Windsor lies on the Thames flood plain, with flood risk in low-lying areas. Heathrow is nearby, and aircraft noise affects the eastern side. Prices are high, driven by the town's character, good schools and fast trains to London. Eton and Datchet have some of the area's most sought-after homes. Clewer has a mix of older and newer homes. Recent town centre schemes have brought some modern flats and shops. Windsor Great Park and the river add green space. Many older houses near the castle have cellars prone to damp. Tourism brings crowds and traffic to the town centre.
