Windsor Colorado is a great place to live for many reasons. People move to Windsor because of the great weather, proximity to the mountains and obviously, Windsor’s small town feel. I’ve noticed that when people think about moving to Windsor, they often ask what different areas look like. With that in mind, I made the following video to give you a bicycle tour of Windsor neighborhoods. In this video, we tour Windshire.

The Windshire neighborhood in Windsor, Colorado is located on the Northwest side of town. It is conveniently located behind King Soopers and other Windsor shopping areas. It’s close to High Hops Brewery & Heart Distillery which are on the west side of Windsor’s Main Street. This means residents living in Windshire have easy access to grocery stores and evening entertainment.

The Windshire neighborhood has an HOA and a neighborhood swimming pool. The homes are newer, mostly built in the last 4 or 5 years. You’ll find 3, 4 and 5 bedroom homes throughout the neighborhood with 2 or 3 car garages. In 2023, homes in Windshire are selling for $500,000 to $650,000.

This is one of Windsor‘s best neighborhoods for young families. Not only does the neighborhood have a community pool and a large park with a playground, but it’s a short walk or bike ride to Grandview Elementary School. Plus, the brand new middle school is being built near this area.

When it comes to commuting, Windshire is actually in a good spot for accessing I-25 or commuting to Fort Collins or Loveland for work. Being on the west side of town means that you avoid the traffic delays that happen on Windsor’s Main Street. It’s also easy to head north on the county road to get to Harmony Road for easy access to Fort Collins.

Whether you are currently living in Windsor, CO or planning a move to Windsor, you are probably wondering what is there to do in Windsor, Colorado? While there are a lot of fun things to do around Windsor and all of Northern Colorado, on this post we are going to talk about outdoor recreational opportunities including the City of Windsor Bike Trail.

Windsor is a bike-friendly town. There are bike lanes through-out downtown Windsor and through many neighborhoods. But, perhaps the best bike-friendly thing about Windsor, Colorado is the bike trail and recreational bike trail through the city. 

As, I’ve mentioned before, Windsor Lake is situated right in the middle of town, just steps off of main street. There is a bike trail all the way around Windsor Lake (almost 2.5 miles). From there, you can head east and catch the Great Western Bike Trail on the east side of Windsor and bike or walk through Severance all the way to Eaton.

Or, from the west side of Windsor Lake, follow the trail all the way west through town to the River Bluffs Open Space and Catch the Poudre River Trail.
