68 Preston St

Preston Park Condominiums is a single-story garden-style complex built in 1982 and made up primarily of two-bedroom residences. The architecture favors low-rise, horizontal massing with individual ground- and garden-level entries, enclosed porches and screened sunrooms that face a central landscaped courtyard. Interiors commonly include oak or white cabinetry in kitchens, pantry or storage rooms, sliding glass doors, and three-season sunrooms that open directly to exterior patios or the courtyard. Shared facilities center on an expansive in-ground pool and cabana, coin laundry and additional storage areas; the homeowners association covers heat and hot water plus exterior maintenance, landscaping, road upkeep and snow removal. Grounds are professionally landscaped with formal garden beds, walkways and patios, and most units have at least one deeded parking space with occasional opportunities to rent extra spots. The association allows small dogs (typically under a 15-pound limit) and enforces community rules that maintain a quiet, suburban-residential atmosphere close to downtown Wakefield, commuter rail access, major routes (I-95/I-93/Route 1) and local amenities like shops, restaurants and Lake Quannapowitt.
