Hayden’s homes
Houses tend to follow Cape Cod, Colonial Revival and raised ranch-style architecture. Most were built in the 1980s, though it’s not uncommon for 18th century Colonial houses to enter the market. Many parcels are above 10,000 square feet, some spanning an acre or more. This is a bit bigger than what can be found directly across the Farmington River, where lots tend to fall between 7,000 and 10,000 square feet. The proximity to downtown Windsor and the larger size of lots contribute greatly to Hayden’s popularity. “I’ll put a listing up on Friday, send my clients away for a weekend, and by the time they come back, the house is already under contract after getting five or six offers,” Stone says. “The market is banging right now.”

Enjoying fresh air and Airsoft
Northwest Park can be found in none other than the northwest corner of Windsor. This behemoth of a green space spans nearly 500 acres and features hiking trails, a dog park and a nature center with barn animals. For some green space closer to home, residents can visit Lancaster Park in the north end of Hayden, offering picnic tables, a basketball court and an open field for sports or just running around. When locals are looking for an adrenaline-filled yet safe adventure, they might head over to Tactical Airsoft, which boasts New England’s largest indoor airsoft arena.Windsor Public Schools
Pre-K through second grade students can attend Oliver Ellsworth School before moving up to John F. Kennedy School for third through fifth grade. They can finish up at Sage Middle School and Windsor High School. Oliver Ellsworth School receives an A from Niche while Windsor High is B-plus-rated and John F. Kennedy School and Sage Middle earn B-minus ratings. Students at Windsor High can take classes in 12 career cluster pathways such as architectural and construction; health science; and marketing.

The Shad Derby and other events
“We have a longstanding tradition on the third Saturday of every May called The Shad Derby,” Stone says. “The whole weekend and the weekends leading up are filled with events like a big art show by the Lion’s Club and a Friday night fishing event where kids get donated poles and go fishing in ponds. There’s also ball where they crown a Shad Derby Queen who receives a scholarship.” The town is filled with other events too. “My favorite event is the firetruck parade where emergency personnel do a big parade with decorated fire trucks and even landscaping trucks,” Stone says. “And Santa comes on the last truck, throws candy and takes pictures with the kids.”
Near the interstate, the airport and the railroad
Interstate 91 runs along the northwest side of the neighborhood, delivering residents to Hartford and Springfield, Massachusetts in under 20 minutes. Bradley International Airport is about a 15-minute drive away. The Windsor train station is just south of the neighborhood. Lines include Amtrak and the CTrail.Eating out in Windsor
Residents on the south side of Hayden might head over to Geissler’s Supermarket for shopping, while residents in the north can go to Stop & Shop. The building that the Union Street Tavern operates out of has gone from the town firehouse to the town stomping ground, serving up delicious pub-style burgers with a side of live music on select nights. For a hearty brunch or breakfast, locals might go to Dom’s Broad Street Eatery down the road. From meatloaf omelets to crab cake eggs benedicts, their menu is sure to tantalize locals’ tastebuds. And if they’re in a rush and only have time for the coffee, residents can swing by The Bean @226.

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. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
