Windsor Station by Taylor Construction is a new construction community offering new construction homes for sale in Windsor, VA, built around three floor plans and a limited number of remaining homesites. A homesite is an individual building lot within the community, sold with a specific floor plan attached to it. The community was built for buyers who want a new home without the price jump that usually comes with searching closer to the coast.
This community isn't the right fit for every buyer. Anyone set on walkable downtown access, or an older home with landscaping that's already had time to fill in, will likely be happier elsewhere. Windsor Station makes more sense for buyers comparing homes for sale in Windsor VA, against listings in Chesapeake or Virginia Beach and finding they need more space, and less inherited maintenance, for roughly the same price.
Here, you will find a brand-new home, rather than a resale property, plans that are designed to suit your family for at least ten years, and a community that has been planned with walkways and green spaces, as opposed to cramped lots that may have been wherever there was room for them. The community of Windsor is located in Isle of Wight County and is situated between two major cities, Chesapeake and Suffolk, and that explains much about why prices remain so low.
One thing worth clearing up before going further: this community has no connection to other communities in the area that happen to share part of its name, a point covered in more depth under Windsor Station by Taylor Construction vs. other communities. Short version, this Windsor Station is built solely by Taylor Construction.
The rest of the page will go through why people decide to buy these homes for sale in Windsor VA, who built these homes, the details of their floor plans, how the development is designed, pricing relative to other areas, and current availability.
Why Buyers Choose These Homes for Sale in Windsor, VA
Most buyers searching for homes for sale in Windsor VA, started their search in Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, or Suffolk. In those markets, anything in budget tends to need work, and anything move-in ready tends to cost more than planned. Windsor Station closes that gap with new construction at a lower price point than what's typically found closer to the coast.
Three groups make up most of the buyers here: first-time buyers, families relocating into the area, and military or Navy families stationed nearby.
Who Is Windsor Station Best For?
The first time buyer realizes that their money will stretch further in a beach community in terms of an older house with an older HVAC, an older kitchen or an overall smaller property. In Windsor, that money would be buying something brand new without the worry of the repair list. Skipping that repair list also means one less unplanned expense in the first year of ownership.
Relocating families gain two things here. The home is ready to move into the day it closes, and the neighborhood was planned with families in mind, sidewalks, a playground, and green space that hasn't been paved over for one more driveway. Anyone curious what day-to-day life is like once you've settled in can read more about living in Windsor, VA, which goes into the lifestyle side of things this page doesn't cover.
Windsor is also close enough by car to several facilities located within the Hampton Roads defense area, which include the Naval Station Norfolk, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, and NAS Oceana. For a military or Navy family that might get orders again in a few years, that mix of manageable commute and lower cost makes this a practical choice. New construction here also tends to hold its resale value, which matters in a market where the next buyer is often another relocating service member.
These three groups don't cover everyone who buys here, but they make up most of the current homeowners in the community.
What Makes Taylor Construction a Trusted Builder
A new home is only as good as the company that built it. Windsor Station is built by Taylor Construction, a company with more than 20 years in commercial and residential construction behind it.
That kind of track record shapes the buying process more than people expect going in. A builder with two decades in the business has usually already worked through the process issues that trip up newer companies, and the warranty carries more weight coming from a company with an established history rather than one still proving itself.
Construction gets checked at several points during the build, not just at the final walkthrough. That includes inspections at the foundation stage, after framing goes up, and before drywall goes in, on top of the final inspection before closing. Catching an issue at these earlier stages is cheaper and easier to fix than after the finishes are already in.
Coverage from the builder warranty in the Windsor Station typically includes three aspects of warranty – first-year coverage for workmanship, a period for major systems such as HVAC, plumbing, and electrical, and a long-term period for structural systems. It is advisable to consult the sales department for confirmation of the exact details of the warranty as terms may vary slightly by phase of the community.
As a reminder, this Windsor Station is a separate project from anything built by Eastwood Homes or Ashdon Builders, covered in more detail earlier on this page.
Compare Our Floor Plans: Helena, Oakville and Rutherford
Windsor Station offers three floor plans, and each comes in two front elevations, Craftsman and Traditional. An elevation is the exterior architectural style of the home, and choosing between them doesn't change anything about the interior layout. The table below lines up square footage, bedroom count, and bathroom count across all three.
| Floor Plan | Sqft | Bed | Bath |
|---|---|---|---|
| Helena | 2,311 | 4 | 3.5 |
| Oakville | 2,650 | 4 | 3.5 |
| Rutherford | 2,990 | 5 | 3.5 |
The Helena: Farmhouse-Inspired Family Living
At 2,311 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, the Helena is the smallest of the three, though smaller here still means real room to live in. The design has an aesthetic that is close to farmhouse style, with options for both a wrap-around front porch and a morning room. Bedrooms are located on the upper floor. This design works well for those who desire a traditional-looking house and not as much living space.
This design works better for people who prefer a more traditional-looking house and don’t want too much square footage.
The Oakville: Multi-Gen Versatility
Go up to Oakville, and you have 2,650 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, and 3.5 bathrooms. The special feature of this plan is that you can have an optional suite for the multi-generational lifestyle on the first floor which has its own bedroom and bathroom. Add that option and the home can flex to 5 bedrooms depending on configuration. A balcony elevation is available too, for anyone wanting a bit more presence on the exterior.
Households needing to fit more than one generation under one roof usually land on this plan, since it's the only one of the three actually built around that use case.
The Rutherford: First-Floor Primary Living
The Rutherford is the biggest at 2,990 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms included. The primary suite consists of the master bedroom and the connected bathroom, located on the first floor, which is important for those who wish to age in place or don’t want to walk upstairs each night to go to bed. It is also possible to make the loft into a bedroom, and then it will give 6 bedrooms overall.
Those who think about their future when buying a house choose Rutherford. Those who need a first-floor primary suite or just require additional bedrooms are also interested in this design.
They all come from the same builder and have the same experience of construction of more than twenty years. The difference is in the layout and size only.
Windsor Station's Site Plan and Homesite Types
Homesites at Windsor Station fall into a handful of categories, and which one you're looking at affects both price and how the finished home feels to live in day to day.
Interior lots sit between two neighboring homes and make up most of the community. The corner lots will be situated where two streets meet, which means there will be more room for a side yard and greater visibility on the front side of the house. Cul-de-sac lots are found at the ends of dead-end streets, and because of that, they are the quickest to sell out in any new phase of a development.
Orientation matters too, since it determines which rooms catch morning or afternoon sun. The sales team can walk through that detail for any specific homesite still open. With the total lot count fixed at roughly 50 to 60, some lot types run out well before others.
Lot size isn't uniform across the community either. Some homesites can fit all three floor plans, while others work better with the Helena's smaller footprint or the Rutherford's larger one. Anyone set on a specific floor plan should confirm which remaining homesites actually support it before locking in a decision, since not every lot works with every layout.
What to Expect When Building at Windsor Station
New construction runs a different course than buying resale. Here's roughly what that process looks like at Windsor Station.
- Select a floor plan and homesite.
- Choose customization options, including elevation, morning room, multi-gen suite, or loft conversion, before construction begins.
- Taylor Construction manages the build from foundation to final walkthrough, with inspections at each major stage.
- The completed home is delivered with a builder warranty in place.
Locking in selections before the build starts means the finished layout and features are set well ahead of time, not something discovered on closing day. Taylor Construction's experience tends to cut down on the delays and change orders that slow other builds mid-construction.
Every home comes with a builder warranty, which matters more than it sounds on paper. Buy resale and there's a decent chance you're inheriting somebody else's deferred maintenance the moment you sign. Buy new here and the systems and materials are new too, with the builder still on the hook if something needs attention during the warranty period.
Most buyers work with a single point of contact throughout the process instead of getting bounced between departments for every question. That matters most during the selection phase, when finish and option decisions need to be locked in on a schedule that keeps the build moving. A builder with an established process tends to flag those deadlines clearly rather than leave buyers guessing.

How Windsor Station Compares to Nearby Cities
Most buyers evaluating Windsor Station run the numbers against Chesapeake and Virginia Beach at some point. In most cases, new construction here prices lower than comparable new or larger homes in either market.
| Factor | Windsor Station | Typical Resale in Chesapeake or Virginia Beach |
|---|---|---|
| Construction type | New | Existing, often 15+ years old |
| Repair needs at move-in | Minimal | Often significant |
| Builder warranty | Included | Not applicable |
| Price for comparable square footage | Generally lower | Generally higher |
That price gap tends to grow once you factor in costs beyond the sale price, fewer repairs in the first several years, lower utility bills from newer and more efficient systems, and warranty coverage that resale homes usually don't come with. Weigh total cost of ownership instead of just list price, and new construction at Windsor Station generally comes out ahead of comparable resale closer to the coast.
Commute distance factors into this too. The town of Windsor is located outside the heavily developed areas of Chesapeake and Virginia Beach, which generally implies that the distance from Windsor to the coast will be longer, while the commute to job sites will be shorter than that for the cities. The equation changes when one considers commuting time as part of the buyer’s daily routine.
Current Availability at Windsor Station
Windsor Station is planned for roughly 50 to 60 homesites. Availability shifts regularly as homes move through construction, and current pricing isn't posted here since it changes often enough that a published number would go stale fast.
In a community with a limited lot count, the best homesites, corner lots, cul-de-sac lots, lots with good orientation, tend to go first. Anyone with a specific plan or lot in mind should confirm availability directly rather than wait for a later phase to open up.
The sales team can confirm the current homesite count, pricing, and construction timeline for anything still available. For a live snapshot, see current availability at Windsor Station.
Questions to Ask Before Buying New Construction
Buyers new to purchasing new construction often skip over questions that end up mattering later. Below are the ones worth asking before signing anything on a homesite here or at any comparable community.
- Which floor plans are compatible with this specific homesite.
- What's included as standard versus what counts as a paid upgrade.
- What the builder warranty covers, and how long each category of coverage lasts.
- What a realistic construction timeline looks like from contract to closing.
- Whether the homesite has any lot-specific conditions, like grading or drainage work, that could affect cost or timeline.
- How pricing on the same floor plan can vary between different homesites in the same community.
Getting answers to these before signing tends to head off most of the surprises that show up later in the process. A builder with an established track record should be able to answer all of them without hesitation.

Different lots require different amounts of time due to different plans, different options, and the schedule of constructions. One may find out how much time will be required by the sales team.
No, not all of them are because some lots have certain sizes and shapes only for the certain floor plan, especially for the bigger one called Rutherford.
