Life in Walkerville
Windsor's most cherished and historic neighbourhood. Walkerville blends heritage architecture with a thriving community of cafés, galleries, parks, and local businesses.
A Brief History
Walkerville was founded in the late 19th century by Hiram Walker, the distiller who established Canadian Club whisky. The neighbourhood was designed as a model company town, with tree-lined boulevards, grand homes, and a distinct architectural character that endures today.
Today, Walkerville has evolved into one of Windsor's most sought-after residential areas. Its heritage homes, mixed with thoughtful new development, create a neighbourhood that honours the past while embracing modern living.
