"Small town where people know each other and wave to one another. A nice quiet place to raise a family. There a just a few restaurants, 2 grocery stores, post office, coffee shop, hardware store, pharmacy, and dry cleaners."

"Nothing unique in Princeton. Small town America. It is the same story that has been done time and again. A boring but safe story."

"Rural farming community that is the epitome of southern living and hospitality. Homes in this area are affordable and land is abundant. The area offers "above-average" schools, almost no crime, and has lower than average unemployment rates. Very pleased to be starting my family on Oakland Church Rd."
