Enclave on Willard Condos in Norwalk, CT

Enclave on Willard Condos for Sale

With only 14 units in the building, turnover at Enclave on Willard is infrequent. The MLS shows six sales across nearly a decade, which means any given unit may sit off-market for years before it becomes available. Buyers who wait for a listing to appear on Zillow often miss the window entirely. If you are tracking Norwalk CT condos in this price range and size category, Enclave on Willard warrants active monitoring rather than passive searching. The Engel Team tracks off-market movement at complexes like this one. Contact us directly if you want to know when a unit becomes available before it hits the public market.

Recently Sold at Enclave on Willard

Six sales have closed at Enclave on Willard through the MLS. Prices ranged from $193,800 to $475,000, with a median of $427,500. The median price per square foot across recorded sales was approximately $270. Unit sizes spanned 577 to 1,710 square feet, with the low end representing a one-bedroom, one-bath configuration and the upper end covering two-bedroom, three-bath townhouse layouts at 1,527–1,710 square feet.

The two-bedroom, three-bath units at 1,710 square feet have sold between $430,000 and $475,000 in the most recent transactions, with Unit 5 closing at $475,000 in August 2022 and Unit 4 at $449,000 in December 2021. The 1,527-square-foot two-bedroom units traded at $425,000 and $430,000 in 2020 and 2021. The single one-bedroom sale on record, Unit 2 at 577 square feet, closed at $193,800 in April 2020 and is a clear outlier in both size and price relative to the rest of the building.

The most recent comparable sale, Unit 5 at $475,000 in August 2022, is now the ceiling on record. With the broader Norwalk CT real estate market showing a 6.9% decline in median sale price in early 2025, buyers evaluating current asking prices at Enclave on Willard should weigh that context carefully. Six sales is a thin comp set, and one outlier in either direction can distort price-per-square-foot calculations significantly.

About Enclave on Willard

Enclave on Willard is a small-scale townhouse condominium development at 12 Willard in Norwalk, built in 2014. At 14 units total, it is one of the smaller purpose-built condominium communities in Norwalk, which distinguishes it immediately from the larger condo buildings concentrated along the South Norwalk waterfront or near the transit corridor. The 2014 construction date means buyers inherit relatively modern building systems, framing, and mechanical infrastructure compared to the converted or adaptive-reuse buildings common in this price range. No asbestos, no deferred 1970s infrastructure. That is not a minor consideration when evaluating total cost of ownership over a five-to-ten-year hold period.

Homes and Layouts at Enclave on Willard

The building includes one-bedroom and two-bedroom configurations in a townhouse format. The two-bedroom units run in two size brackets: 1,527 square feet and 1,710 square feet, both with three bathrooms. The single documented one-bedroom unit checked in at 577 square feet with one bathroom, though it is not clear from MLS records whether that configuration represents the full inventory of smaller units in the building or a single outlier floor plan. The townhouse style means vertical layout across multiple floors rather than a single-level flat, with the practical implications for daily use that come with that: stairs, potential for a lower-level entry or garage, and more separation between living and sleeping areas than a flat-style condominium would provide. For buyers downsizing from a single-family home who still want a sense of layered space, the two-bedroom townhouse units at 1,527–1,710 square feet hit a reasonable middle ground.

What Buyers Need to Know

The current HOA fee is $331 per month, which aligns with the $331 recorded for Unit 7 in the 2020 transaction data. Earlier sales show HOA figures as low as $111 for the one-bedroom unit and as high as $364 for two-bedroom units, suggesting that the fee may be structured by unit size or type rather than a flat association-wide rate. Buyers should confirm which fee tier applies to the specific unit under consideration before proceeding.

Current property taxes are approximately $6,628 per year based on available data, though the 2015 sale of Unit 14 showed a tax figure of $9,999, which likely reflects either a pre-abatement assessment or a data anomaly from the building’s first year of operation. Confirm the current mill rate and assessment with the City of Norwalk assessor’s office, not the listing sheet.

At 14 units, the association is small. Small associations carry specific financial risks: a single large capital expenditure, such as a roof replacement or major structural repair, spreads across fewer owners and can produce a meaningful special assessment if reserves are insufficient. Before making an offer, request the most recent reserve study, the last two years of meeting minutes, and the current reserve fund balance. New construction from 2014 reduces the probability of an immediate assessment, but any building approaching the ten-to-fifteen-year mark on major systems should be evaluated on reserve adequacy, not just age.

Resale potential at a 14-unit condominium development depends heavily on buyer financing constraints. Lenders applying conventional guidelines may scrutinize owner-occupancy ratios, litigation history, and insurance coverage at small associations more carefully than at larger, well-established developments. A buyer using conventional financing should have their lender run a warrantability check on the association before committing to an inspection. Resale value is also constrained by the thin comp set: with only six recorded sales, pricing a future resale accurately requires granular analysis of current Norwalk inventory rather than a simple extrapolation from past sales.

Pet policies, rental restrictions, and renovation approval processes are not confirmed in available MLS data. Request the current declaration, bylaws, and rules and regulations directly from the association before closing.
