Windsor
Suburban Neighborhood in Newport News, Virginia
Newport News County 23608
Established styles on wooded lots
Along Windsor’s wide residential streets, many established styles of home are present. Among the most common types of home in the neighborhood are ranch styles, split levels and colonial revivals, though a variety of other traditional styles can be found. Townhouses are also found throughout the area. Thanks to the neighborhood’s more spaced-out nature, homeowners can take advantage of large, leafy lots that allow for sizeable yards – a fact that lends the neighborhood no shortage of curb appeal, with mature trees standing tall on well-tended lawns. “Thanks to the large military population in the area, you have a really diverse range of neighbors,” says Kelly DeLucia, Realtor with KW Allegiance. “From first-time buyers to people who have lived there for decades, the neighborhood is just a really great spot for so many people.” Prices for a townhouse typically start around $100,000 and reach as high as $250,000, while single-family homes range from $250,000 to $375,000.
Newport News Park has a bit of everything
Those looking to appreciate the area’s natural beauty have ample opportunity to do so at Newport News Park – a feature that many consider the best part of life in the area. “Newport News Park is an absolute staple of the community,” says DeLucia. “There’s so much to do, and the community loves to gather there.” The park is over 8,000-square-foot and features miles of hiking trails and a hard-packed, gravel bike loop over 5 miles long. Residents can play disc golf on its 18-hole championship course or go fishing in one of its reservoirs. The park is also an excellent spot for camping, featuring over 188 campsites – with canoes and kayaks available to rent, too. Younger residents can enjoy the Newport News Park Playground, which offers them an immersive play experience.
Get a head start in the arts at Woodside High
Students in the neighborhood begin at Richneck Elementary and Ella Fitzgerald Middle, both of which earn grades of C-plus according to Niche. After, students finish up at B-plus rated Woodside High. Woodside High is renowned for its Arts and Communications program, an intensive magnet curriculum that centers around visual arts, theatre, and music and dance.Windsor Great Park makes summertime special
During the summertime, residents of Windsor flock to the Windsor Great Park pool to cool off and spend some time with friends. This membership-based community pool has its own swim team – The Waves – and hosts events like bingo nights and splash parties throughout the warmer months.
Interstate 264 access makes commuting simple
Residents of Windsor have convenient access to Interstate 264, making commuting simple. For the military population and those that work on base, Fort Eustis sits just over 6 miles away from the neighborhood. Newport News Shipbuilding, another large employer in the area, is just 17 miles away. Residents are also able to quickly reach Denbigh Boulevard and Jefferson Avenue, while those looking for a fun day trip are less than 10 miles from Historic Yorktown. Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport sits just 2 miles outside the neighborhood.
Jefferson Avenue features big name and local favorites
Jefferson Avenue serves as the area’s commercial hub, with favorites like T.J. Maxx and Kohl’s scratching the retail itch. Home essentials can be picked up at Lowe’s, while residents can restock their pantries at Food Lion. For African grocery items and specialties, nearby Ubbego African Supermarket is the go-to spot. Locals looking for a bite to eat can find one at Cazadores Mexican Grill Carniceria, which serves up authentic Mexican cuisine and margaritas. Angie’s Café offers a strong start to the day with espresso and Puerto Rican treats like pastelillios.
