An old post from way back in 2006 is still is one with the most comments. At the time I solicited ideas for preppy towns in the northeast or even the whole USA. So, I decided to re-open the comments and get a better list together.
This entire list is from readers suggestions only, I have my own ideas and most are on this list---hopefully we can get some additional names from this post and make a total list by summers end!!!
And with this list it seems "Preppy town" may be just where preppy people live? what do YOU think? Any towns missing?

Dallas, TX and Palm Beach, FL :)
Love Dallas!!! AND was waiting for SOMEONE to mention Palm Beach!!
Mountain Brook, AL. It's not in the northeast, but it can be pretty preppy.
Guess that depends on if you are talking "old money" or "new money" --- also, what's up with Grosse Pointe being listed last? Also, of the 5 Grosse Pointes the best is Grosse Pointe Farms! I would also add Newport, RI; Highland Park, TX [not all of "Dallas"]; Dunwoody, GA; Pasadea, CA; etc. Great list though!!
These are all mentioned in TOPH, I believe. Certainly all have long been dominated by preps:
Georgetown, DC
Great Falls, VA
McLean, VA
Potomac, MD
