Lakeside Danbury CT
Opening Overview
Lakeside is a small townhouse condominium complex on Hayestown Road in Danbury, built between 2005 and 2012. Across 10 recorded MLS sales, closed prices have ranged from $335,000 to $505,000, with a median sale price of $425,000 and a median price per square foot of approximately $201. That range tells you something important: condition and unit size drive significant spread in a complex this small. With only seven units, pricing a Lakeside condominium correctly requires a close read of the individual unit, not just a glance at the headline median. For buyers evaluating Danbury CT condos, Lakeside sits at a price point that delivers meaningful square footage compared to the broader Danbury condo market.
Lakeside Condos for Sale
With just seven units in the complex, Lakeside does not see frequent turnover. Availability at any given time is limited, and when units do come to market, they tend to move. Active listings change quickly and are not always reflected in public-facing portals before they go under contract. If you are tracking Lakeside specifically, the most reliable approach is direct monitoring through an agent with MLS access. Contact The Engel Team to be notified the moment a unit becomes available, or to explore whether any off-market opportunities exist at Lakeside before they are listed publicly. You can also browse current Danbury homes for sale to see what else is active in the market while you wait.
Recently Sold at Lakeside
MLS records show 10 closed sales at Lakeside. The most recent verified sale was Unit 1, which closed in March 2025 at $425,000 for a 3-bedroom, 3-bath unit with 2,217 square feet, carrying an HOA fee of $405 per month and annual taxes of $5,954. Prior to that, Unit 16 closed in November 2024 at $505,000 for 2,156 square feet, and Unit 12 closed in September 2024 at $485,000 for 2,132 square feet. Both carried HOA fees of $290 per month.
The 2022 sales tell a different story. Four units traded between $370,000 and $435,000 during that period, with HOA fees ranging from $275 to $397 per month depending on the unit. The spread in HOA fees across units in the same complex is worth noting. It is not uniform, and buyers should confirm the specific monthly assessment for any unit they are considering before making an offer.

| 16 | 10/19/2020 | $350,000 | 3/3 | 2,132 | $275 | $5,733 |

| 18 | 10/19/2018 | $335,000 | 3/3 | 2,100 | — | $5,733 |
Price appreciation from the 2020 sales at $350,000 to the 2024–2025 range of $425,000–$505,000 represents roughly 20 to 44 percent depending on the unit, with the larger, better-finished units capturing the top end of that range. The $201 per square foot median is below the broader Danbury CT real estate market median for comparable product, which may reflect the Hayestown Road location rather than a deficiency in the units themselves.
About Lakeside
Lakeside is located at 17 Hayestown Road in Danbury, a small community of seven townhouse-style condominium units built across a construction window spanning 2005 to 2012. The phased build means that not all units were delivered simultaneously, which can produce variation in finishes, systems age, and original construction specs between the earliest and latest units. The Hayestown Road location places the complex on the western side of Danbury, within reach of Lake Kenosia, which accounts for the Lakeside name. The complex is not waterfront in the traditional sense, but the proximity to the lake corridor defines its setting and gives the complex its identity within the local condo landscape.
Homes and Layouts at Lakeside
Every recorded sale at Lakeside has been a 3-bedroom, 3-bath unit. Unit sizes across MLS sales have ranged from 1,537 to 2,217 square feet, with most units falling in the 2,100 to 2,200 square foot range. The townhouse format means a vertical layout across multiple floors rather than a single-level flat, which suits buyers who want more separation between living and sleeping areas. The smallest recorded unit at 1,537 square feet sold for $370,000 in 2022. The largest recorded unit at 2,217 square feet sold for $425,000 in March 2025. Buyers should expect a multi-story floor plan, typical of townhouse construction, with some variation in layout and finish quality between units depending on build year and any subsequent renovation work done by individual owners.
What Buyers Need to Know
HOA fees at Lakeside are not uniform. Recorded fees across MLS transactions have ranged from $275 to $405 per month. The baseline association fee is listed at $280 per month, but individual units have carried fees meaningfully above that, including one unit at $405 per month. Before making an offer, confirm the exact monthly assessment for the specific unit, what that fee covers, and whether any special assessments are pending or have been levied in the past three years.
With only seven units in the complex, the reserve fund is a critical due diligence item. A small association has fewer owners contributing to reserves, which means one major capital expenditure, a roof, HVAC system, or shared infrastructure repair, could trigger a special assessment that hits each owner proportionally harder than in a larger complex. Request the most recent reserve study and association financials before going under contract.
Property taxes vary by unit. Recorded annual taxes range from $4,582 to $7,006 depending on the unit, a spread of more than $2,400 per year. That is a meaningful difference and should be factored into your monthly cost analysis before you compare units on price alone.
The phased construction between 2005 and 2012 means units may differ in mechanical system age, insulation standards, and original finish specifications. A buyer purchasing a unit built in 2005 is evaluating a building system that is now 20 years old. Request disclosure on HVAC, water heater, roof, and any major system replacement history specific to the unit you are considering, not just the complex as a whole.
Rental rules, pet policies, and owner-occupancy ratios for Lakeside should be confirmed directly with the association or through the resale package. For a seven-unit complex, owner-occupancy ratios can affect conventional financing eligibility. If you are financing with a conventional loan, your lender will require an owner-occupancy certification from the association. Confirm this before assuming standard financing terms apply.
Buying or Selling at Lakeside
Selling at Lakeside means pricing against a thin comparable set. Ten recorded sales across seven units over several years does not give you the depth of a 100-unit complex. Pricing a unit $30,000 above where the data supports it will sit. Pricing it correctly will move it. The Engel Team can provide a detailed unit-level valuation that accounts for square footage, build year, finish level, and the specific HOA fee attached to your unit, not just a surface-level comparison to the median.
For buyers, the same data scarcity that makes pricing complex also creates opportunity. If you understand the sales history better than competing buyers, you can make a well-structured offer with confidence. The Engel Team monitors Lakeside activity and can provide off-market visibility and offer strategy specific to this complex.
Reach out to The Engel Team directly to discuss current availability at Lakeside, request a valuation for a unit you own, or get guidance on the due diligence steps that matter most in a small association like this one.
