Suburb profile
Windsor is a welcoming smaller community in Adelaide Plains, with a settled community character. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with plenty of young families in the mix.
Housing remains accessible compared with many parts of the state. Community life feels grounded and local, with residents who tend to know their neighbourhood well.
A trickle of new development is refreshing selected pockets without changing the overall feel.
