The neighborhood took off when Windsor Gardens, a 55+ active adult community, was established between 1962 and 1973. Since then incoming “Windsords” find home in condominium towers, luxury communities and traditional houses that have continued to pop up around Windsor Lake.
Windsor Gardens is an active, adult community.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data.

I really like Windsor. It is small, has a great community, and my family loves it. We love suburban life. We feel like we are close by to larger towns such as Fort Collins or even Denver but are tucked away in a quieter area. There seem to be a lot of kids here and we like that. The schools are highly rated also.

I just recently moved into this apartment complex, and as I am pleased with my actual apartment and the environment of the complex, I don't think I will be re-signing my lease after the 12 months are up. I am looking for something a little more high quality and closer to my job.
