Newer Cape Cods and Colonials

Homes in Windsor Forest tend to be newer dwellings built on larger lots than other Florence neighborhoods. “They have very nice houses and are pretty economically priced,” McMillan says. Housing styles are a mixed bag, with Colonials and Cape Cods among the many types of construction in the area. Prices usually range from around $400,000 for a house of 2,900 square feet or less on a half-acre corner lot, to $800,000 for a home exceeding 3,500 square feet, with several bedrooms and amenities like a pool and deck. Narrow roadways leave little room for street parking; however, driveways and garages are standard. Towering oaks are among the trees scattered throughout the area.
