Built in 3 phases with models named Camelot, Manchester, Presidio, Carmel, Taos, and Balboa, Windsor Park was advertised as ‘almost living outdoors’ with more than ‘575 sq. ft. of glass’ in a 3-bedroom home. Windsor Park homes were constructed of either Burnt Adobe or “Windsor stone”, in a decidedly mid-century modern flair with large expanses of windows in most rooms. They featured 3-4 bedrooms, double carports or garages, and wide, low-slung angled roofs on large lots (most lots range in size from about 1/4 acre to 1/3 acre).
