Worst Neighborhoods in Windsor Ontario 

That Canada Goose is probably responsible for 1/2 of the crime in Sandwich, LOL.

Hey bro i was born and raised here in Windsor i can walk down any street in my city and feel safe there are no bad areas just bad people my city is struggling right now with homeless and drugs so instead of putting neighnorhoods in my city down help them .

After dark every night I walk all over the downtown area in total safety.I've been doing this most nights for several years.What this bougois Is not telling you is the homeless people in the downtown area DONT BOTHER YOU unless you're such an idiot that you hang out with them (and I'm not talking about a social worker who's being PAID to do so)).The same goes for the Sandwich street area.After dark I have walked down Sandwich street to get to Riverside many times( and so have many high class,highly educated University of Windsor students) without EVER becoming a victim of ANY crime.The guy speaking in this video is some east end bourgeois who hasn't a clue what he's talking about.

Great video. Informative.

Fair. As a Windsorite, if i were giving advice to someone moving here with money. The poorest neighbourhoods have the highest crime, and the lowest prices for real estate. Rents are relatively low in those areas as well. Every city has these areas. There's also the Droullaird area, Remington Park, and Little River (used to be The Villages of Riverside).

Do you know that the new bridge isn’t going to be next to the old one?

You should do more research than just checking facts I live in the sandwich town for 25 years of my life and had nothing bad happened to me other then common crimes you will find anywhere else in Canada it's really not that bad

I lived near downtown, some bummers broke into the building underground garage and then into my car. The police did not catch them with several cameras. AVOID downtown.

Why would you use pictures of the bridge that isn't being built? The new bridge doesn't go anywhere near sandwich, it's way south closer to the expressway. I'm curious why crime rate is the only reason you list for these areas. Is there not more reasons you may want to go to or avoid a particular neighbourhood?

Your info on the new bridge and the boarded up homes on Indian Road (underneath the old Ambassador Bridge) is out dated and incorrect. You're showing the Ambassador Bridge Company's concept drawings for a new bridge. That is not the one being built. The new Gordie Howe bridge is currently being built about 3 kms west of the old bridge. And the boarded up homes on Indian Road have long since been torn down, and is being used as empty green space by the Ambassador Bridge Co.

When I lived downtown a few years ago, my car got robbed and stolen and the police called me back 3 days later after I had found my car myself lmao

Lots of scare tactics with no breakdown of data. Crime can happen anywhere but to imply these are no-go areas that experience crime on a daily basis is false. He starts the video out stating “crime” statistics then they become “crime” and “violent crime”. So which one is it???

the city should take your post down. that will help the problem.

There's nowhere in windsor I won't go the city is harmless lol.

Sandwich town was my home . Forster Spartan for life

Best area to live is in walkerville, the best restaurants, parks and central to everything. Close to detroit tunnel.

Downtowns not that bad my jeep only gets broken into once a year

Well researched, thanks for posting. I have lived most of my life in the Windsor/Essex County area, but moved from there in 2013 to Cambridge, Ont. but plan on someday moving back to Windsor as it is still "home" to me. I would chose anywhere east of Walker Road, Riverside preferably. Never hear it put as "Sandwich town", and find it interesting this being a good investment opportunity area, glad you pointed that out.

Just read the comments, I'm not even sure if I'm gonna even watch this shit. But let me say I am from #Chicago and I plan to visit Windsor, especially Sandwich now that I know the history of it being a historically Black neighborhood. I learned a lot about the history of Windsor and Detroit regarding the underground railroad. 💪🏿✊🏿

whenever i go to sandwich town it just feels sad

I laughed out loud when I saw this video. Moved here from Detroit. Let me be perfectly clear here. Windsor no matter where you are is safe. Some areas may be run down, but perfectly safe to walk. Now Detroit on the other hand is NOT, and there you have areas that are not safe. But this is Windsor NOT Detroit. And if your going to do videos on Windsor at least be local… Best part about Windsor is it is NOT Toronto. Canada stops at London, and that is the way Windsorites want it to be.

Thanks for useful useful information, I will move to Windsor in 6 months as a student, which neighborhood you think is best for an international student? prices, safety and etc.

Was just in downtown windsor drinking, only homeless guy we met wanted a cig and never bothered us again but could be just dumb luck, looking back I only remember seeing one homeless guy the whole time now.

Hey dude I live near Downtown Windsor and it’s not even that bad don’t blame the homeless….. that’s not fair yeah sometimes it’s annoying but they don’t bug me or my family. Stop blaming homeless to not move here

Why, why does the city go along with this? You are correct.

It's properly called Sandwich Towne. It's where the War of 1812 Started. Fact. I know SHIT, I'M A Lauzon.

💖💖💖

I’m from the deep west near sandwich town man stop playing bro it ain’t that bad as long as you mind yea business and know people but something you should do in my opinion is mind your business if you don’t know wtf your talking about 😂

I Was Born and Raised In Windsor Ontario Grew Up In The Nice Area Of Old Riverside, But Lived in MANY Bad Areas Of the City particularly Louis and Brant, Bruce and University, Chippewa,

Were do geared to income over sixty go to live that is nice at least no bugs ! There is no we're to go so we live in slums now apts run by city they will do nothing for us but talk.

You ain’t gotta avoid crap just carry around a bag of meth if you get bothered just throw it the other way and your safe

could you find a bigger mic?

I live area and it's crazy here

The city is not doing enough to help people with mental health and addiction problems the whole country and world is not doing enough. our city is not as bad as some of these other big cities with tent encampments everywhere but for a small city and being born and raised here iv never seen so many lost souls walking around with grocery carts full of there belongings etc...why has it come to this?these people need help and they need to be housed and theres not enough government housing projects which is ridiculous and anyone saying noone should get hand outs wouldnt you rather your tax dollars went to cleaning the streets and helping people its very disturbing seeing people sleeping on a sidewalk or in the parking lot of our grocerie stores i remember this was always something we seen when we crossed the border to detroit and it was shocking to see it became we weren't used to seeing it in our city now here we are

I don’t see sandwich town getting much better anytime soon. It just seems to be locked in as a low income, lower quality of person part of the town. Which sucks. I hope I’m wrong because I love how historic it is, how it’s right on the water and it’s potential in general, but unless you start kicking the people out who live in the run down areas, not much will change.

Best area would be south end or walkervill

Bad take my guy

Did he say he was a Realtor??

I live in "midtown" off of Vic. Ave. It's urban but far enough out of the core to be surprisingly quiet and extremely walkable. Yes, you pretty much have to secure anything that is "take-able," so my patio furniture pieces all have a flimsy chain running through them (which only would slow someone down but that's enough where nothing's been ever been taken in over ten years). I would recommend *heavily* locking down bikes (and keeping them in sight as an extra precaution), or they are likely to be, eventually, nabbed (in one to five years). On the other glass half-full hand, whether it's a broken coffee maker, a wobbly chair, or an old futon frame, if you want to unload an item (and do I mean *any* item--even if you can't imagine why anyone would ever want it), placing it on the side of the alley will get it gone within a mere few hours and save you hassle of ever having to go to the dump. Digging a little deeper into the crime stats with a little extra nuance, far greater residential density can both mean more crimes but also more surveilling eyes to thwart and/or catch crooks. Our neighbourhood has both an informal and private community Facebook page for mass communication if someone notices something odd going on, to remind people to move their parked car on the first of the month to avoid ticketing, a photographic pet registry (so we can identify a lost pet or to whom an animal companion belongs), to strengthen our community connections with each other, and announce events, clean-up initiatives, etc. In the far more population sparse sub- and exurbs, the number of crimes reported is much lower than in the far more densely jam packed downtown. So, I'd be interested in the per capita crime rate based on residential density in, for example, making comparisons between wards; eighty crimes committed in a month in an area of 20 000 people (0.004%) vs. 50 with a population of 10 000 (0.005%) would actually, despite commonly held impressions, make a downtown resident less likely to be a target of crime. There are also more people and eyes on the street; the more foot traffic, the fewer crimes get committed. In a quiet, low density neighbourhood, a perfidious ne'er-do-well can get around all over an area without ever being seen or encountering another person. In our neighbourhood, with our foot traffic, observant and communicating residents, installed network of solar powered motion detector lights, cameras, and Ring doorbells, not so much. Anyway, just my two cents. windsorps.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/97664fba2c5d451eb7b3a7b8a51b6af7 www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/85-002-x/2020001/article/00001/windsor-eng.htm

I’m from Philadelphia born and raised and that homeless depiction with addicts was definitely Kensington

The city of windsor destroyed Westend as usual, I can walk anywhere Westend no problem, but yes the city as a whole is despicable. City is going downhill

Windsor ain't even close to detroit bahahahah windsor is soft

I live in the Roseville area, I'm not afraid to live here, I'd say more Fountain blue (Rivard/Grandview area) lots of break ins there. I lived there for 20 yrs & seen alot.

these videos arent of Windsor and make the downtown area seem way worse than it is.

the only way windsor will improve is to replace council including mayor dillhole. the university also need accountability. students take over city streets with parking because the university pricing is ridiculous. also cockroaches and rats are an issue.

i am moving to sandwich how to stop crime? 😭

We have been looking in Windsor for a small detached but it seems houses listed at $200,000 are getting blind bids up to the $340 area. So we're going to sit back and wait for now.

avoid the Partington and Wyandotte West area....roachville🤢

Stay out of Glengarry Meadowbrook and the west end and you will be fine welcome to the 519

Neighbourhoods*

this guy

La Salle is Nice.

Buying a property new to a bridge... ok... Arent homeless people like to live under a bridge?

Isn’t Canada great? You can buy a $250,000 house, but it will cost you $850,000. What happened to our once great country ?

My gosh, we used to live at the Victoria Park Place in 2003. Can't believe it has gotten that bad.

P.S. Since the guy talking in this video is so good at making videos that fact GUARANTEES that his superior technology skills makes it so he has inferior LIFE SKILLS.

Nice I know your cousin not kidding

I'd move there fosho

Ahahha every place is safe to live in Windsor period!

why dont you be realistic and tell the truth. all of windsor has changed drastically and no one is safe anymore. its gotten so bad

I've had the shit kicked out of me numerous times here.

learn how to spell

You are a very biased Real Estate person. No commissions in the areas you highlight.. Obviously not a Windsor native.

yes

the city could send the homeless off on the trains

Weirdo. Riverside 58. Canadians.
