Lakefront living and country club recreation are a part of everyday life in Water Valley. Just 2 miles south of Downtown Windsor, the neighborhood features modern architecture and private lots on the edge of Weld County farmland. Distant views of the snow-capped Rocky Mountains lie to the west, while riverside trails and dozens of local eateries are typically within a five-minute drive. “Water Valley is a very active community,” says Liz Grosul, a former neighborhood resident and Realtor with Keller Williams Realty. “It’s rare to drive through the area and not see locals out walking dogs, biking or paddleboarding on one of the lakes.”

Minimal through traffic allows for quiet, walkable streets, with well-maintained sidewalks throughout the community.

Nearby eateries on Eastman Park Drive and in Downtown Windsor

Eastman Park Drive is home to a small selection of eateries, including Gyros & Falafel Grill and Luna’s Tacos & Tequila. A short drive north, Downtown Windsor has dozens of locally owned businesses, such as the Windsor Mill Tavern, which serves pub fare and specialty cocktails. Nearby, Windsor Lake Coffee has soups, sandwiches, baked goods and ice cream on the menu. “You really don’t need to leave Water Valley for anything,” Grosul says. “It has everything from parks and trails to a gym, a bank and a dentist’s office. The only downside is we don’t have our own grocery store within the neighborhood.” For groceries and household essentials, King Soopers and Safeway are both just west of downtown.
