Longbrook Condos for Sale

Off-market awareness and early notice on incoming listings are part of how buyers win at a complex this size.

Recently Sold at Longbrook

MLS records show 12 sales at Longbrook. Closed prices ranged from $72,500 to $190,000, with a median of $141,000 and a median price per square foot of approximately $193/SF. Unit sizes across those sales ran from 646 to 882 square feet. The two most recent transactions both closed in January 2025 — APT 104, a 1BR/1BA at 702 SF, sold for $170,000, and APT 108, a 2BR/1BA at 882 SF, sold for $190,000. Those two closings represent the upper end of the recorded range and suggest the 2025 market is running noticeably ahead of where units cleared in 2021 and 2022.

One data point worth flagging: unit 101 sold twice in the recorded set, at $145,000 in May 2023 and then again at $168,500 in March 2024 – a $23,500 gain in under ten months. That resale trajectory is consistent with the broader upward movement visible across the comp set from 2021 through early 2025.

About Longbrook

Longbrook is a 43-unit condominium complex at 925 Longbrook Avenue in Stratford, CT. Built in 1972, it is a ranch-style building with elevator access – a combination that is not easy to find at this price point in Fairfield County. The building is compact by condominium standards, which matters for association governance: with 43 units, Longbrook operates as a true community rather than a large-scale managed property. That scale tends to produce more direct owner involvement and, in most cases, quicker decision-making on maintenance and capital issues. The Stratford town median sale price across all property types sits at $427,500, which puts Longbrook’s price range well below the town median and squarely in the most accessible segment of the Stratford market.

Homes and Layouts at Longbrook

Longbrook offers one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. Based on MLS records, one-bedroom units range from approximately 646 to 831 square feet. Two-bedroom units run at 882 square feet in the recorded sales. All units reviewed in the sales history are one-bath configurations. The building is elevator-served and built in a ranch style, which generally means single-level flats rather than multi-floor townhouse layouts. That matters for buyers with mobility concerns or those downsizing from a larger home who do not want stairs inside the unit. Parking and specific outdoor space details are not confirmed in available data and should be verified with the association directly before making an offer.

What Buyers Need to Know

HOA fees in the recorded sales run from $140 to $168 per month, with the current baseline around $143/month for standard one-bedroom units and $149/month for two-bedroom units. Property taxes on one-bedroom units have generally fallen in the $2,200 to $2,530 range. Two-bedroom units carry higher tax bills, with APT 108 assessed at $2,752/year as of its January 2025 closing.

Because Longbrook was built in 1972, reserves and building systems deserve direct scrutiny before closing. Ask for the most recent reserve study, the current reserve fund balance, and any history of special assessments. A building of this age may be carrying deferred maintenance on roofing, elevators, plumbing, or common mechanical systems. The difference between a well-run 50-year-old condominium and a poorly-run one is visible in the reserve account – request documentation, not assurances.

Renovation variation between units is also worth noting. Twelve sales across multiple years show a price spread from $72,500 to $190,000 for units that overlap in square footage. Some of that spread reflects market timing, but unit condition and interior updates account for a meaningful portion of the gap. Buyers should walk the unit carefully and price condition into their offer. A 723 SF unit that closed at $108,000 in mid-2022 and a 723 SF unit that closed at $151,000 in mid-2024 are not the same unit at different prices – they likely represent different finish levels and conditions.

Resale value at Longbrook has moved consistently upward across the recorded comp set, but the thin sales volume means individual unit condition and timing carry outsized weight. A single distressed sale or deferred-maintenance unit can distort comps at a 43-unit building. Buyers should pull the full resale package, review the association meeting minutes for the prior two years, and confirm the owner-occupancy ratio before committing. Lender financing requirements for condominium purchases often include minimum owner-occupancy thresholds, and a building with a high percentage of investor-owned units can limit the available mortgage products.

Rental rules, pet policy, and any pending special assessments are not confirmed in available public data. Verify all three with the association or its management company before submitting an offer.

Buying or Selling at Longbrook

Longbrook’s thin sales volume cuts both ways. For buyers, it means fewer active comps and more pricing uncertainty – which is exactly when having an agent who tracks the building closely matters most. For sellers, it means the right pricing and presentation strategy can move a unit quickly in a market where buyers at this price point are often motivated and pre-approved.
