Windsor, Colorado SperlingViews

I have had the pleasure of living in Windsor for 4 1/2 years and really love it here. I have driven a school bus since I moved here so I have had quite a bit of access to the people of the town and in the surrounding areas. This is a great location to be living! The schools are very good, there are trails and paths for biking, walking, and running. There is a couple of nice sized lakes for swimming, fishing, boating, and being active around. It is a beautiful and friendly community. There truly is something for everyone to do here. There are many cultural events and family oriented activities. What you might not be able to find you can find in a neighboring community close by. With Fort Collins and Loveland within a half hour and Denver only an hour away, whatever your heart desires, you will find at your fingertips!

Great place to raise a family - 1/10/2012

Windsor, Colorado offers the best of small town living with the amenities of a big city very nearby. The school district is top notch. My oldest graduated from Windsor High School 2 years ago and did very well. She was very active in their wonderful music program. My youngest has been attending school in Windsor since Kindergarten and I'm very happy with the responsive, caring nature of the administration and the staff at each of the schools. The cost of living is really high here and there is a distinct lack of rentals or affordable housing of any type. I grew up in Fort Collins, which is about 12 mile northwest of Windsor, and enjoy the area very much. [read more...]

Happy I moved here - 4/6/2011

I moved here from WY, hoping to have better access to DIA and my family. I'm so happy I made the move. We don't have to worry about traffic jams and long lines in Windsor, yet we're 10-15 minutes from shopping in Fort Collins/Loveland/Greeley. People are nice. There are lots of recreational opportunites here, with nice lakes, nice trails and a good community rec. center. Schools are good and crime is low. I'm not sure what "Dean" is talking about regarding the schools. He must be confused on where he's posting about.[read more...]

Great place to live! - 4/14/2008

We moved to Windsor from Cheyenne, WY 5 years ago & we love it. Denver is about an hour south of us & we can be at DIA within an hour. We are also about 13-15 miles from Fort Collins (overated), Greeley & Loveland. We can be in Estes Park in about an hour also. My daughter commuted from home to Colorado State. Every time we go to Ft. Collins, we're so glad we live here instead. We can walk to the grocery store & pharmacy,dry cleaners & video store. People are generally friendly. Crime is low. Not sure where another reviewer thought schools were as bad as Arkansas, etc. Would love to see where they got their stats. Greeley, on the other hand does have major problems. Unfortunately, all around us is booming & population is growing , along with traffic. The weather can be extreme but we get a lot of sun, so I can handle it. The only thing I don't like about Colorado, in general, is the lack of decent public transportation. People out here love their SUV's & pickups & are aggresive drivers. Large number of people are from other states (30%)from California alone. This is a wonderful place to raise a family, if you can afford the housing! Kris[read more...]

If you have kids, you might want to move to a place with better public schools, such as Arkansas, Alabama, or Mississippi.[read more...]
