Welcome to Princeton, a census-designated place and unincorporated community in Miami-Dade County, Florida, located approximately 24 miles southwest of downtown Miami in the 33032 zip code . With a population of 39,308 at the 2020 census, Princeton has experienced explosive growth—increasing by 78.4% since 2010, making it one of the fastest-growing communities in South Florida .
The community has fascinating historic roots dating back to the early 1900s, when it served as a small town and depot along the Florida East Coast Railroad. It was named by Gaston Drake after his alma mater, Princeton University, and many of the town buildings were even painted the school’s colors: black and orange. Drake operated a saw mill and lumber company in Princeton supplying Miami, the Florida Keys and Cuba until the local timber gave out in 1923 .
Today, Princeton is a diverse, family-oriented community bordered to the north by Goulds and to the southwest by Naranja, with U.S. Route 1 (Dixie Highway) running northeast to southwest through its center and the Homestead Extension of Florida’s Turnpike forming its eastern edge . The population is predominantly Hispanic (71.6%), with a median household income of $82,130 and a remarkable 70.6% homeownership rate—significantly higher than many neighboring communities .
