Linden Ridge Condos in Norwalk, CT

Linden Ridge Condos for Sale

Linden Ridge is a 26-unit townhouse condominium built in 1985 on Linden in Norwalk, CT. With only 26 units in the complex, turnover is infrequent by definition. Across the full MLS history available, 13 sales have closed, which works out to roughly one sale per year on average. Some years see two closings. Some years see none. Buyers watching this complex need to move when something becomes available, because waiting for the next unit often means waiting a long time. Active inventory changes quickly.

Recently Sold at Linden Ridge

The MLS shows 13 recorded sales at Linden Ridge. The two most recent closings both occurred in mid-2025, and they tell the current story clearly: Apt 5 closed at $385,000 on July 9, 2025, and APT 15 closed at $389,000 on June 24, 2025. Both were 2-bedroom units at 1,170 square feet, putting the price per square foot at approximately $329–$333 on the most recent trades. That is a significant move from the 2021 sale at $290,000 and the 2023 sale at $375,000, reflecting how sharply prices compressed and then recovered within a short window.

Across all 13 recorded sales, closed prices ranged from $185,000 (a 2019 outlier that likely reflected condition or other factors) to $389,000. The median across the full sale history is $308,000. The median price per square foot across the dataset is approximately $250. Unit sizes across all sales ranged from 1,170 to 1,644 square feet, suggesting some variation in floor plan or layout within the complex.

It is worth noting that Norwalk’s broader market saw its median sales price decline approximately 6.9% in the first half of 2025, with that softening concentrated in the early months of the year. Linden Ridge’s two most recent closings, both in summer 2025, held near the high end of the complex’s recorded history, which suggests this complex has absorbed the wider market pressure without a material price drop at the unit level.

About Linden Ridge

Linden Ridge is a small condominium community at 21 Linden in Norwalk, CT. The complex was built in 1985 and contains 26 units. At that scale, it functions more like a small residential cluster than a large managed complex, which affects everything from the association budget to the pace of common-area decisions. Norwalk’s broader condominium inventory spans a wide range of price points. Linden Ridge sits in the middle of that range, with recent sales landing just below the Norwalk-wide median of $660,000 for all property types. For buyers specifically comparing Norwalk CT condos, Linden Ridge represents an accessible price point in a small, stable complex with a multi-year track record of sales.

Homes and Layouts at Linden Ridge

All units at Linden Ridge are two-bedroom townhouses. The MLS sales history shows bathroom counts ranging from two to three baths across different units, which suggests some variation in layout or finished basement space. Unit sizes across verified sales ranged from 1,170 to 1,644 square feet. The larger units, such as the 1,644-square-foot Unit 1 and the 1,570-square-foot Unit 6, represent a meaningful size premium within the complex. The most commonly traded size in the MLS data is 1,170 square feet, which appears in at least six of the 13 recorded sales.

The townhouse format means vertical living: multiple floors, private entry, and a layout that generally separates sleeping and living spaces more distinctly than a flat-style condominium. Buyers who have owned single-family homes and are moving toward lower-maintenance ownership often find the townhouse format more comfortable than a single-floor flat. Whether units include attached garages, dedicated parking, or outdoor private space is not confirmed in the available MLS data, and buyers should verify parking and storage specifics directly with the listing or the association before making an offer.

What Buyers Need to Know

HOA fees at Linden Ridge have increased over time. Early sales in 2017 and 2018 show no HOA fee listed or fees around $247–$249 per month. By 2022, the HOA had reached $274 per month. The two most recent 2025 closings show fees of $325 and $340 per month. That is a roughly 25–30% increase from the 2022 level in approximately three years. Buyers should request the current association budget, the reserve fund balance, and any approved or pending special assessments before closing. A 26-unit complex has a narrow financial base, which means a single large capital expenditure, a new roof, a repaved parking area, a structural repair, can either draw down reserves quickly or trigger an assessment.

Property taxes have also moved up. Recent sales show annual tax figures ranging from $5,313 to $5,731, which represents a meaningful increase from the $3,994 figure seen in the 2021 sale. Buyers should verify the current mill rate and assessed value for any specific unit rather than relying on older sale disclosures.

Resale value at Linden Ridge has generally tracked upward, with the 2025 closings near the top of the complex’s recorded history. However, buyers evaluating resale potential should note that the price range here, $185,000 to $389,000 across all sales, reflects a complex where condition, floor plan size, and finished space drive meaningful price differences between units. A 1,170-square-foot unit and a 1,644-square-foot unit carry different long-term resale trajectories, and buyers should understand which configuration they are purchasing. Request the resale package from the association, which will include governing documents, current financials, meeting minutes, and any pending litigation or deferred maintenance disclosures. In a small complex, those documents carry more weight than in a large managed property with professional oversight.

Rental rules, pet policies, and owner-occupancy ratios are not confirmed in the available data. Buyers using conventional or FHA financing should verify whether the complex meets lender warrantability requirements, since small condominium associations sometimes fall outside standard approval thresholds. That affects both the buyer’s financing options and the pool of future buyers when it comes time to sell.

Buying or Selling at Linden Ridge

Pricing a unit at Linden Ridge requires reading the comp set carefully. With only 13 total MLS sales across the complex’s history, no two units have traded at identical conditions, and size differences of a few hundred square feet produce price swings of $30,000 to $50,000 or more. A seller who prices based on the most recent $389,000 closing without accounting for unit size, condition, or HOA fee differences is setting up for a difficult negotiation. A buyer who anchors to the 2021 sale at $290,000 without understanding the current HOA structure is working from an incomplete picture.

The Engel Team works with buyers and sellers throughout Norwalk’s residential market, including condominium sales where thin comparable data makes accurate pricing more important, not less. For sellers, that means a valuation grounded in the actual MLS history at this complex, not broad Norwalk averages. For buyers, it means off-market monitoring, association document review, and offer strategy that accounts for the low turnover rate at a 26-unit property.
