About Windsor Heights

Windsor Heights is a cozy community sitting right in the center of the Des Moines metro. Home to around 5,000 residents, it combines quiet residential living with easy access to nearby amenities. Neighborhoods are filled with established mid-century homes and mature shade trees, and a central location along Interstate 235 makes trips to downtown Des Moines or the western suburbs quick and simple.

Colby Park serves as the local hub, hosting outdoor concerts, community events, and direct connections to the regional trail network. Depending on which side of 70th Street you live on, students are zoned for either the West Des Moines Community School District or Des Moines Public Schools. Bordered by Des Moines, West Des Moines, Clive, and Urbandale, it is a great spot for anyone looking for a friendly neighborhood with an effortless commute.
