Columbus Court Condos in Norwalk, CT

Columbus Court Condos for Sale

Columbus Court is a 48-unit condominium complex built in 1987 on Chestnut Street in Norwalk, CT. Availability here is limited. With 48 total units and a buyer pool that responds quickly to Norwalk pricing below $400,000, units that come to market tend to move. The Norwalk real estate market has seen inventory tighten significantly, with overall condo supply down roughly 10.6% in early 2025 compared to a year prior. That compression affects Columbus Court directly — fewer listings means fewer opportunities, and buyers who wait for the perfect unit often miss the available one.

There are no active listings at Columbus Court we can confirm at the time of this writing. Availability changes quickly. Contact The Engel Team for current inventory, including any units approaching market or available off-market.

Recently Sold at Columbus Court

MLS records show 7 sales at Columbus Court. Closed prices ranged from $245,000 to $360,000, with a median sale price of $258,700 across all recorded transactions. Unit sizes ran from 960 to 1,044 square feet. The median price per square foot came in at approximately $269/SF. The three most recent sales, all closed in 2025 or 2026, tell a sharply different story from the earlier data: APT 1-I closed at $360,000 in February 2026, APT 4-A closed at $350,000 in May 2025, and APT 3-I closed at $335,000 in February 2025. Those three sales also show HOA fees of $412 to $518 per month, compared to $190 to $215 per month in the 2021 and 2022 sales. That jump matters for buyer budgeting.

The three-year price climb from the low-to-mid $200s to the $335,000–$360,000 range is significant. Buyers should not anchor to the older closed prices when evaluating current value. The 2025 and 2026 comparables are the operative range for any purchase or listing decision today.

About Columbus Court

Columbus Court is a 48-unit residential condominium complex located at 25 Chestnut Street in Norwalk, CT, built in 1987. The building is structured as a ranch-style apartment complex, meaning units are accessed on a single level rather than through a vertical townhouse layout. At 48 units, the complex is mid-sized for Norwalk, large enough to maintain shared costs efficiently but small enough that turnover is infrequent. The Chestnut Street address places Columbus Court within Norwalk’s established residential grid, accessible to downtown Norwalk and the South Norwalk train station without being on a high-traffic corridor. For buyers looking at Norwalk CT condos under $400,000, Columbus Court is one of the few addresses in the city where recent sales still land below that threshold.

Homes and Layouts at Columbus Court

Columbus Court units run from 960 to 1,044 square feet based on verified MLS data. The dominant unit type is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom flat at 960 square feet. The complex also includes at least one 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit at 1,044 square feet, based on the February 2026 sale of APT 1-I. The ranch-style, single-floor configuration means no stairs within units, which is a practical consideration for buyers who prioritize single-level living. Buyers should verify parking arrangements, outdoor space, and storage directly with the association or listing agent, as those details vary by unit position and are not confirmed in available MLS data.

What Buyers Need to Know

The HOA fee history at Columbus Court requires careful attention. The 2021 and early 2022 sales recorded HOA fees of $190 to $215 per month. By late 2022, the fee had risen to $215 per month. The three sales from 2025 and 2026 show fees of $412 to $518 per month. That is more than a doubling of the monthly carrying cost in roughly three years. Buyers must confirm the current HOA fee directly with the association before making any offer, and should request the association’s financial statements, reserve study, and meeting minutes from at least the past two years. A fee increase of this magnitude typically reflects rising insurance costs, deferred maintenance catch-up, or a reserve fund assessment. Understanding which of those drove the increase tells you whether future increases are likely.

Property taxes have also moved. The 2021 sales showed taxes of $2,551 per year. The 2025 and 2026 sales reflect taxes of $4,052 to $4,341 per year. Buyers should obtain current mill rate and assessment data from the City of Norwalk directly to confirm where a specific unit will land. Do not use the older tax figures as a planning baseline.

Columbus Court was built in 1987, which means buyers should ask specifically about the status of building systems, roof condition, and any history of special assessments. Request the full resale package, which in Connecticut includes the association’s financial statements, reserve fund balance, bylaws, rules and regulations, and any pending litigation or assessments. Review the resale package before going fully contingency-free. For a building of this age, the reserve fund balance is one of the most important numbers in that package. A thin reserve in a 37-year-old building is a material risk. Rental and pet policies should also be confirmed with the association, as these rules are not available in current MLS data and can affect both financing and future resale potential.

Buying or Selling at Columbus Court

Columbus Court sits at a price point that attracts serious buyer competition in Norwalk. With the Norwalk market showing a median across all property types near $660,000, a condominium closing in the $335,000 to $360,000 range draws buyers who are priced out of single-family inventory and buyers specifically choosing a lower-maintenance ownership structure. That demand concentration makes pricing strategy critical for sellers and move-speed important for buyers.

The Engel Team tracks closed data and off-market activity across Norwalk homes for sale and can provide a specific valuation for Columbus Court units based on the most recent 2025 and 2026 comparables, not outdated averages. For buyers, the team monitors upcoming availability and can position an offer before a unit is broadly listed. For sellers, pricing Columbus Court correctly in a market where Norwalk’s median sale price has declined 6.9% in recent months requires a tight read on where buyers are setting their ceiling in this price band specifically.
