Neighbourhood of Interest: Walkerville

(Note: This post was written by Laurel Regan and originally published in a separate blog called “Why Windsor…”, which was later merged with Alphabet Salad.)

As I investigate the various areas of Windsor, Walkerville is consistently named as a neighbourhood with much character and a distinct sense of history and community. Not having seen the place myself I can’t say, but what I’ve discovered so far seems pretty appealing.

So, any Windsorites care to weigh in with opinions?

Thanks so much for sharing your opinion on the neighbourhood – it's great to get that kind of info from someone who actually lives there!

Meeting people is difficult, I know… I'm working on some strategies for doing so once we've moved.

My husband grew up in a quiet Walkerville neighbourhood. Therefore we are planning to move back to the same area.
So great for walking. And the parks are amazing and beautiful! Yet, close to everything!
