Barely 10 minutes north of Hartford, Windsor stands as one of Connecticut’s most historic areas. Settled in the 17th century, Windsor has become a quaint, family-oriented town with an active community and friendly feel. The area’s largely residential feel is bolstered by its charming tree-lined streets and vibrant landscape. Those who want to be near Hartford but need a little more space or want access to amazing schools will find Windsor the perfect fit.

Windsor has plenty of chains and local shops dotted around the area, and there’s a great number of parks along the shores of the Connecticut River to explore as well. With train service to Hartford that frequently outpaces what the nearby I-91 and I-291 can achieve, this is a fantastic spot for commuters too.
