Windmere Grove

Windmere Grove is a small detached-home community in Plainsboro Township, Middlesex County, built by Centex Homes in 2004 and zoned for the West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District. Every home on record here is a detached single-family house of four or five bedrooms, set on short cul-de-sac courts rather than through streets, and listing remarks for the community describe it as a highly desirable section of Plainsboro. The appeal is straightforward: a mid-2000s house that still reads as current, on a quiet court, inside one of New Jersey's top-ranked public districts. Recent BrightMLS closings have run about $1,100,000 to $1,375,000.

The homes

The community is entirely detached single-family homes, with no townhomes or condominiums in the record. Floor plans run four and five bedrooms and roughly 2,854 to 4,587 square feet above grade, with a median near 3,433. That is close to a 1,700 square foot spread between the smallest and largest plan, and it explains most of the gap between one sale price here and the next. Centex built the community in a single 2004 push, and MLS remarks name several of its models, among them the St. Andrews, the Garland, and the Coventry. A uniform build year is useful information when you are shopping here: roofs, HVAC, and water heaters across the community are all roughly the same age, now about two decades in, so replacement timing is a question worth asking on every home rather than a surprise on one. In exchange, the layouts are recognizably modern, which keeps the renovation lift lighter than it would be on older Plainsboro stock.

Streets and setting

BrightMLS records place the homes on Cottonwood Court, Mahogany Court, and Spruce Court, and listing remarks describe them as quiet cul-de-sac streets. That layout is the practical difference between this community and a grid subdivision: no through traffic reaches the interior, and the courts stay quiet enough that the front of a house is usable space rather than roadside. The community carries a homeowners association, and recorded fees fall in the $46 to $55 per month range, a light assessment consistent with a detached-home community where each owner maintains their own house and yard. It is worth asking the listing agent what the fee actually covers before assuming it extends beyond common-area upkeep.

Schools and commute

Every home is zoned for the West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District, which listing remarks here describe as an award-winning Blue Ribbon district and which is consistently one of the top-ranked public systems in New Jersey. For commuters, Princeton Junction station on the NJ Transit Northeast Corridor line serves the area, putting Midtown Manhattan roughly 50 minutes out, with additional service toward Trenton and Philadelphia. The Route 1 corridor handles the drive north and south, and Princeton is a short trip away.

Market position

Pricing here is better read as a range than as an average. Two homes have closed in the last 24 months: 6 Mahogany Court at $1,100,000 in November 2025, a 2,854 square foot four-bedroom, and 4 Cottonwood Court at $1,375,000 in August 2025, a 3,554 square foot five-bedroom. A 2024 sale on Cottonwood Court reached $1,465,000, and the community's 2021 closings sat between roughly $976,000 and $999,000. With six closings on record in total, any single median is an artifact of a very small sample, which is why the range and the individual comparables carry more weight than a headline number. Measured against the roughly $1,062,600 median for detached homes across the West Windsor-Plainsboro district, recent Windmere Grove sales have run modestly above the district norm, which is what newer construction and larger floor plans would predict. Both of the last two closings came in under their original asking price, so the opening number matters: with this few comparables, an aggressive ask has little supporting evidence behind it, and correcting it costs time on market.
