Windsor Village

Windsor Village covers 151.9 acres and the county records 510 parcels and 503 site addresses inside the boundary, at a median distinct legal lot of 6,028 square feet. Seventeen named streets run 5.05 miles within it, and a run of them carry the names of nations: Arapaho Dr, Huron Dr, Mohawk Dr, Nakoma Dr and Ottawa St sit beside La Verne Ave, Lingan Ln and Dahl Ln.

The zoning layer gives 73.8 acres to single family residence and 33.9 acres to open space land, and the general plan carries 73.6 acres as low density residential. Windsor Park sits inside the boundary at 10.8 acres, and the city records a ball diamond, a tennis court, a picnic area, a concession stand, off street parking and a playground on it. Andrew Jackson Elementary sits inside the boundary and Santa Ana Unified covers all of the ground.

Windsor Village went up in one motion. Almost every house inside the boundary dates from the 1960s, which places the whole neighborhood inside the decade Santa Ana grew from 100,350 residents to 156,601. Nearly every interior street takes the name of a Native American nation or word. Arapaho, Huron, Mohawk, Ottawa, Shawnee and Nakoma all run here, and it is Nakoma that gives Andrew Jackson Elementary its address at 1143 S. Nakoma Drive.

Fairview Street, which runs down the middle of the neighborhood, was pieced together from three older roads, the Old Newport Road, Berrydale and Greenville Street. McFadden Avenue at the north end was itself assembled from a road called Sugar Street and the original Fairview Street, and renamed for James McFadden, the pioneer who arrived in Santa Ana in 1868 and whose family lumber business out of Newport supplied the wood for many of the county's first houses.
