Welcome to Windsor Hills

Close enough to Los Angeles to have a full view of its dazzling skyline and a mere 20 minutes from golden beaches, the unincorporated community of Windsor Hills — typically linked together with View Park — is a serene and walkable gem. It embodies the best of a quintessential suburb: its manicured landscapes and impressive homes are in perfect harmony with the quiet, idyllic lifestyle.

Windsor Hills is well-known for its affluence and rich history, dating back to its establishment in the early 20th century. Windsor Hills is flush with sophistication and beauty, designed to echo the glamorous atmosphere of famous neighborhoods like Bel-Air and Studio City. The neighborhood is replete with historic architecture and new developments alike, including the recent creation of a sleek condominium complex called The View at Overhill.

Windsor Hills and the adjacent View Park are revered for their spectacular homes, particularly their mansions designed in various styles. From Mediterranean dreamscapes and historic cottages to jaw-dropping Spanish Colonial homes in the hills and chic mid-century modern houses, there’s no lack of inspiring options for the discerning buyer.

The enviable central location of Windsor Hills enables its residents to access a multifaceted lifestyle. They’re close to beaches, commercial hubs, and sprawling natural preserves. Close to home, things remain subdued and peaceful, allowing locals to build their own retreat among the rolling hills.

Dining, Entertainment, & Shopping

Though Windsor Hills itself is a primarily residential neighborhood, the area surrounding it abounds in delectable restaurants and top-notch shopping options. Just five minutes north, the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza offers up its impressive bounty of stores and chain eateries for those needing a classic mall experience. Luxury lovers will love their proximity — less than 30 minutes — to the famed Rodeo Drive, which boasts dozens of elite brands like Prada, Versace, and Jimmy Choo.

There are also plenty of impeccable dining establishments along the outer edges of Windsor Hills, including those like Orleans & York along Crenshaw Boulevard just a few minutes north. Here, the deli traditions of New York City are blended with the bold flavors of New Orleans’ Creole cuisine for a one-of-a-kind dining experience.

Hungry locals will also love the abundance of great eats right in the heart of Windsor Hills. As one could expect, Simply Wholesome is a restaurant that focuses on gourmet health foods and all-organic vegan and vegetarian dishes. Sachi Teriyaki House is the go-to for lowkey Japanese fare, while the nightly jazz and Creole cuisine at La Louisanne have made it a community staple for gastronomes and entertainment seekers.

Things to Do

Among some of the most favored local amenities in Windsor Hills, the sloped and verdant Ladera Park is a refuge from day-to-day life with its 16-plus acres of pristine landscapes. It’s a popular space for birthday parties, church picnics, and community events and provides visitors with a bevy of amenities such as playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, sports fields, indoor recreation, computer rooms, fitness facilities, outdoor stages, and more.

Anyone in search of some indoor fun — especially the family-friendly kind — can travel just 12 minutes west to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. Mind-blowing exhibits transport visitors to the area’s distant past, a time when dinosaurs roamed, and much of the land was underwater. Adults can check out the museum’s First Fridays event, a nighttime celebration that features a live DJ, specialty cocktails, and educational discussion panels with field experts from the night’s theme.
