Windsor Gardens Reviews
- linda e.|August 18, 2019There are currently more sellers than buyers
HOA is high but it includes taxes. All you pay is water and cable.
I must leave this wonderful community. I love the neighbors and the
staff at Windsor Gardens. In my opinion, the board should have cut
expenses in any way possible because the HOA's are the reason for so
many units for sale.
That being said, it is still the best value per square foot in the Denve area. - Curent R.|August 1, 2018Windsor gardens is an absolutely terrible investment. They yearly raise HOA fees by 10 % local relator have advised me that if this continues it will utterly destroy home values because potential new buyers will not invest in condos with extremely high HOA Fees. Also the private police force only harasses residents there. Management does not live in Windsor gardens so they don't care how much money seniors have to paid there. They are exploiting senior citizens. Board of directors does nothing to stop increasing HOA fees. DON'T BUY A WINDSOR CONDO! Do not waste your money on Windsor Gardens property.
- Diana (Resident/Homeowner)|January 4, 2015Windsor Gardens are often referred to as the best kept secret in Denver for retirement. Certainly, the least expensive. It's 50 year age may be a draw back for some, and the plumbing is not set up for laundry in individual but many of the units are being renovated with beautiful results. The level of care to the grounds and gardens in the summer and the quick snow removal in the winter is also impressive.
For those who like to take long walks or bike rides, the Canal Trail runs right behind Windsor Gardens and is wooded and complete with wildlife. Stores and shopping are within a mile and Public Bus lines run through the Gardens.
My mother moved in first. I saw how reasonable cost was so I moved in while I am still working to save more for retirement. I was astounded to find how many people have been here for over 20+ years and love it! They wouldn't dream of going elsewhere. Many younger retirees are on their way in, so it shouldn't be a drawback to those who want a younger crowd. They're here too.
The amenities are very good, and people are friendly and warm. I don't golf, but many people do, and say it's a nice course.
We have plays, movie night, and so many things to do and trips to take. Unless your a recluse, there's plenty to do, and fun to had. - Anthony H.|September 10, 2014I visited Windsor Gardens because someday I would like to retired there. Soon I arrived to see some condos I fell in love with this place. The people were nice and the area was clean and beautiful. peace and quiet all around.
- Susan L.(Resident/Homeowner)|June 11, 2013I have been at Windsor Gardens for a few years now and have really enjoyed it. I got a really great deal on my home and was able to stick within my tight budget. The location is nice and keeps me just a short trip from my two grandkids. I have tried out a lot of the clubs and have met a lot of wonderful women and made lots of new friends.
