Windsor Village
Modest, well-maintained mid-century homes
Throughout Windsor Village, established trees line sidewalks that connect small front yards. Many lawns are trimmed in decorative fencing or a patio paver and brick surrounds. Driveways are small; however, garages are common and street parking is plentiful. Single-level homes mostly built in the 1960s fill the neighborhood, maintaining a consistent midcentury style. Knoll says prices depend on a lot of factors. "It's offer and demand; the real estate market is very lean, and there's a lot of buyers out there.” Two- to four-bedroom homes range from about $700,000 to $950,000. To the north, condominiums and townhouses from the early 2000s are priced at around $750,000.

SAUSD Schools, B-grade Valley High
Public schools are within the Santa Ana Unified School District, which Niche gives an overall B-plus. Kids can start at Andrew Jackson Elementary, which gets a C-plus grade on Niche. Students may then move on to Lydia Romero-Cruz Academy through eighth grade, given a C by Niche. Older students advance to Valley High, which earns a B grade from Niche and features standout Career Tech Ed programs, including Culinary Arts and Automotive Technology. Students can also apply via lottery system to attend the Advanced Learning Academy in Santiago which also gets a B from Niche.

Near Centennial Regional Park
In the heart of Windsor Village, the 10-acre Windsor Park is a recreational cornerstone. Residents can walk across the street, or from backyards to meet at the playground, enjoy a picnic, go for a run, or walk dogs. Local athletes play baseball, tennis or basketball on Windsor Park’s courts and fields. On the southern end of the community, the nearly 70-acre Centennial Regional Park sits next to the Santa Ana College School of Continuing Education. It features a popular paved loop that meanders around a man-made lake. The sandy playground with ship-theme play equipment overlooks the lake. Amenities include the Dan Young Soccer Complex, a turf football field and a packed running track. A well-designed skate park here was recently renamed Pat McGuigan Skate Park to honor former City Councilmember Patricia McGuigan, who advocated for the park’s construction in 2002. Walkers, runners and bikers can also connect with the 60-mile Santa Ana River Trail that runs along Centennial Park.

Shakey's, markets and nearby cocina
Small shops, casual eateries, and bakeries are all close to home, including Shakey’s Pizza Parlor and Dios Del Maiz Yun Katz Tortilleria — a go-to for Mexican grocery staples. Plus, it's only about 5 miles to the South Coast Plaza, a premier shopping destination with over 250 stores. The Santa Ana Zoo is a quick, 5-mile drive east, and all the oceanfront fun at Newport or Huntington Beach is within 10 miles. Says Knoll, “There’s a brand-new restaurant in the area, Three Roots Mexican Cocina, that’s already so popular. It’s very family-oriented, and locals love to have birthdays, quinceaneras, and executive meetings there. They offer cumbia and mariachi music on Fridays and free salsa lessons on Saturdays.”

Independence Day and Food Expo festivities
Residents from Windsor Village and surrounding communities look forward to the Fourth of July celebration in Centennial Regional Park. “And besides all the football games at Centennial Park,” adds Knoll, “we look forward to celebrating Mexican Independence Day in September and the Taste of Santa Ana Food Expo in October.”OCTA public transit stops
Orange County Transportation Authority provides public transit from South Fairview Avenue in Windsor Village to John Wayne Airport, which is only around 7 miles from home.
