Windsor

Situated smack dab in the middle of the three major northern Colorado communities (Ft. Collins, Greeley, and Loveland) is Windsor. Once a sleepy little town with one little main street, few services, and limited housing, Windsor has become a boom-town—a going concern. Its population has doubled in the past decade and is projected to double again in the next decade.

This unprecedented growth is a result of an established and thriving business community led by large corporations such as Eastman Kodak, Tenneco Packaging, University Photo Products and ICON industries, which have all found a home in Windsor, as well as a solid base of small local businesses. Also the quality and value of housing has led to an influx of residents who prefer a smaller, quieter community to live in and can easily commute to work in nearby towns.

Education

Weld County RE-4 School District of Windsor has a total of 2,943 students enrolled at 4 elementary schools, 1 charter school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Go Wizards!  Windsor is less than a half-hour away from Colorado State University in Ft. Collins. and the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley.

Recreation

Three world-class golf courses -- and accompanying golf-based communities--have recently been built in Windsor, and attract golf enthusiasts from throughout the region. Windsor Parks and Recreation Department oversees several parks and more are planned. In fact, the 59 acres of developed parks will be nearly tripled in the coming years. Such growth befits a prosperous, forward thinking town such as Windsor. Walking and biking trails are plentiful as are baseball/softball diamonds and open space areas. There is a community owned outdoor swimming pool and two outdoor in-line skating/hockey rinks.

As with all Front Range communities, Windsor is within easy driving distance of Colorado’s famous Rocky Mountains and all of the outdoor activities that are available there.
