Windsor is one of Northern Colorado’s fastest-growing towns. Located 58 miles north of Denver on I-25 and spanning 26 square miles between Fort Collins and Greeley, Windsor blends small-town charm with rapid, modern development. The community offers a number of standout amenities and features, including the great trails and recreation at Windsor Lake, nearly two dozen parks and the Poudre River Trail. On top of that, Windsor has an adorable downtown that is rapidly growing as the town increasingly stands out as an excellent place to live in northern Colorado.
Windsor may be slightly further away from the foothills compared to towns like Fort Collins or Loveland but that extra few minutes you may spend getting to the mountains is made up for by views of the snowcapped peaks beyond the foothills that are typically obscured from view in towns that are nestled right up against the foothills. Windsor’s economy thrives on green energy, manufacturing, and healthcare employers like Vestas and UCHealth. The town consistently lands on “Best Places to Live” lists for its low crime, excellent schools, and family-friendly events.
