Preston, TX

Preston is a quiet lakeside community of about 2,100 residents, sitting on a scenic peninsula that reaches into Lake Texoma in northern Grayson County. If you are looking for a relaxed waterfront lifestyle, the area features a blend of weekend cabins, full-time neighborhood homes, and easy access to local marinas and parks. It also has deep roots, starting in the early 1800s as a busy trading post and Red River crossing for pioneers and cattle drivers heading into Texas.

When Lake Texoma was created in the 1940s, the rising water covered the original settlement, and the community shifted up to the higher ground of Preston Peninsula. Today, life here revolves around the water, from morning fishing trips and boating to quiet evenings by the shore. Residents enjoy the peace and charm of lakeside living while staying an easy drive from shopping, dining, and healthcare in nearby Denison and Sherman.
