New Urbanism promotes the creation of diverse, mixed-use communities that are sustainable, connected and walkable. The seaside village of Windsor features architecture and landscape design that celebrates local history, climate, ecology, and traditional building practices. Windsor consists of the Village and the South Village, each street lined with charming homes, hidden courtyards and gardens. Expansive estates sit on the perimeter of the golf course and along the Atlantic shoreline.

At the heart of Windsor is The Village Centre, with a friendly Village Store, a Fitness Centre overlooking the Equestrian Centre, a post office, real estate office, Concierge office, the enchanting Village Suites and gardens, and the Exedra, Windsor’s outdoor amphitheatre.
