Why Live in Windsor

Windsor, North Carolina is a small river town along the Cashie River with a walkable downtown, rural surroundings and a slower pace of life. The population skews older, and there is limited housing turnover, so not many homes tend to be on the market at once. Most homes are ranch-style or manufactured houses on quiet streets and country roads, with some early 1900s Greek Revival, National and Craftsman bungalows downtown, especially along King Street. Some properties sit close together on narrow streets with neat lawns and mature trees, while others have over an acre of land, and there are also low-rise apartments and rental homes. Downtown Windsor has county administration buildings alongside locally owned businesses and restaurants, including Rachel’s Bakery and Café, Lasca’s Italian Restaurant and Heritage House Restaurant, with grocery options like Food Lion and Family Dollar in town and a Walmart in nearby Williamston. Livermon Park and Mini Zoo, the Cashie Wetlands Walk, the Cashie River Boardwalk and the Roanoke Cashie River Center give residents several outdoor things to do, from kayaking and boat rentals to picnics and community events like Windsor Riverfest and the July 4th Celebration. Bertie Early College High is a highly rated public school focusing on biotechnology and agriscience. Windsor is car-dependent, with U.S. Route 17 connecting to Williamston about 13 miles away, Edenton about 22 miles away and Greenville about 42 miles away, and residents need to be mindful of high-risk flood zones and hurricane-related impacts.
