Windsor Hills is a residential neighborhood of about 900 families. Located in west Baltimore City, the area features winding streets, mature trees, and homes well-spaced in a park-like setting. There is a playlot for children, an elementary school with a large grassy yard, a church, and the trail-head start of the Conservation Trail, which connects with the Gwynns Falls Trail in Leakin Park. The neighborhood combines the advantages of a serene setting with excellent access to the regional transportation system. |

We have a strong neighborhood association, Windsor Hills Neighbors, Inc., with a 30-member Board of Governors, which meets monthly except in July and December. The association includes all residents as members, and a newsletter is mailed to all residents nine times a year. Paid members may vote on issues, policies, and the budget. With a 105-year history of diversity (ethnic, economic, social, racial, family composition), where tolerance and acceptance are practiced daily, we strive to cooperate with our neighbors and nearby institutions, including Cahill Recreation Center, Greater Walbrook Coalition, Carrington House for recovering addicts, and Friends of Gwynns Falls/Leakin Parks, etc. |

Most of the homes are of detached design, and most are owner-occupied. The earliest houses were built just before 1900 as summer houses, when the trolley car line was extended out to Walbrook Junction. Most houses were constructed during the 1920s to 1940s. There are a few 2-, 3-, and 4-apartment houses, most of which are owner-occupied. There are 3 larger multi-family apartment buildings in the community, which add to the diversity of housing opportunities. |
