Preston sits along the rolling fields of Richardson County, a tiny community with wide horizons and easy access to the essentials in nearby Falls City and the river town of Rulo. Everyday errands, healthcare, and dining are just minutes away, and residents appreciate how quickly they can transition from quiet, porch-lit evenings to small-city amenities. Families and commuters also enjoy quick trips to regional events in Humboldt, including beloved county traditions that celebrate agriculture and local history. For permits, utilities, and recreation updates, convenient city services are available through the City of Falls City’s official site.
Outdoor time is a way of life here. The Missouri River corridor near Rulo offers fishing and birding, while sprawling bluff trails and fall color draw hikers to Indian Cave State Park. Closer to town, community parks and ballfields in Falls City host youth sports and summer picnics, making it simple to plug into seasonal activities without sacrificing small-town calm.
Schools are a strong draw for families. Students typically attend Falls City Public Schools, known for a supportive staff, competitive athletics, and expanding career pathways. Many families also consider Falls City Sacred Heart, a faith-based option with a proud academic and activities tradition.
Whether you’re seeking elbow room for a garden, a launching point for river and trail adventures, or a quieter home base near services and schools, Preston offers an easygoing rhythm. When it’s time to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a trusted local real estate professional.
