Best Neighborhoods in Windsor

Windsor has quickly become one of the most popular communities in Northern Colorado. The city of 40,000 has been making waves since the 1990s with new shops and restaurants, new housing developments, and plenty of beautiful outdoor spaces to explore. 

While there are a lot of great areas to purchase a home in Windsor, here are some of Black Bear Real Estate's personal neighborhood recommendations. If you're looking to buy a home in Windsor, give our real estate agency a call and get the local market experts on your side.

If you want to enjoy Colorado’s gorgeous sunshine, you won’t find a better spot than Water Valley. Situated just south of downtown Windsor, the neighborhood includes five artificial lakes, allowing some residents to have beachfront property. A robust system of walking trails circle the lakes and nearby golf course. You can also access the longer Poudre Trail, a 45-mile route that connects the cities of Fort Collins, Timnath, Windsor, and Greeley.

Raindance

One of the newest neighborhoods in Windsor combines the joys of rural living while still remaining within the borders of the city. Raindance is surrounded by orchards, corn fields, and even pumpkin patches. All of these natural elements add to the modern farmhouse aesthetic of many of the new houses built in the area. 

For water lovers and young families, Raindance offers a huge swimming complex with a slide, multiple pools, and plenty of lounging chairs. There is also a state-of-the-art fitness club with various classes offered. 

Greenspire

Just north of Windsor Lake is the neighborhood of Greenspire. This is that neighborhood that will make all your kids’ classmates jealous once summer vacation hits. Greenspire is regarded as a particularly safe neighborhood for kids and families, with lake access and a dog park close by for pet owners who want their pooch to get plenty of exercise.

Downtown 

Windsor’s small but mighty downtown is growing all the time with new shops, salons, and restaurants. Residents of the downtown area are able to easily walk to some of the most beloved spots in town. There’s Hearth Restaurant, with its delectable, unique pizzas and Chimney Park: an upscale restaurant perfect for a date night. If you want a casual place to hang out for a while, you can’t beat the outdoor patio at Peculiar Ales, a brewery situated within a historic old mill. And below the brewery is the Windsor Mill Tavern, a well-reviewed, mid-priced American kitchen that offers daily specials.
