Bloomington neighborhood rich with recreation
Occupying a former cornfield, Winslow Farm is comprised of eight smaller micro-neighborhoods, all of which belong to the greater Winslow Farm Community Association. The architecture in each is distinct and ranges from single-family homes to townhouses and condo-style units — or “English flats,” as the community association calls them. Several outdoor and recreational amenities add to this neighborhood's appeal, including the 39-acre Winslow Woods Park and forest, which also features a community garden and an orchard. Nearby, there's also a multisport complex and an arena that hosts public ice-skating sessions for several months out of the year. “That’s where the suburban [setting] kind of starts. It’s right across the street from Bloomington High School South, which is one of the two big high schools here,” says Jim Stafford, owner of Stafford Real Estate. “You can literally walk from the subdivision, from one side of it, two or three blocks, to get to the YMCA. And by that there's also the Winslow Sports Park.”
You can walk from one side Winslow Farm to the other from Bloomington High School to the parks.
Winslow Woods Park offers trails, tennis, baseball, gardening and working out close to home.

Micro-neighborhoods with diverse housing types
Homes here sit along streets lined by groups of mature locust, pine and oak trees. Walking paths and narrow roads allow for relaxing strolls, while the neighborhood’s scenery also features some vintage streetlights, resting benches and ponds. With its construction starting in the 1990s, Winslow Farm showcases modern Traditional and Colonial Revival architectural designs. While the development has many single-family homes, it also offers townhouses, condos and paired patio style homes in the communities of Bayberry, Moss Creek and Moss Creek Village.
“When it started, it was one of the affordable subdivisions. Each of the [micro] neighborhoods are a little different than the others. They all have HOAs, but the fees in most of them are not very high,” Stafford says. Single-family homes her can sell from about $270,000 to nearly $450,000, while townhouses and condos run roughly between $200,000 and $300,000.

A 1-mile loop trail surrounds the park and also features a few fitness stations. The Winslow Woods Park is a relaxing spot with a playground. While the Frank Southern Ice Arena houses local youth hockey and figure skating programs and serves as the home of Indiana University’s hockey squads.
