Why Build a Custom Home in Princeton, TX
Princeton, Texas isn’t just growing — it’s leading the nation. According to U.S. Census data, Princeton ranks as the #1 fastest-growing city in the United States, with population growth exceeding 20% annually.
What’s driving this growth? Customers are discovering what longtime residents already know: Princeton offers the perfect balance of accessible location, affordable land, and small-town character that’s increasingly rare in the DFW metroplex.
The Princeton Advantage
Location
Just 45 minutes from downtown Dallas, Princeton offers easy access to major employment centers while maintaining its distinct identity.
Collin County Schools
Princeton ISD serves the community with growing investment in education and facilities.
Land Availability
Unlike the master-planned communities dominating nearby cities, Princeton still offers opportunities to build on your own land — acreage properties where you choose your builder and your plan.
Growth with Character
Princeton is growing rapidly, but thoughtfully. New development is bringing amenities while the community works to preserve what makes it special.
For customers looking to build a custom home — not a cookie-cutter tract house — Princeton represents one of the best opportunities in North Texas. Land is available, restrictions are reasonable, and you're close enough to everything while feeling a world away.

Build on Your Land
Princeton offers what’s increasingly rare in North Texas: the opportunity to build a custom home on your own property. Whether you already own land or you’re searching for the perfect lot, we can help. Unlike master-planned communities with approved builder lists, Princeton’s build-on-your-land options give you the freedom to choose.
15-Minute Proximity
Our Caddo Mills headquarters is just 15 miles from Princeton via FM 1377. That proximity means responsive service, easy site visits, and the same attention to detail we give projects in our own backyard. When you build with us, you’re building with a neighbor.
Local Knowledge
We’ve been building in Collin County and surrounding areas since 2007. We understand the soil conditions, the permitting processes, and the local requirements. That experience translates to a smoother build for you.

What Makes S. Clements Homes Different
Choosing a custom home builder is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Here’s why customers across Princeton and Northeast Texas choose S. Clements Homes:
Fixed-Price Contracts
No cost-plus guessing games. When you sign a contract with us, that's your price — period. We've built over 2,000 homes this way since 2007.
"If you sign a contract for $450,000, it's $450,000 when we're finished."
$160 Per Square Foot Under Roof
Our Standard Package includes premium features that most builders charge extra for — spray foam insulation, granite countertops, tankless water heater, 8-foot doors, and more. All at $160 per square foot under roof.
"Our starting point is tenfold what most builders offer as their top end."
No Markup on Upgrades
Want to upgrade your granite or extend your hardwood floors? You pay only the price difference — no 25% markup. We pass our buying power directly to you.
"Why would I mark it up? We don't treat our customers like that. You're already paying me to build your house so we pass the value on to you."
Lifetime Support
We don't disappear after the one-year warranty. If something needs attention five years from now — or twenty — you can still call us. That's how we've earned so many repeat customers.
"Your house is 20 years old? You can still call me."

CLIENT EXPERIENCES
What Our Clients Say
We’ve built over 2,000 homes across Northeast Texas. Here’s what customers say about working with S. Clements Homes.
“We had a very easy and pleasant building experience with Scott. Our home was built quickly and was exactly what we hoped for. Anytime we have needed anything, Scott has always taken care of it. He is a great custom home builder who stands behind his work and builds beautiful homes at affordable prices, unlike many other builders out there today. S Clements Homes did not forget about us after the “one year” date was up like most other builders. I would definitely recommend building with S Clements Homes.”
Chris Sawyer

“What he means: Most builders disappear after warranty. We’re still a phone call away.”
“Scott has built several homes for me and friends. One of the best builders out there and always takes care of the little things. I would highly recommend him and the quality is second to none.”
Nelson Lively
Hunt County
“Repeat customers are our best endorsement. Why would you come back if you weren’t happy?”
My house is now 13 years old, paid for and still fabulous. Scott even found us a bank that gave us under 3% interest rate on a 15 year note. Getting ready to help my daughter get her house built in the near future.
