Windsor Locks at a glance
With 51% of homes built before 1960, Windsor Locks is an older town by Connecticut standards, and its concrete shows it: original walks and stoops, narrow driveways, and slabs on very little base.
Single-family homes make up 69% of Windsor Locks's housing; the rest is condos, two-families and apartments, which brings property managers and associations into the mix.
The median home in Windsor Locks was built in 1960, close to the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door Hartford (median 1953) and older than Windsor (1969).

By property
Building in Windsor Locks
- Foundations
- Windsor Locks is about 18 miles from the former J.J. Mottes plant in Stafford Springs. Homes with foundations poured from the early 1980s on should rule out pyrrhotite before foundation work; see our crumbling foundations guide.
- Soils
- Parts of Windsor Locks sit on glacial Lake Hitchcock clays, which hold water and heave, so bases go deeper and drainage gets more attention.
- Water
- Lots near the Connecticut River can hold water in spring, so we plan drainage and base depth for it.
- Permits
- Connecticut has one statewide building code, so footings go 42 inches deep in Windsor Locks like everywhere else. What's local is the paperwork: Windsor Locks's building department for structures, public works or engineering for the right-of-way, and the inland wetlands commission near water.
- Utilities
- We call 811 (Call Before You Dig) at least two full business days before every excavation.
