Windy Hills

CULTURES & VALUES
A G E D I V E R S I T Y
At a recent city council meeting it was noted the age of the city is slowly shifting from
older to younger. Younger families are moving in and renovating old homes with more
modern appeal. Most streets have both elderly residents that are aging in place and
younger couples or families. Given the growing tension between the older residents and
younger families there is some conflict. The older residents want to preserve the integrity
of the neighborhood and are committed to staying as they grow older. The younger
families are often perceived as transient because they see Windy Hills as a stepping stone
to nearby and more affluent neighborhoods.
C O M M U N I T Y
Windy Hills is a community-minded neighborhood with numerous City sponsored events
throughout the calendar: The 4th of July parade and picnic, Christmas tree lighting and
carols, and ice cream socials.

The younger residents all enjoy the green spaces in one way or another, from actual use
of the playground to the walking paths and field. Others enjoy the visual appeal of the
green spaces and trees. The sidewalk, though controversial when it was built, is being
used daily by residents and is a great connector between the streets within the
neighborhood.
