Sidewalks and tree-lined blocks encourage strolls to neighborhood cafés and playgrounds, while a mix of well-kept mid-century homes and thoughtful new construction offers options for many budgets and lifestyles.

The Windsor Heights Community Center anchors festivals, markets, and private gatherings, and families love the playgrounds and open space at Colby Park.
