About New Preston
New Preston is a picturesque village tucked within the town of Washington in Connecticut's Litchfield Hills. Sitting just south of Lake Waramaug along the East Aspetuck River, the village centers on a charming, hillside main street filled with boutique shops, antique stores, and neighborhood cafes. The rushing waterfall at New Preston Falls nods to the area's mill-town history, but the village today is better known for its relaxed pace and classic New England charm.
Living here puts plenty of outdoor recreation right in your backyard, whether you are hiking the scenic trails at Macricostas Preserve or spending summer afternoons on the lake. Families are served by Regional School District 12, which Washington shares with neighboring communities. With a small population of around 1,100 people, New Preston offers a quiet, scenic lifestyle with a strong sense of community.
