An established neighborhood in flux

Formerly an outlying suburb, the East Austin neighborhood of Windsor Park is becoming transformed by a wave of development. New homes and apartment complexes are coming to town, homebuyers attracted to the neighborhood’s proximity to other parts of Austin and shopping centers, as the commercial district at the center of the neighborhood shrinks and shifts nearer to the highways. But despite this change, plenty of constancy remains on the streets of Windsor Park, like residents’ longstanding commitment to sticking with and bettering the community. “It’s a very stable neighborhood with a lot of activists,” says Jeanette Swenson, president of the Windsor Park Neighborhood Association and 17-year resident of the community. “There are a few people who have lived here since they got their houses in the ‘50s and ‘60s.”

Older ranch homes and contemporary designs

Windsor Park was first developed as a suburb at the edge of Austin in the mid-1950s and early ‘60s. Many of these original three-bedroom ranch-style homes still stand, and plenty have been thoughtfully remodeled, keeping home values high. They tend to span between 1,000 and 1,500 square feet. Plenty of newer constructions have been built, especially on the east side, taking the form of two-story homes with contemporary influences spanning 2,000 square feet. Home prices tend to hover around $600,000, plus or minus $50,000. Most of the neighborhood’s quiet, tree-shaded streets don’t have sidewalks, though they can be found, along with bike lanes, on Berkman Drive, a main artery which splits the neighborhood in half.

Education and community scholarships

Blanton Elementary School is centrally located within Windsor Park, less than a mile away from most homes. Kids might then move up to Lamar Middle School before joining their peers at Northeast Early College High School. Blanton and Lamar have received A-minus ratings from Niche while Northeast has a B-minus. “The neighborhood association has offered $1,000 scholarships to graduates of our high schools,” Swenson says. “We’ve given out 83, all funded by neighborhood residents.” Graduates have used this money to attend universities across Texas and the US. Northeast High students can participate in the school’s early college program and earn a tuition-free associate degree in General Studies, dual enrolling at Austin Community College. ACC’s Highland campus is located a mile northwest of Windsor Park.

Windsor Park loves parks indeed

Bartholomew District Park is a sprawling 53-acre green space in the south of Windsor Park. There are enough amenities to keep parkgoers occupied for days, from baseball diamonds to a roller derby track to an 18-hole disc golf course, the oldest currently existing course in Texas. During the dog days of summer, children can cool off at the park’s splash pad or Bartholomew Municipal Pool, which offers recreational and lap pools and two water slides. Alternatively, in the north, residents might visit the newly constructed Pomerleau Pocket Park, which features a playground and pavilion.

Community-focused events

The Windsor Park Neighborhood Association throws several annual events, one such being the December Holiday Party. “It’s a chance for people to socialize, and for several years, they have given out neighborhood hero awards for people who have done unexpected and valuable things for the community,” Swenson says. Individuals have received awards in the past for publishing a list of local mental health resources and initiating a local Halloween carnival.

It is a great neighborhood to live in. Somewhat unsafe at night. Theft is common in my neighborhood. The commute to downtown Austin is short and simple

The gentrification of the neighborhood is raising prices and homes are getting torn down and rebuilt in the neighborhood to make it more "white people friendly".
