Got a sweet tooth? Windsor is best known as the former home of the Great Western Sugar Factory. The Great Western Sugar Factory may not be the top dog in town anymore, but that doesn't mean the lollipop dreams Windsor provided are now over.

Three-hundred days of sunshine every year and spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains provide great reasons for the people of Windsor to enjoy the outdoors.

Renting in Windsor

The rent you pay for your apartment greatly depends on your negotiation skills. Deciding what it is you're looking for in an apartment, however, is the first step.

Choose what works for you Make it a point to stick to your needs first. All too often, you may feel yourself being swayed toward an apartment, just to find that renting it may mean that your commute to work is lengthened by 30 minutes. Tempting as it may be, don't rent a place just because it seems like a good deal.

Scout the property While websites do help in giving you a general feel of the rental, there is no substitute for a personal visit. Once you've narrowed down your search, visit the property to check out the apartment, as well as your potential new neighborhood. There's a wide variety of rental homes in Windsor, so make sure you don't limit your search to one property. Be picky. Visit at least two, so that you have a comparison.
