What I wish I knew before living in Princeton

Madelyn Long Oct 13, 2025

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in North. It's solid for what you get.

Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in legal. If you're in government you might struggle.

People: Generally tough. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like BBQ.

No regrets on my end..

We moved here with our family and I genuinely enjoy living here. Schools in Uptown area are decent. Kids love it here.
