As with the neighbouring suburb of Wilston, Windsor is home to a number of professionals working in the health industry due to the proximity of the Royal Brisbane Hospital. Also attractive to buyers is Windsor's access to excellent public transport. A trip into the city from Windsor train station will take residents less than 15 minutes. Regular bus routes offer similarly timed services for residents not in close proximity to the train station. Source: REIQ
Windsor offers buyers a selection of housing styles, in a variety of price ranges. The popularity of the suburb is largely due to its proximity to the city, which has caused an increase in demand for homes in the area and, in turn, significant price growth. In keeping with the style of the suburb, many of its historic homes are being bought and renovated to their former glory. Source: REIQ
There are private and public schools in surrounding suburbs, which cater to primary and secondary students, with Windsor State School being the only school within the suburb's boundaries. Source: REIQ
Leisure parks such as Keith Beavis Oval and the Windsor Bowling Club, and walkways running alongside Enoggera Creek offer residents a break from the major traffic of Lutwyche Road, which divides the suburb in half. Downey Park and Ballymore are also nearby in Wilston. Source: REIQ
Land was first sold in this remote part of then New South Wales in 1854 and development was slow until the opening of the Bowen Bridge in 1860, named after the newly arrived first governor of Queensland, Sir George Bowen, allowing easier access to the district. At that time the district was known as Breakfast Creek or Upper Breakfast Creek. Distinctive homes including Rosemount, Oakwal, The Bower, Wilston House and Eildonwere built on large portions of land.
In 1864, pioneer settlers approached the Government for aid to establish a local school. "The Bowen Bridge Road National School" consisted of a simple wooden building and headmaster's house erected on a stone foundation and opened on 17 July 1865 on Bowen Bridge Road, adjacent to Thondley's Farm. Sixteen students enrolled for the first day and by the end of the first year, 112 students were on the register. In 1915, the school transferred across the road and was renamed "Windsor State School". After World War I, the original school and headmaster's house was demolished and the land developed as the Windsor Memorial Park upon which a war memorial was constructed. Source: Wikipedia
The local retail stores in the area are supplemented by larger retail chains in Lutwyche Shopping Centre and slightly further away in the Stafford City and Brookside Shopping Centres. Source: REIQ
