ABOUT WALDEN WOODS

Walden Woods is a 153-acre planned Common Interest Community located off Marshal Phelps Road in Windsor, Connecticut and currently consists of 156 homes in a traditional New England motif.   Site preparation for the construction of 180 additional homes, marketed as Country Walk, began in December 2004.  When construction is completed, the community will contain 336 homes.

Current amenities include a swimming pool, two tennis courts , hiking trail and a Meeting House used for community meetings and social events.  Plans for the expanded community include a maintenance facility and a combined baseball/soccer field.

There are five types of homes in Walden Woods:  54 "Lot Homes", generally between 2000 and 3000 square feet in size, are constructed on lots owned by the resident of each home.  72 "Village Homes", 1400 - 2000 square feet in size, are constructed in areas known as common elements.  Village home ownership applies only from the outer perimeter of the foundation, roof and walls of the home and does not include the yard area that is part of the common elements. 

Thirty colonial-style "Ridge" homes of approximately 2,000 square feet are also constructed in common element areas and, like the Village homes, ownership applies only to the home and not the yard.   There are important differences between Village, Ridge and Lot homes affecting maintenance responsibilities and their associated costs.

The 180 duplex and town homes being constructed in the Country Walk addition will mark a third and fourth type of home in Walden Woods.  As with Village homeowners, these homes will be built in common element areas, but ownership of the home will be from the inner perimeter of the foundation, ceiling and walls.
