If you feel torn between your love of Baltimore and your desire for life in a sleepy town, Windsor Hills might be the balance you’re looking for. Lamont Jude, an agent with Samson Properties, describes Windsor Hills as “a little oasis with tranquil, quiet living.” A neighborhood grown from seeds sown by the earliest forms of public transit, Windsor Hills maintains the peaceful charm of its past. While you no longer hear the clopping of horses along the streets, you experience the calm of suburban living with the heart of Baltimore only minutes away.

Along each street, find well-manicured lawns, each divided by a stone or concrete path leading to the front door. Trees offer a shady canopy above homes and make the neighborhood feel far from the city. Colonial-, cottage- and ranch-style houses make up most of the neighborhood, each featuring a concrete driveway or garage for off-street parking. Homes range from $305,000 to $405,000, with most homes between 2,000 and 2,500 square feet.

When school is in session, students can attend Windsor Hills Elementary/Middle School before selecting their high school. The nearest high school is Forest Park, a recently renovated school that offers a college discovery program for underclassmen and dual enrollment options for upperclassmen.

For a short trip to the playground, visit Windsor Hills Park. Tucked between homes and surrounded by trees, this small park epitomizes the neighborhood’s natural beauty and serene atmosphere. As longer adventures beckon you, enjoy 1,200 acres of woodlands at Gwynn Falls/Leakin Park. Every Saturday, put on your running shoes and join the Leakin Park Parkrun—a free weekly 5k. In spring, attend the Baltimore Herb Festival, an ongoing tradition for over 35 years that raises money to preserve a historic chapel in the park.

Want to break out your nine iron? Grab your gear and head to Forest Park Golf Course, less than two miles away. With a variety of leagues available, enjoy friendly competition and strengthen your skillset alongside other community members.

If your stomach is growling, order fried chicken legs and mac and cheese from Georgia Peach, a southern-style restaurant with a contemporary interior. Only a hop, skip and a jump from Security Square Mall, this restaurant makes for a great stop before filling your shopping bags at Burlington, Finish Line, and Macy’s.

When it’s time to stock up on groceries, scope out the best deals and take your pick from an array of stores within six miles of the neighborhood. Find stores like Walmart, Giant, Aldi, Lidl, Safeway, and Sam’s Club located off Route 40. For your home improvement needs, stop by Harbor Freight or Home Depot.

Whether commuting to work or looking for a night out, Windsor Hills makes it easy to get to your destination. “It’s a direct connection to Downtown,” Jude explains. For long trips, take Interstate 70 to Frederick or Interstate 695 to Towson. For public transit around the city, catch the bus on Clifton Rd.

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city without compromising convenience in Windsor Hills.

My family has been living here since the community was first developed back n the 90's. Very quiet and friendly neighborhood, everyone pretty much knows one another. The stores aren't too far away, some even being walking distance. I love this neighborhood and am very happy to be apart of it.
