Opening Overview

Autumn Ridge sits at the lower end of the Danbury condominium market in the best way possible. Verified MLS data across 24 sales shows closed prices ranging from $167,000 to $334,000, with a median of $266,000. That is a substantial discount to the Danbury-wide median of $512,500 for all property types. For buyers who want a townhouse-style condominium with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a pool, and a clubhouse, Autumn Ridge consistently delivers the lowest cost of entry among comparable complexes in the city. The math is straightforward: at roughly $211 per square foot at the median, Autumn Ridge is not a compromise. It is a deliberate choice.

Autumn Ridge Condos for Sale

Autumn Ridge turns over steadily. The 24 verified MLS sales span from 2018 through late 2025, which works out to roughly 3 to 4 sales per year in a 75-unit community. That is a healthy turnover rate, not a locked-down complex where nothing moves. Units do not sit long when priced correctly, particularly in the $275,000 to $325,000 range where the most recent 2025 activity has clustered.

Recently Sold at Autumn Ridge

The sales record here is detailed enough to price with confidence. Across 24 MLS-verified sales, closed prices ran from $167,000 (February 2019) to $334,000 (March 2025). The median sale price landed at $266,000. Unit sizes across all recorded sales ranged from 1,142 to 1,556 square feet. The median price per square foot was approximately $211.

The price trajectory tells a clear story. Units that sold in 2019 and 2020 closed in the $167,000 to $172,000 range. By 2021, prices had moved into the $199,000 to $247,000 range. In 2022, the $230,000 to $272,000 band took hold. The 2023 through early 2024 sales pushed the median above $280,000. The most recent 2025 closings, which include Unit 70 at $325,000 in April and Unit 46 at $334,000 in March, represent the current ceiling for the complex. Two October 2025 closings, Units 4 and 37, came in at $280,000 and $275,000 respectively, which suggests the market has absorbed the spring 2025 peaks and is pricing more selectively now.

One pricing note worth flagging: the two larger units at 1,556 square feet do not always command a premium over the 1,142-square-foot units. Unit 39, the largest size sold, closed at $283,000 in December 2023 while the smaller unit 47 sold for $280,000 three months later. Buyers and sellers should not assume the larger floor plan automatically justifies a higher asking price. Condition and renovation level matter more in this complex than raw square footage.

About Autumn Ridge

Autumn Ridge is a 75-unit townhouse condominium community at 157 Shelter Rock Road in Danbury, CT. Construction spanned from 1983 to 2004, which means the complex was built and expanded over a 21-year window. That kind of phased construction is common in larger Danbury condominium developments and generally results in some variation in building materials, mechanical systems, and exterior finishes across the complex. The community includes a pool and a clubhouse. At 75 units, Autumn Ridge is large enough to support a functioning association with professional management, but not so large that it loses the character of a residential neighborhood.

Homes and Layouts at Autumn Ridge

Every recorded MLS sale at Autumn Ridge has been a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit. No 1-bedroom or 3-bedroom sales appear in the verified data. The floor plan split runs between 1,142 and 1,556 square feet. The smaller layout, at 1,142 square feet, accounts for the majority of sales in the record. The larger 1,556-square-foot layout appears in roughly 7 of the 24 recorded sales. As a townhouse-style condominium, units are vertically oriented rather than single-floor flats. That typically means living and dining areas on one level and bedrooms above. Buyers who prefer single-floor living should clarify the layout before scheduling a showing, as townhouse entry points and stair configurations vary unit to unit within a complex like this.

What Buyers Need to Know

HOA fees at Autumn Ridge have increased meaningfully over the recorded sales history. In 2018 and 2019, fees were running at $187 per month. By late 2021, they had moved to $200. The most recent 2025 sales show monthly fees of $325. That is a 74% increase in HOA costs over approximately seven years. Before making an offer, buyers should request the current fee schedule, the most recent association budget, and the reserve fund study. A reserve fund study will tell you whether the association has been funding long-term capital needs adequately or whether a special assessment is possible in the near term.

Because the complex was built across two decades, buyers should pay close attention to the age and condition of unit-specific mechanical systems. A unit built in 1983 and never updated will have older HVAC, water heater, and plumbing than a unit completed in 2004. Ask for documentation of any major system replacements. Units with updated kitchens, bathrooms, or mechanical systems have consistently sold at the upper end of the price range, so condition variation is real and priced into the market.

Annual property taxes on the most recent 2025 sales are running approximately $3,895 to $3,983 per year. Combined with a $325 monthly HOA fee, the total carrying cost beyond a mortgage payment is roughly $7,800 per year in fixed expenses. That is a relevant number for buyers comparing Autumn Ridge to single-family alternatives in Danbury CT real estate broadly.

Rental policies, pet rules, and owner-occupancy ratios are set by the association and are subject to change. Buyers who intend to rent the unit or who need financing backed by conventional or FHA guidelines should verify the current owner-occupancy ratio directly with the association before going under contract. Lenders applying conventional guidelines typically require a minimum owner-occupancy percentage that not all condominium associations meet.

Buying or Selling at Autumn Ridge

With 24 verified sales and a clear price trajectory from $167,000 to $334,000, Autumn Ridge is a complex where precise pricing matters. The $50,000 spread between the fall 2025 closings and the spring 2025 peak is not noise. It reflects real differences in unit condition, renovation level, and negotiating dynamics. Sellers who price based on the spring 2025 ceiling without accounting for current conditions will sit. Buyers who offer based on 2021 comps will lose.

The Engel Team tracks Autumn Ridge sales data continuously and can provide a current valuation for any unit in the complex, whether you are buying or selling. For sellers, we can identify where your specific unit sits within the $211 per square foot median and advise on whether pre-listing updates are likely to move the needle. For buyers, we monitor for new listings before they hit the open market and can structure offers that compete without overpaying in a complex where condition variation is wide.
