Home Styles and Stats Home Type: Large rural estate Lot sizes: 2,104sq.m. - 10,500sq.m. Average: $646,000 The wide price range reflects the variety of homes available in Taylor Estates—from vacant lots and modest builds to large, luxury residences with premium finishes. Recent sales have been trending higher, suggesting continued demand for upscale properties in this neighbourhood.

The Windsor ASP will guide the future development of about 388 hectares of land from Highway 43 south to the City of Grande Prairie boundary and between Range Roads 62 (108 street) and 63 (116 Street). The area is allocated for mostly residential development like the neighboring Whispering Ridge subdivision. Commercial development is proposed along the outside of the planned area, with several spots set aside for planned and proposed school sites. The Area Structure Plan was originally known in its draft form as the Southwest Clairmont ASP and has been renamed the Windsor Area Structure Plan in honour of Her Late Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee which marked her 70 years of service in 2022. The Plan envisions a framework to develop a variety of attractive housing product, neighborhood and gateway commercial uses, services, and amenities like interconnected trails and park space with a central storm water management and recreational feature.
