fastest growing city in 2023, then reclaimed the top spot in 2025. That movement among North Texas cities at the top of the rankings may indicate that regional population growth has remained strong across multiple years rather than being driven by a single-year spike.
This year, Princeton ranks third nationally among U.S. cities with populations over 20,000, recording 18.1% growth, adding more than 6,000 residents in twelve months. Even at a slower rate than its 2024 peak, Princeton remains among the fastest-growing cities in the country by percentage growth.
Several factors drive the growth seen in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area.The area gained about 270,000 residents through net domestic migration from 2020 to 2025, nearly 40% more than any other metro area in the country, according to a Census Bureau analysis published alongside the new estimates.
Housing affordability inside the metro helps explain the trend. As of May 2025, median home values in Princeton sit around $325,000, lower than reported values in neighboring cities like McKinney and Frisco, according to the data cited by the City of Princeton. The relative affordability and availability of land for large-scale residential development have contributed to continued outward growth across Collin County.
Public investment has accompanied the area’s growth. According to district projections, Princeton ISD is preparing for projected enrollment of 19,574 students by 2034 with eight new campuses planned. The TxDOT 380 freeway widening project, the planned 66-acre Princeton Town Center, and the city's $109 million parks bond program reflect continued infrastructure and development activity in a city that fewer than 18,000 people called home at the start of the decade.
The Census Bureau noted that growth nationally has concentrated in midsized cities on the outer edges of major metros. It described this category of city as occupying a "Goldilocks zone": populations large enough to sustain new development but small enough to grow rapidly, situated outside slowing urban cores and supported by new housing supply.
The four DFW cities in the top five fit that description directly. So do midsized growth markets in other parts of the country, where similar patterns of suburban expansion are reshaping where new residential development is concentrated.
Following the full funding of Garrison and Jameson, Macallan is currently the only Realbricks offering available in Princeton.
The Macallan is a completed new construction single family home in the Frontier Pointe subdivision, structured debt-free with no mortgage which limits interest rate exposure, backed by a 1-year builder warranty. The home sits on an interior lot deeper within the neighborhood layout, offering future residents a quieter setting with lower local transit traffic. Once tenanted and generating rent, the property will qualify for potential quarterly dividends when issued.
Shares are offered at $10 each with a $100 minimum investment.

Neptune does not have a public trading market for its Series Interests. While it intends to seek a quotation on PPEX, an alternative trading system (ATS) operated by North Capital Investment Technology, Inc. (“PPEX”) with a view to providing our holders of Series Interests with potential liquidity in the form of a secondary market for their investment in our Series Interests. However, there can be no guarantee that a secondary market may develop, or if it does, as to the volume or pricing with respect to any secondary trading that might develop. The PPEX does not employ market makers to provide liquidity, unlike national securities exchanges. Until Neptune’s Series Interests are listed, if ever, you may not sell the company’s Series Interests. Therefore, it may be difficult for you to sell Neptune’s Series Interests at the time you wish to do so, if you are able to sell them at all. If you are able to sell your Series Interests, you may have to sell them at a substantial discount to their public offering price. Because of the illiquid nature of our Series Interests, you should purchase Neptune’s Series Interests only as a long-term investment and be prepared to hold them for an indefinite period of time.
