About Prestonville

Perched right where the Kentucky River flows into the Ohio, Prestonville is a tiny community of under 200 people. It sits directly across the water from Carrollton, giving residents a quiet, slow-paced home base with easy bridge access to nearby shops, schools, and services. The town dates back to 1797 and even spent a few years in the 1800s officially named Wide-Awake. If you are looking for a secluded, waterfront spot with deep local roots, Prestonville offers plenty of peaceful charm.
