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.
