Windsor Park is one of Edmonton's most prestigious and historic neighborhoods, located directly north of the University of Alberta. Its development dates back to the early 20th century when it was primarily agricultural land. Over the decades, Windsor Park has transformed into a highly sought-after residential area, known for its affluent character and beautiful, mature landscapes. Today, the neighborhood is home to about 2,800 residents and features around 1,000 homes, according to census data. The close proximity to the university and the North Saskatchewan River valley makes Windsor Park a prime location for academics, professionals, and families who enjoy a quiet, upscale environment with easy access to urban amenities.
