Windsor's West Side neighbourhood is home to a Chinatown.

As of 2012 it is the largest Chinatown in proximity to Detroit, Michigan.

The difference with Ottawa's Chinatown is that many of the Chinese residents are students studying at the University of Windsor.

By 1982, an "official" establishment was made by the Essex County Chinese Canadian Association and the Chinese Benevolent Association of Windsor by establishing a "permanent" community centre on Wyandotte Street.

A new Chinatown developed around Park Street West and Dougall Road, between University Avenue in the North and Wyandotte in the South.
