Why you'd want to live in East Windsor
East Windsor, Riverside area is the largest neighbourhood on the east end of Windsor. Most of the houses were built in the 1950s and some, especially along the river, are quite beautiful with tremendous historical and monetary value. The neighbourhood stretches from Ford Boulevard in the west, to Little River in the east, and from the Via/CN line along the south, to the Detroit River and Riverside Drive in the north. Riverside Drive has some of the most expensive and beautiful homes and real estate in the city. Currently it is used as a commuter thoroughfare but there are discussions in City Council to create bike lanes, speed restrictions and roundabouts at various intersections to deter through traffic. Riverside was once a separate town, incorporated in 1921, but was amalgamated into Windsor in 1966. Large new development which launched approximately 10 years ago, large portions of the land now caters to newer builds such as raise-ranches, ranches, and two storey homes. Forest Glade was one of Windsor's premiere model developments. It was "the place to be" in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is very much a mini-community, with a library, community centre, city bus, and a commercial plaza. The community was built in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Before then, it (as with the surrounding area) was mainly farmland. It is bordered by Lauzon Road to the West, E.C. Row Expressway to the South, Banwell Road to the East, and Tecumseh Road East to the North. Housing in the area consists mostly of owned single-family houses and apartment/condominium buildings, but exceptions do exist. Forest Glade is in close proximity to but does not include Tecumseh Mall. Fontainebleau is a large neighbourhood in the east end of Windsor. It consists of homes built mainly from the 1950s and 1960s, along with a large public housing townhouse complex along Rivard Avenue, Queen Elizabeth Drive, and Grand Street. It is bordered by Walker Road to the west, Lauzon Parkway to the east, E.C. Row Expressway along the south, and Tecumseh
