The population has nearly doubled in the last decade, making this an extra exciting time to be living in Celina. Located 40 miles north of Dallas between Preston Road and the future Dallas North Tollway, this Collin County town is situated to become a big player in North Texas. However, despite the growth, Celina maintains its reputation as a small city with a big vision due in part to its authentic culture and connected community shown through events like CajunFest, Parkfest, Friday Night Farmer’s Markets and movies in the town square. Celina is also known for its top-rated school district which boasts a 15-to-1 student-teacher ratio.
