Preston Lake is a community located in the town of Whitchurch–Stouffville in the Regional Municipality of York in Ontario, Canada. The community is centred on Preston Lake, a natural glacier kettle lake, immediately north-east of the intersection of Bloomington Road and Woodbine Avenue, east of Highway 404, near Aurora.
The Preston Lake community has approximately 700 residents divided into three distinct sub-communities: the North Shore, the Association of North Shore Ratepayers (private gated community); Preston Lake Beach Club on the west shore (luxury estate properties); and the Preston Lake South Shore Property Owners Association (upper middle-class). These three distinct homeowner's associations form the Pride & Preston Lake Community Association, a not-for-profit corporation, consisting of three elected directors (one from each residential shore - north, south, west), and an executive committee of volunteers, which includes a president, vice president, treasurer and secretary.
