8 New Developments Coming to Windsor, CA

Eight new residential projects are moving through Windsor at the same time, from boutique new construction near Robbins Park to a 301-home master plan on the east side. Some are selling now. Others are approved but years out. Here is what is being built, who is building it, and what it is likely to cost.

Hummingbird Lane: boutique new construction near Robbins Park

Christopherson Builders is bringing 24 homes to 357 Cornell Street, near Robbins Park and a short drive from the Windsor Town Green. This is a builder with more than 45 years in Northern California, over 7,000 homes built, and a place in the California Builders Hall of Fame. Phase 1 lots are selling now, ahead of a summer 2026 grand opening, so buyers who come in early can still personalize finishes through the design studio. There are five floor plans, some with attached ADUs. Pricing runs from the high $600s for duet-style homes into the mid to high $800s for detached homes, with ADU plans in the low to mid $900s and future releases expected around $1.2 million.

Cora Creek: a rental community built around the SMART train

Cora Creek is a 106-unit apartment community approved for 8975 Conde Lane, inside the SMART station transit zone. The Windsor Planning Commission approved it in April 2025, a grading permit is issued, and groundbreaking is expected later this year. Parking is deliberately low because residents are meant to use the train. Developer Gallaher Companies planned two all-electric four-story buildings on Sonoma Clean Power, with a fitness room, sports courts, a pet park, and covered bike parking. It is a clear signal of the transit-first housing Windsor is now approving.

Old Redwood Highway Villages: modern attached homes, ready now

If the first two projects have you asking when, this one answers it. Ryder Homes has 29 attached homes under construction near Merner Drive and Old Redwood Highway, with some move-in-ready inventory already listed. The homes carry modern farmhouse, cottage, and craftsman styling, run from about 1,230 to 1,890 square feet, and are all three-bedroom. The HOA is around $298 a month and pricing starts near $700,000. The draw is location: walkable to downtown Windsor and the SMART station, with six homes offering flex or office space for remote workers. These are attached homes, so buyers who need separation should look elsewhere.

Maywood Lane: single-story luxury between Windsor and Healdsburg

On the east side of Windsor, near Chalk Hill Road, Schellinger Brothers is building eight custom single-story homes. Every home is single-level with cathedral ceilings and exposed beams, solar with backup batteries, commercial-grade appliances, and smart irrigation. Floor plans run from about 1,900 to 2,300 square feet with three to four bedrooms, priced from roughly $1.25 million to $1.3 million. There are only eight lots, and with the first closing happening this week, they should move quickly.

Redwood Glen Apartments: approved affordable housing with local history

Redwood Glen is a 43-unit affordable housing project approved for 8550 and 8560 Old Redwood Highway. The plan is fully electric with a community room, children's play area, and garden. The Planning Commission approved it back in 2022, entitlements are extended through late this year, but construction has not started, since affordable housing financing takes time. I include it because we represented the seller who sold the land for this project, which gives me a close view of how this stretch of Old Redwood Highway keeps changing behind the scenes.

Ross Ranch Estates: large-lot living on the east side

Ross Ranch Estates is a 31-lot subdivision on about 17 acres near Jensen Lane and Vinecrest Road. It was approved in 2023, final maps are in, and staff review is ongoing, so construction has not started. Lot sizes run from around 15,000 to 30,000 square feet, which is estate-level land in a county where lots are hard to find. There is a 100-foot agricultural buffer along the east and south edges, and a few lots may stay restricted for a while. This is the early-positioning play on the list, for a buyer who wants land, separation, and the patience to wait. If you are weighing land like this, it helps to understand what it costs to build in Sonoma County before you commit.

The Overlook: golf course custom lots, ready to build

The Overlook is a 12-lot custom subdivision at the corner of Windsor Road and Mitchell Lane, beside the Windsor Golf Club, with some marketing now showing 13 finished lots. Developer Phil Richardson has taken it through a long approval process, and the groundwork is done: improvements complete, utilities in, and building permits submitted for several lots. Lots range from about 10,000 to over 22,000 square feet along a private street with design guidelines that keep the look consistent. Unlike Ross Ranch, this one is ready to break ground now. You bring your plans and build the home you have pictured.

Quail Acres: the biggest project coming to Windsor

Everything above fits inside what is coming at Quail Acres, a 301-home master-planned community on about 59 acres near Arata Lane and Los Amigos Road. The Planning Commission approved it last year, and it rolls out in four phases over several years. The plan pairs a range of lot sizes with a community park, a linear park and trail, a plaza, and an oak preserve, plus new roads, a traffic signal, and protected bike lanes. Buyers who position early in master-planned communities, before the infrastructure is finished, often end up in a strong spot.

Why it matters for Windsor

Windsor already runs the SMART train. Now it is adding new roads, bike infrastructure, estate lots near vineyards, custom golf course homes, single-story luxury toward Healdsburg, and a master-planned community with parks and trails, all at once. That points to what Windsor wants to become: more connected, livable at different price points, and able to grow without losing what draws people here. For buyers, the range now runs from the high $600s to well over $1.2 million, so where you land depends on your price point and how you want to live. If you are seriously considering buying a home in Windsor, the differences between these projects matter more than the listings you scroll past, and neighborhoods like Lakewood Hills show how much the town's character can shift block to block.
