Celina sits at the northern edge of Collin County, with a small piece in Denton County, and it has changed faster than almost anywhere in North Texas. The 2020 Census counted 16,739 residents; the city's 2025 estimate is about 64,000, and the Dallas Business Journal named it the fastest-growing city in the metroplex three years in a row. Most of that growth is new homes along State Highway 289, known locally as Preston Road, while the brick storefronts of the Historic Downtown Square, rebuilt around 1910, still host Cajun Fest and Christmas on the Square. Households here are large, averaging 3.3 people, and more than half include children, so a move out of Celina often means a full family home and school records from Celina ISD or Prosper ISD. Green Van Lines has been a long-distance mover out of Dallas–Fort Worth since 2007 and was the first eco-friendly moving company in the US. From our Farmers Branch base, Celina is about 33 miles north, and we plan your interstate route from Preston Road out.

Celina questions
Which road will the moving truck use to leave Celina?
Celina is centered on State Highway 289 (Preston Road), with downtown just west of it, so most moves start by heading south on Preston Road toward the larger highways serving the north Dallas suburbs. The exact interstate route depends on your destination state.
Celina has a lot of new construction. Does that affect moving day?
It can. Many of Celina's homes are in newer developments along Preston Road, where streets and addresses may be recent. Giving us your exact address and any gate or community entrance details ahead of time helps the crew plan truck access.
My home is in Prosper ISD but has a Celina address. Is that normal?
Yes. Celina ISD covers most of the city, but Prosper ISD serves the southern portions of Celina, including several elementary schools located in Celina such as Light Farms Elementary. Check your district before requesting school records for your new state.
