The Best Windsor Neighborhoods
Many Northern Colorado movers recommend several neighborhoods in Windsor, from established city hubs to up-and-coming areas boasting new amenities for all residents.
Downtown and Lower Windsor
Downtown is the scene of several recreational and cultural events, such as the exciting Oktoberfest and the Windsor Wonderland celebrations in the fall and winter. Surrounding Downtown is the ideal Windsor neighborhood to experience the most amenities possible, with specialty boutiques and upscale shopping, as well as excellent restaurants featuring local Colorado ingredients and dishes, such as Chimney Park Restaurant and Bar, one of the finest restaurants in the area, let alone Windsor. Downtown is very walkable and will feature more businesses and services in the coming years.
Water Valley
This is really two neighborhoods. The area stretching south of Downtown to Crossroads Boulevard is a popular neighborhood for old and new Windsor residents. Water Valley neighborhoods provide access to an amazing golf course, lakes, and more. Full of beautiful houses, along with upscale apartment and rental options, this neighborhood is walkable, with many new businesses and services coming in all the time.
Windsor Lake/Boardwalk Park
Boardwalk Park, surrounding Windsor Lake, is a major attraction. Many of the recreational and artistic events in town, such as the exciting Oktoberfest and the Windsor Wonderland celebrations in the fall and winter are held here, making this area a cultural hub and rapidly-growing neighborhood. Boardwalk Park alone is enough to attract many new residents to the neighborhood, with large gathering places, playgrounds, open space, and, of course, water access.
Highland Meadows
Northern Colorado movers and residents alike acknowledge the beauty of this neighborhood, with its beautiful homes and views of the Rocky Mountains to the west. There are many natural areas in this part of Windsor, with access to the Cache la Poudre River and the Jodee Reservoir, in the Frank State Wildlife Area. This neighborhood is perfect for families and offers a quiet oasis in a growing urban center.
Windshire Park
Located northwest of Downtown, this quiet neighborhood still offers access to many of Downtown’s attractions. There are many upscale homes in this neighborhood, with new construction adding housing options to the neighborhood all the time. If you’re looking for a perfect, safe place to live, the Windshire Park area (the park itself complete with basketball courts, open fields, playgrounds, and picnic areas), is an excellent choice.
