Maplewood Condos for Sale

Maplewood is a small complex with only 10 units, which means turnover is infrequent by nature. In a market where Norwalk CT condos at this price point move quickly, waiting for a unit to hit the open market can mean missing it entirely. No active listings are verified at this time, but availability changes without notice at a building this size. If Maplewood is on your list, contact The Engel Team directly. Off-market awareness matters here more than it does at larger buildings.

Norwalk’s broader condo market is showing tighter inventory in 2025, down roughly 10.6% compared to the prior year. That compression makes small buildings like Maplewood more competitive when a unit does appear. Buyers who wait for the listing to appear publicly are often already behind.

Recently Sold at Maplewood

MLS records show 11 sales at Maplewood across a multi-year window. Closed prices ranged from $179,700 to $400,000, with a median sale price of $255,000. Unit sizes ranged from 723 to 1,452 square feet. Median price per square foot came in at approximately $245. That figure reflects meaningful variation across the building, driven by unit size, bedroom count, and condition rather than floor level or view.

The most recent sale on record, Unit B1, closed in September 2025 at $255,000 for a 1-bed, 1-bath unit at 723 square feet, with an HOA of $220/month and taxes of $3,590/year. The prior two sales, both 2-bed, 2-bath units, closed in 2023 at $400,000 and $385,000, representing the upper end of what Maplewood has produced. Those sales reflect a specific moment in the market. The September 2025 sale at $255,000 for a smaller unit is not a signal of decline at the complex level; it reflects a different unit type entirely.

One pattern worth noting: HOA fees across recorded sales range from $220 to $350/month, with newer transactions tending toward the higher end. Buyers should confirm the current fee for any specific unit before making an offer, as individual unit assessments can differ within the same building.

About Maplewood

Maplewood is located at 50 Stuart Avenue in Norwalk, CT. It is a 10-unit condominium community built in a townhouse style, which sets it apart from the flat-style apartment buildings that make up most of Norwalk’s mid-market condo inventory. At 10 units, this is a genuinely small building. Association governance tends to be more direct at this scale, for better or worse, and the owner population is small enough that every unit change in occupancy affects the community’s character. The building is not a large managed complex with on-site staff. It is a small association where owners have real visibility into how the building is run.

Stuart Avenue sits within the broader Norwalk CT real estate market, which spans a wide range of property types and price points. Among Norwalk’s condo options, Maplewood occupies the lower-to-mid price tier, with verified sales ranging from the high $100,000s to $400,000. That range places it well below Norwalk’s overall median sale price of $660,000 across all property types, making it a legitimate entry point into Norwalk ownership without the carrying costs that come with single-family homes in the same market.

Homes and Layouts at Maplewood

Maplewood’s unit mix skews toward 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom configurations. The majority of verified MLS sales, nine of the eleven recorded, were 2-bed, 2-bath units. One recorded sale was a 1-bed, 1-bath unit at 723 square feet. The largest unit to sell was 1,452 square feet; the smallest was 723 square feet. Most 2-bed units fall in the 960 to 1,356 square foot range.

The townhouse construction style means units are likely vertical in layout rather than single-level flats. That typically translates to living space on one level and sleeping space on another, with a separate entry point. This layout suits buyers who want the feel of a small house without the maintenance responsibility of one. Specific floor plan details, parking arrangements, and outdoor space configurations should be confirmed directly with the seller’s agent or through the association documents for any unit you are seriously evaluating.

What Buyers Need to Know

HOA fees at Maplewood vary by unit, based on verified sales data. Recorded fees range from $220 to $350/month. The current posted figure is $300/month as a general reference, but that number should be verified against the specific unit under contract. Property taxes across recorded sales range from approximately $3,590 to $4,642/year, with newer sales trending toward the lower end of that range, likely reflecting updated assessments.

With only 10 units in the association, reserve fund depth is a critical due diligence point. Small associations are more vulnerable to underfunded reserves because any capital repair cost is spread across fewer owners. Before closing, buyers should request the most recent reserve study, the current reserve balance, and any history of special assessments. A building of this age and size, with no confirmed construction year on file, should be treated as a building that has had or could have mechanical and structural updates that require association funding. Ask specifically about roof condition, HVAC systems, and common area infrastructure.

Rental restrictions, pet policies, and owner-occupancy ratios are not confirmed in available data and must be verified through the association’s governing documents. The owner-occupancy ratio matters for buyers using conventional financing, as lenders apply different underwriting standards to buildings with high investor or rental concentrations. At a 10-unit building, a single non-owner-occupied unit represents 10% of the total, and that math compounds quickly if multiple units are rented.

Renovation variation between units is likely at a building with this many years of sales history. Units sold in 2016 and 2017 may have original finishes. Units sold in 2023 may have been updated. That variation affects both pricing and your mortgage appraisal. Do not assume comparable sales are directly equivalent without confirming condition.

Resale package review is not optional. Connecticut law requires sellers to provide a resale package that includes the declaration, bylaws, budget, reserve study, and meeting minutes. Read those documents before removing contingencies. They will tell you more about the building’s financial condition than the listing description will.

Buying or Selling at Maplewood

At a 10-unit building with infrequent turnover, pricing a unit correctly requires close reading of the available comp set. Eleven sales over a multi-year window is a workable data set, but the spread between a 723-square-foot 1-bed and a 1,452-square-foot 2-bed means that no single comp applies cleanly to every unit. The Engel Team works with both buyers and sellers at small Norwalk complexes and understands how to position units where the comp pool is thin.

Sellers at Maplewood should expect buyers to scrutinize HOA documents and reserve levels closely, particularly in the current market where Norwalk has seen a decline in median sale price of roughly 6.9%, with that drop concentrated in the first half of 2025. That context does not mean your unit cannot sell well. It means pricing it precisely matters more now than it did two years ago.

Buyers looking at Norwalk homes for sale across all property types should understand where Maplewood sits in the local price tier and what the verified sales history tells you about realistic value expectations at this address.
