Where Heritage Meets Modern Living
An Iconic Los Angeles Neighborhood

Developed beginning in the early 20th century, the neighborhood remains defined by architectural character, privacy, and a strong sense of place.
Mediterranean, Colonial Revival, Tudor, Traditional, and Craftsman residences contribute to a streetscape that feels distinctly Los Angeles. Just moments away, Larchmont Village provides neighborhood cafés, restaurants, shops, and its popular farmers market, giving Windsor Square an unusual combination of residential tranquility and everyday walkability.
