Douglas Court Condos for Sale

Douglas Court has five units total. That is not a typo. At this scale, available inventory is rare by definition — most years, no units trade at all. When one does come to market, it tends to attract buyers who have already done their homework on the complex, because there is no comparable substitute nearby at this price point with this footprint. If you are watching Douglas Court for an opening, the right move is to be on a short list before anything hits the public MLS. Contact The Engel Team’s Stamford listings page to get notified the moment a unit becomes available or a seller starts exploring their options quietly.

Recently Sold at Douglas Court

MLS records show five sales at Douglas Court going back to 2015. Closed prices ranged from $325,000 to $500,000, with a median sale price of $407,500. Unit sizes ran from 1,622 square feet up to 2,907 square feet, producing a median price per square foot of approximately $200. The table below shows every recorded sale:

Unit	Date	Price	Bed/Bath	SqFt	HOA/mo	Tax/yr
E	06/17/2021	$407,500	3/3	1,622	$335	$5,569
B	07/19/2019	$500,000	4/3	2,907	$200	$7,500
A	09/19/2017	$380,000	3/2	1,622	—	$5,650
B	09/06/2017	$483,500	4/3	2,907	—	$8,481
B	12/28/2015	$325,000	3/2	1,622	—	$5,502

The spread between a 1,622-square-foot unit and a 2,907-square-foot unit is significant — nearly 80 percent more floor area in the larger configuration. Unit B has sold three times in the MLS record and commands a consistent premium over the smaller units. That premium has held, ranging from $483,500 in 2017 to $500,000 in 2019. Buyers pricing a current listing at Douglas Court should weight Unit B sales separately from the smaller three-bedroom comparables, because the per-square-foot math diverges enough to matter in a negotiation. Given that all recorded sales predate 2022 and Stamford’s broader market has shifted since then, buyers and sellers should request a current comparative market analysis before anchoring to these figures.

About Douglas Court

Douglas Court sits at 421 Hope Street in Stamford, CT. The complex was built in 1974 and consists of five townhouse-style units on a small residential parcel. At five units, this is not a large condominium development in any conventional sense — it functions more like a small cluster of attached homes sharing association structure and costs. The location puts residents near Strawberry Hill, with access to waterfront parks along Long Island Sound and proximity to the Stillmeadow Elementary and Rogers International School attendance zones. The surrounding streetscape is residential and low-density. For buyers comparing Douglas Court to larger Stamford CT condo communities, the defining characteristic here is scale: five owners, one small association, and a level of neighborly accountability that larger buildings simply do not have.

Homes and Layouts at Douglas Court

Douglas Court offers two distinct unit sizes based on MLS sales history. The smaller configuration runs approximately 1,622 square feet with three bedrooms and two or three bathrooms. The larger configuration, associated with Unit B, runs approximately 2,907 square feet with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Both are townhouse-style units, meaning vertical layouts with living space on one level and bedrooms on another. Garage parking is available. The townhouse format typically delivers more privacy than a flat-style condominium and more defined outdoor space per unit. Interior finishes vary by unit given the building’s 1974 construction date — some units have been updated and some have not, which affects both livability and pricing. Buyers should request unit-specific renovation history before drawing comparisons across the sales table above.

What Buyers Need to Know

HOA fees in the MLS record have ranged from $200 to $335 per month depending on the unit and the sale year. The current estimated HOA is $268 per month. At five total units, the association has a narrow financial base. That is the single most important due diligence fact for any buyer here. A small reserve pool means that one significant capital expenditure, a roof replacement, a foundation repair, a shared utility failure, can result in a special assessment that hits all five owners at once. Buyers should request the current reserve study, the most recent two years of meeting minutes, and the full reserve fund balance before making an offer.

Property taxes in the MLS record have ranged from $5,502 to $8,481 annually depending on unit size and assessment year. The typical figure for the smaller units is near $5,650. Buyers should verify the current assessed value directly with the City of Stamford assessor, as assessments are periodically updated and the MLS figures above reflect prior sale years.

The complex is located near waterfront parks along Long Island Sound. Buyers should confirm the specific flood zone designation for 421 Hope Street through FEMA’s flood map service and verify whether flood insurance is required by their lender. Even if the units themselves are not in a high-risk zone, proximity to the Sound can affect insurance costs and lender underwriting. Title review should confirm whether any easements or shared-access agreements affect the parcel.

Resale potential at Douglas Court is tied directly to unit condition and the overall health of the association. In a five-unit building, a poorly maintained common area or a financially stressed HOA will be visible to every buyer who walks through. Sellers preparing for the market should obtain a resale package that includes the current financials, reserve balance, any pending assessments, and the most recent budget. Buyers should treat the resale package as non-negotiable — at this association size, there is no margin for surprises after closing.

Rental restrictions, owner-occupancy ratios, and pet policies should be confirmed directly with the association or its managing agent. These rules are not standardized across small Stamford associations and can affect both financing eligibility and future flexibility for owners who may need to lease their unit.

Buying or Selling at Douglas Court

Pricing a unit at Douglas Court correctly requires reading five sales over roughly six years and then adjusting for current Stamford market conditions, unit-specific renovation status, and the association’s financial position. That is not a job for an automated valuation tool. The Stamford CT real estate market has moved since the most recent recorded sale in 2021, and any pricing strategy that does not account for that shift will either leave money on the table or sit unsold.

The Engel Team works with buyers and sellers at small Stamford complexes where public data is thin and off-market awareness matters. If you own a unit at Douglas Court and are considering a sale, a current valuation based on actual Stamford townhouse and condominium comps will give you a more accurate starting point than the MLS history above. If you are a buyer monitoring the complex, getting on a direct notification list is the only reliable way to move before a listing reaches broad public exposure. Reach out through The Engel Team’s Stamford homes page to start that conversation.
