Windsor, Colorado, located less than an hour’s drive North of Denver, halfway between Greeley and Fort Collins, is home to approximately 15,000 residents. Ravaged in May of 2008 by a tornado, Windsor continues to rebuild itself as both a city and as a community. Expanding rapidly since then, Windsor has already emerged as one of Northern Colorado’s most desirable places to live. Offering unlimited outdoor activities, Windsor’s Parks and Recreation department’s claim to be the link to quality of life is backed by 200 acres of parks, over 40 miles of walking and biking trails, an outdoor swimming pool, a public skate park and several playgrounds. In addition, Windsor Lake provides an outlet for those interested in both motorized and non-motorized boating, offering boat rentals on site as well as a swimming beach and 2¼ miles of walking trails encompassing the lake. Programs offered by the Parks and Recreation department include adult classes ranging from cooking to martial arts, sports for 3 year old children up to adults, an affordable fitness program including various levels of Yoga and Pilates, and much more. On the South side of Windsor is a separate, unique community known as Water Valley, a resort-style residential area encompassing 5 lakes and the largest golf course of Northern Colorado. Lakefront views are a staple in this neighborhood, with most homes being no more than a few minute’s walk from beautiful sandy beaches or a relaxing game of golf. With new homes ranging from Condos, Patios, single family homes and large estates, and some starting in the upper 100,000’s, Water Valley is worth a look for any buyer looking to move in Northern Colorado. |
