Windsor Village, Houston
Windsor Village is a community in Houston, in the U.S. state of Texas. The Windsor Village United Methodist Church is located in the community. The name of the community reflected a British motif popular in the late 1950s and early 1960s.〔"(School Histories )." ''Houston Independent School District''. Accessed October 4, 2008.〕
==History==
Windsor Village was developed in the 1950s and 1960s. Mary Ann Fergus of the ''Houston Chronicle'' said that thirty years prior to 2003, the community, back then an all White neighborhood, "seemed remote."〔Fergus, Mary Ann. "(Neighborhoods / Coming back to life / Windsor Village is regaining its neighborhood identity )." ''Houston Chronicle''. Thursday July 31, 2003. Houston 1. Retrieved on December 1, 2011.〕 Around that period the first black families moved in.〔
Fergus said that Windsor Village "was going down for the count" in the mid-1990s.〔 She said that "Old furniture, broken cars and trash covered many of the lawns, driveways and grassy boulevards in the neighborhood. Teenagers sold drugs on the streets. Home values had plummeted."〔 As a response, activity in the Windsor Village Civic Club increased as residents sought to remove the social ills. Fergus said that "()he neighborhood looked neater and work with police had pushed out the drug dealers."〔 Houses that were previously rental homes became owned homes. Fergus said that the new homeowners had more pride in the upkeep than the previous people.〔 In 2000 the median house price in Windsor Village increased to $49 per square foot. This was 31% higher than the increase in 1999. In 2003 Fergus said "Race relations are much better, by all accounts."〔
Around 2006 studies from the University of Houston and the City of Houston declared that the area around Windsor Village United Methodist Church was underserved by corporate development, social services, and amenities.〔Vara, Richard. "(Windsor Village church to offer pediatric clinic )." ''Houston Chronicle''. Tuesday April 25, 2006. Retrieved on December 1, 2011.〕
