Highland Mews Condos in Norwalk, CT

Highland Mews Condos for Sale

Highland Mews is a 29-unit townhouse-style condominium community built in 1988 on High Street in Norwalk, CT. With fewer than 30 units in the complex, turnover is limited. Most years produce two to four sales, and units rarely sit long when priced correctly. If you are watching this building, do not wait for a listing to appear before making contact. Availability at Highland Mews changes quickly, and off-market awareness matters here. To see current listings or get notified when a unit comes available, contact The Engel Team in Norwalk directly.

MLS records show 19 confirmed sales at Highland Mews. Closed prices ranged from $150,000 to $330,000. The median sale price across all recorded transactions was $265,000, with a median price per square foot of approximately $278. Unit sizes in the sales history ranged from 643 to 1,125 square feet.

The four most recent closings give the clearest read on current pricing:

The 2025 closings show a spread from $269,000 to $330,000 on one-bedroom units alone. That $61,000 gap on the same bedroom count reflects real variation in unit condition, floor level, and interior finish. The 797-square-foot unit that closed at $330,000 in May 2025 achieved $414 per square foot, well above the complex median. The two 643-square-foot units that closed in late 2025 came in at $443 and $419 per square foot, respectively. Buyers should not assume all one-bedrooms price the same here. Condition drives a meaningful premium. The broader Norwalk condominium market saw median prices decline approximately 6.9% in the first half of 2025, which makes precise unit-level pricing at Highland Mews more important, not less.

About Highland Mews

Highland Mews sits at 31 High Street in Norwalk, a location that puts residents within a short distance of downtown Norwalk’s South Norwalk corridor without the density of a large complex. Built in 1988, the community contains 29 units across a townhouse configuration. That building style, combined with the relatively small unit count, gives Highland Mews a different character than the larger condominium buildings along the Norwalk waterfront. This is not a high-rise. It is not a converted mill. It is a compact, purpose-built condominium community that has traded consistently since construction. For buyers considering Norwalk CT condos across multiple building types, the townhouse format here is a genuine differentiator.

Homes and Layouts at Highland Mews

Highland Mews offers one- and two-bedroom units in a ranch-style townhouse format. Unit sizes in the MLS sales record range from 643 to 1,125 square feet. The smallest units, at 643 square feet, are one-bedroom, one-bath configurations. The largest recorded units, at 1,125 square feet, include both one-bedroom, two-bath and two-bedroom, two-bath floor plans. The 910-square-foot units appear in the sales record as one-bedroom configurations, suggesting some variation in how the space is divided across the building’s floor plans.

HOA fees in the sales history have ranged from $176 to $307 per month depending on unit size and the year of sale. Current fees for smaller units appear to run around $200 per month. Larger units with higher square footage have historically carried fees closer to $300 per month. Buyers should confirm the current fee schedule directly with the association before making an offer, as fees at this building have moved over time.

What Buyers Need to Know

Highland Mews is a 1988 building, which means buyers should ask specific questions about reserve funding, building system updates, and any history of special assessments. A 35-plus-year-old condominium that has not undergone major system replacements, including roofing, siding, and HVAC components, may be approaching a capital expenditure cycle. Request the most recent reserve study and the association’s current reserve balance before committing to a purchase. If reserves are underfunded relative to the projected replacement schedule, a special assessment becomes a real possibility.

Property taxes across the sales record ranged from $2,497 to $4,266 per year. That variation is meaningful for buyers calculating total monthly carrying costs. At the high end of the 2025 sales, a buyer in unit APT 1-1A carries $4,266 in annual taxes plus a $220 monthly HOA fee, for a combined fixed carrying cost approaching $570 per month before mortgage. Run those numbers against the purchase price before assuming the entry point is as low as it appears.

Resale potential at Highland Mews is directly tied to unit condition. The sales data makes that clear. Units that have been updated sell at a measurable premium over unrenovated units of the same size. Buyers purchasing a unit that needs work should factor renovation costs into their offer price and think about resale value from day one. A renovated one-bedroom in the 797-to-910-square-foot range has consistently attracted buyer interest when priced correctly. An unrenovated unit in the same size class competes on price alone.

Buyers using conventional financing should confirm that the complex meets Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac owner-occupancy requirements. In a 29-unit building, a high investor concentration can affect financing availability. Ask for the current owner-occupancy ratio as part of your due diligence. Rental rules, pet policies, and any pending litigation against the association should also be reviewed in the resale package before waiving inspection or financing contingencies.

Buying or Selling at Highland Mews

With 19 recorded MLS sales spread across roughly a decade, Highland Mews does not generate the volume of comparable data that larger Norwalk complexes do. That makes accurate pricing harder and the cost of mispricing higher. Sellers who overprice relative to recent condition-adjusted comps will sit. Buyers who rely on the median without accounting for unit-specific finish and size will either overpay or miss opportunities.

The Engel Team works across the full range of Norwalk homes for sale, including condominium complexes where thin comp data requires a more precise approach to valuation. Whether you are considering a purchase at Highland Mews or trying to determine what your unit is worth in the current market, reach out directly. We can provide a current valuation, flag any units approaching the market before they list, and structure an offer or listing strategy built around what this building’s sales history actually shows.
