What we've learned about Windsor
Windsor is young. It only incorporated in 1992, and the Town Green that the town is now arranged around was built from scratch in the late nineties rather than inherited from the nineteenth century. The housing followed: subdivisions off Starr Road and Hembree Lane, apartments and townhomes beside the Green, and a steady run of family homes going up through the 2000s on what used to be orchard and pasture.
New housing is not the same as easy housing. Open-plan main floors mean a single continuous run of hard flooring instead of a series of small rooms, and that takes longer than people expect. Two-story plans put all the bedrooms upstairs with carpet, so the vacuum goes up and down. Vaulted entries need a reach pole for the light fitting and the top of the door casing. Straightforward work, but not quick work.
Windsor homes, structurally
Typical Windsor houses are 1,600 to 2,600 square feet over two floors, built between 1990 and 2010, with slab foundations, dual-pane windows and attached garages that open directly into the kitchen or a mudroom. Downstairs is usually tile, laminate or engineered wood in one connected sweep; upstairs is carpet. Bathroom counts run high, with two and a half or three common. Many streets fall under an HOA. Late summer pushes vineyard dust onto screens and patio doors, and July and August get genuinely hot.
