Rustic atmosphere and suburban comforts
Windsor Village is part of a collection of well-maintained suburban neighborhoods that cluster in Decatur’s northernmost region, adjacent to the neighboring village of Forsyth and the seemingly endless farmlands of central Illinois. As a result, many residential streets and culs-de-sac have a woodsy quality, with steady, tree-driven shade covering driveways and yards in the warmer months. However, this rustic atmosphere doesn’t keep residents far from amenities, and popular dining and retail spots are always right around the corner. With real estate prices well below the national average, Windsor Village has a well-established reputation as a family-friendly community.
Windsor Village offers a rustic atmosphere with big city amenities.

Extensive mid-century homes
Most homes are from the 1960s and '70s and tend toward mid-century designs like craftsman, split-level and ranch-style. Lawns are dotted with trees and foliage and tend to fall beneath a quarter of an acre. However, the homes themselves are frequently larger than the state average of 1,620 square feet. Prices start in the low $60,000s for older homes and those needing updates, and max out in the mid $200,000s as construction gets newer and better maintained.
Manicured lawns are prevalent in the Windsor Village area.

Small class sizes at Our Lady of Lourdes
