Availability at 77 Sunset Lane moves quickly. With only 54 units in the complex and a buyer pool drawn from across Fairfield County, units here do not sit. The Ridgefield CT condo market runs tight, and this complex is no exception. MLS history shows 20 recorded sales since the building opened in 2016, which works out to roughly two sales per year on average. That is a low turnover rate. If you are waiting for a unit to appear publicly, you may be waiting a while. The better strategy is to get ahead of the market.

MLS records show 20 closed sales at 77 Sunset Lane since 2016. Closed prices ranged from $562,169 to $1,200,000, with a median sale price of $773,235. Unit sizes ran from 1,466 to 3,148 square feet. The median price per square foot across all verified sales was approximately $379/SF.
The most recent cluster of sales, in 2021 through 2023, tells a clear story about where the market settled post-construction. Unit 322 sold for $765,000 in April 2023 at 1,584 square feet, a 2-bedroom/2-bath layout. Unit 231 closed at $760,000 in May 2023 at the same square footage tier. Unit 115 sold for $715,000 in July 2023, also a 2/2 at 1,892 square feet. The outlier in recent years was Unit 2, which closed at $1,200,000 in June 2022 at 3,148 square feet with a 2-bed/4-bath configuration. That unit is in its own category and should not anchor expectations for the standard 2/2 floor plans.
The original 2016 and 2017 sales, primarily larger units in the 2,534-square-foot range, closed between $781,470 and $936,774. Those sales reflect developer pricing on delivery. The 2018 sales of smaller 1,466 to 1,553-square-foot units came in between $562,169 and $593,599. Buyers evaluating current resale pricing should weigh these figures against the 2021 to 2023 comps, which reflect open-market conditions rather than developer incentives.

77 Sunset Lane is a 54-unit condominium community built in 2016 on Great Heron Lane in Ridgefield, CT. The complex is relatively new construction by Ridgefield standards, which matters: buyers here are not inheriting aging infrastructure, deferred maintenance, or building systems from the 1980s. Construction quality reflects current standards, and the building envelope is intact. The complex includes a clubhouse as a shared amenity, and residents have access to nearby walking trails. Ridgefield’s Ballard Park and the open space around the town are close by, and the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum and Ridgefield Playhouse are both within reach of the address, putting this complex within the orbit of what makes Ridgefield’s downtown genuinely distinct from other Fairfield County towns. This is not a complex built in a vacuum. It sits inside a town with a real Main Street and an arts identity. That context supports long-term resale value.
The building style is townhouse. Units are configured primarily as 2-bedroom layouts, with square footage ranging from 1,466 to 3,148 square feet across verified MLS sales. Most standard floor plans fall between 1,466 and 1,892 square feet, with a smaller number of larger units at 2,534 square feet and one documented at 3,148 square feet. Bath counts in MLS records range from 2 to 4 depending on the unit.
Interior finishes include 9-foot ceilings on the main floor, walk-in closets, and attached full bathrooms. Each unit includes an attached one- or two-car garage, which is a meaningful feature for a Ridgefield winter. Units are ranch-style in configuration, meaning the primary living space is on the main level. That floor-plan approach has broad appeal for buyers who are downsizing from larger single-family homes and want to eliminate stairs without giving up square footage or garage access.
HOA fees at 77 Sunset Lane have run between $461 and $513 per month across verified sales, with the most recent figures landing around $483 to $510 per month depending on unit. Property taxes have typically come in at $9,999 per year for standard units, with larger units running higher. Unit 2, the 3,148-square-foot outlier, carried taxes of $16,150 per year at its 2022 closing.
Because this is a 2016 build, the reserve fund question is less urgent than it would be in a 1980s complex, but buyers should still request the current reserve study. A building this age is approaching the point where first-generation capital expenses, parking surfaces, clubhouse mechanicals, roofing components, become budget line items. Ask for the most recent reserve fund disclosure and the board’s assessment history. If no special assessments have been levied since opening, confirm why and whether any are under discussion.
Pet policy is confirmed: pets are welcome at 77 Sunset Lane. Buyers with dogs or cats should confirm breed and weight restrictions in the current association documents rather than relying on general policy language. Rental rules, owner-occupancy ratios, and any restrictions on short-term rentals should be verified directly in the association bylaws before submitting an offer. These factors affect both financing eligibility and future resale flexibility. The resale package review, which includes association financials, meeting minutes, and any pending litigation, is a required step here as it is with any condominium purchase in Connecticut.
The building is not waterfront and does not carry flood zone exposure. Insurance structure follows a standard condominium form. Buyers should confirm whether the master policy is an all-in or bare-walls policy, as that determines how much individual unit coverage you need to carry.
With only 20 recorded MLS sales across nearly a decade of ownership history, pricing a unit at 77 Sunset Lane requires careful work. The comp set is narrow, the unit mix is varied, and the gap between a standard 1,584-square-foot 2/2 and a 3,148-square-foot outlier is wide enough to make per-square-foot analysis unreliable without stratifying by floor plan first. Sellers need an agent who knows which units are genuinely comparable and which are statistical noise.
Buyers looking at Ridgefield homes for sale often arrive at 77 Sunset Lane after deciding that a single-family house in this market, where the broader Ridgefield CT real estate median exceeded $1,000,000 in early 2026, is more than they need or want to maintain. A 2-bedroom townhouse with an attached garage, a clubhouse, and walking trail access at $715,000 to $765,000 is a real alternative. But the decision requires a precise read on current availability, unit-specific condition, and HOA financial health.
The Engel Team works with buyers and sellers at 77 Sunset Lane on valuation, off-market monitoring, and offer and listing strategy. If you are considering a purchase here, the best move is to get ahead of what appears on the open market. If you own a unit and are thinking about timing a sale, the comp analysis for this building is specific enough that a conversation is worth more than an algorithm.
