Ardenwood has 16 units total, and turnover is genuinely limited. With fewer than ten recorded MLS sales across nearly a decade of transaction history, this is not a complex where inventory sits. When a unit comes to market at Ardenwood, it moves. If you are tracking Stamford CT condos in this price range, Ardenwood is the kind of building where waiting for a Zillow alert is the wrong strategy.

Nine MLS sales on record tell a clear story about how this complex has appreciated. Closed prices have ranged from $540,000 to $1,200,000, with a median sale price of $610,000 across all recorded transactions. The most recent sale, Unit 14 in August 2025, closed at $1,200,000 on 1,746 square feet, a number that stands well above the historical median and signals where the market for this address has moved. Unit 8 sold just days earlier in July 2025 at $861,000 on 1,713 square feet.

The median price per square foot across recorded sales was approximately $379. The two-bedroom units in the 1,425-square-foot range traded in the $540,000–$550,000 range during 2015–2018. The three-bedroom, 1,713-square-foot configuration has become the dominant sales format, and those units have climbed from $610,000 in 2019 to $861,000–$1,200,000 in 2025. That spread reflects both market appreciation and meaningful variation in unit condition and renovation level.
Ardenwood is a small condominium community of 16 colonial-style townhouses built in 1992 and situated on Shore Road in Stamford, directly on the edge of Old Greenwich. The position is the defining feature of this address. Units overlook the Innis Arden Golf Course, giving buyers a setting that looks and feels nothing like a standard suburban condo complex. The scale reinforces that quality: 16 units means no elevator lobbies, no crowded parking structures, no mass-market amenity list. What you get instead is a low-density, single-family-adjacent lifestyle in a condominium structure. Ardenwood sits within walking distance of both Stamford Station and Old Greenwich Station, which is an unusual logistical advantage that buyers at comparable price points rarely find. For Stamford CT real estate at this price level, the combination of golf course views, waterfront proximity, and two-station walk access is not easily replicated.
Unit configurations at Ardenwood break into two distinct categories based on recorded MLS data. The smaller format runs approximately 1,425 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The more common format is a three-bedroom unit at approximately 1,713 square feet, available in both two-bath and three-bath configurations. One three-bedroom unit recorded at 2,478 square feet suggests at least one expanded or upgraded floor plan exists in the complex. The townhouse style means vertical living across multiple floors rather than a single-level flat, with private entry and the feel of a detached home. HOA fees are recorded at $400 per month for units with recent sales data. Parking is consistent with townhouse-style construction at this scale, though buyers should confirm individual unit parking arrangements directly with the association before making an offer.
The HOA fee at Ardenwood is $400 per month based on recent sales records. That figure covers standard community maintenance, but buyers should request the full reserve fund study and current financials before going to contract. A 16-unit association has a narrow contribution base, which means a single deferred capital item, such as a roof replacement or structural repair, can trigger a meaningful special assessment. Ask specifically whether the reserves are fully funded and whether any assessments are pending or have been levied in the past five years.
Ardenwood was built in 1992, which puts it in the range where major building systems, including roofing, windows, and mechanical components, may have already gone through at least one replacement cycle. Buyers should verify the condition of individual unit systems as well as common-area infrastructure as part of the inspection and due diligence process.
The location on the Old Greenwich border and proximity to the water makes flood zone designation a specific due diligence item. Buyers should confirm the FEMA flood zone classification for the property, obtain a flood elevation certificate if one exists, and budget for flood insurance if the building or individual units fall within a designated zone. Waterfront-adjacent addresses in lower Stamford can carry materially higher insurance costs than buyers expect based on purchase price alone.
Unit condition varies significantly across the nine recorded MLS sales. The gap between the $540,000 trades in 2015–2016 and the $1,200,000 sale in August 2025 reflects both market appreciation and the renovation premium built into individual units. A fully updated unit and an original-condition unit at Ardenwood are not the same purchase, and that difference needs to be priced accurately. Buyers should review the resale package carefully, including the declaration, bylaws, and any pending rule changes, before waiving contingencies. Resale value at Ardenwood has demonstrated a strong upward trajectory, but condition remains the biggest driver of individual unit pricing within the complex.
Rental restrictions, pet policies, and owner-occupancy ratios should be confirmed directly with the association or its management company. These terms are not standardized across Connecticut condominium communities and can affect both financing and future resale flexibility.
With only 16 units and fewer than one sale per year on average, pricing a unit at Ardenwood correctly requires looking beyond the complex itself. Comparable sales from nearby Stamford homes for sale and similar golf-course-adjacent or waterfront-adjacent townhouse communities factor into a defensible valuation. The Engel Team works this market specifically and can provide a current valuation grounded in the actual 2025 transaction data from this building.
For sellers, the August 2025 sale at $1,200,000 sets a new benchmark for the complex. Not every unit will support that price, but the trajectory is real and pricing strategy here matters. Presenting the unit correctly and timing the listing to buyer demand in this price range are where sellers leave money on the table or capture it.
For buyers, the combination of golf course views, walking distance to two train stations, and waterfront proximity at 1 Shore Road is a specific set of attributes that does not appear frequently in this market.
