Area Guide

Windsor sits at Canada’s southern edge as the country’s southernmost city centre. Life moves at a relaxed pace, supported by extensive green space—about 3,000 acres across roughly 180 parks, trails, and bike-friendly streets. Jackson Park becomes especially magical during the winter Bright Lights display. Downtown Windsor features walkable streets, riverfront paths, and cultural venues like the Art Windsor–Essex gallery.

Neighbourhoods such as Walkerville and Riverside offer historic charm and waterfront living along a five-kilometre park system beside the Detroit River. Rentals range from high-rise towers and loft-style units to townhome-style layouts, many with modern amenities.

The city is home to the University of Windsor, Canada’s southernmost university, and remains a key border city tied to Detroit via the Ambassador Bridge.
