Somerset Condos in Fairfield, CT

Somerset: What the Numbers Say First

Somerset is a 25-unit single-family detached condominium community at 90 Crosby Street in Fairfield, CT, built between 1995 and 1997. Twelve verified MLS sales on record show a price range of $390,000 to $725,000, with a median sale price of $535,000 and a median price per square foot of approximately $236. That positions Somerset well below the broader Fairfield market, where the median sold price was approximately $1,072,500 in early 2026. For buyers who want detached living, a pond setting, and a real backyard without crossing into that price tier, Somerset is one of the few places in town that delivers all three. With only 25 units and a turnover rate that averages roughly one or two sales per year, availability here is genuinely limited. When a unit comes to market, it moves.

Somerset Condos for Sale

Somerset does not have constant inventory. At 25 units and a pace of roughly one to two sales annually based on MLS history, most buyers will need to be patient or be ready to act quickly when a unit appears. Availability changes faster than most buyers expect at a community this size. If you are actively watching this complex, the best approach is to have a search alert set for 90 Crosby Street specifically and to work with an agent who tracks Fairfield CT condos directly, including any off-market or pre-market opportunities. Contact The Engel Team for current availability and to be notified the moment a Somerset unit is listed or rumored to be coming available.

Recently Sold at Somerset

Twelve sales on record give a clear picture of how Somerset has traded over time. Prices have climbed substantially. The lowest recorded sale in MLS history is $390,000 in August 2017.

Units with four baths, which appear frequently in the sales data, have tended to command a small premium over three-bath configurations at comparable square footage.

Median price per square foot across the full dataset is approximately $236, though the most recent sales cluster closer to $340–$370 per square foot, reflecting the broader Fairfield market appreciation since 2020.

About Somerset

Somerset is a small, self-contained condominium community of 25 detached single-family homes built between 1995 and 1997 on Crosby Street in Fairfield. The community includes a pond, which gives the setting a quieter, more residential feel than most attached condo complexes in the area. At 25 units, Somerset is one of the more intimate condominium communities in Fairfield. That scale has trade-offs. The HOA budget works across a smaller base, which matters when evaluating reserve adequacy. The upside is less turnover in the common areas and a neighborhood-level familiarity among owners that larger complexes rarely develop. The detached format means no shared walls, which is the primary reason buyers choose this complex over townhouse-style or flat-style condominiums at comparable price points.

Homes and Layouts at Somerset

Every unit at Somerset carries three bedrooms. Bath counts in the MLS sales data range from three to five, with most units showing three or four baths. Square footage across 12 recorded sales ranges from 1,945 to 2,885 square feet, a meaningful spread within a 25-unit community that suggests meaningful variation between units, whether by floor plan type, finished basement, or addition. Buyers should not assume two units with the same bedroom count are comparable in size. A 3/3 unit at 1,957 square feet and a 3/4 unit at 2,885 square feet are materially different products, and the pricing data reflects that difference. The detached single-family style means each unit has its own exterior envelope, which affects both maintenance responsibility and the feel of daily life relative to an attached or stacked condominium format.

What Buyers Need to Know

The HOA fee has ranged from $350 to $400 per month across recorded sales, with the most recent transactions showing $400 per month. The baseline fee listed for the complex is $370 per month. Any buyer should request the current HOA fee schedule, the most recent reserve study, the budget for the current fiscal year, and meeting minutes from the past 12 to 24 months before making an offer. Reserve adequacy matters more in a 25-unit community than in a 200-unit complex. A single large-ticket repair, whether roofing, paving, or structural, hits each owner harder when spread across fewer units. Ask specifically whether any special assessments have been levied in the past five years and whether any are planned or under discussion.

Somerset is classified as a condominium under CT law, so buyers should confirm the insurance structure: specifically, what the master policy covers versus what individual unit owners are responsible for. Detached units in condo communities can carry hybrid insurance obligations that differ from both traditional condos and standalone single-family homes. Confirm this with the association’s insurance carrier and your own agent before closing.

Rental rules, pet policy, and owner-occupancy ratio are not publicly verified for Somerset. Buyers who plan to rent the unit or bring pets should request the full declaration, bylaws, and rules and regulations directly from the HOA or management company. The owner-occupancy ratio can affect mortgage terms, particularly for buyers seeking conventional financing, and should be confirmed with the lender early in the process.

Units vary in how they have been updated since original construction in the mid-1990s. A 30-year-old detached home, even in a managed community, will show meaningful differences between a unit that has been renovated and one that has not. Kitchen and bath condition, mechanical systems, and windows are the primary variables to evaluate during inspection. Do not price units based solely on square footage without accounting for renovation level.

Buying or Selling at Somerset

Pricing a Somerset unit accurately requires understanding which sales are genuinely comparable. Not every three-bedroom sale in this complex is the same product. Square footage, bath count, renovation level, lot position, and pond orientation all affect value. The Engel Team tracks Fairfield CT condos across all active communities and maintains a current view of Somerset’s sales history, including off-market context that does not appear in public MLS data.

For sellers, the 12-sale MLS record is useful but limited. Getting the pricing right at Somerset means knowing which recent sales involved updated kitchens, which had finished lower levels, and how the market has moved since the last comparable closed. The Engel Team can provide a detailed valuation specific to your unit’s actual condition and configuration.

For buyers watching Fairfield CT real estate, Somerset offers detached single-family living at a meaningful discount to the town’s broader median. The trade-off is limited availability and HOA obligations that require careful review before committing. If you are searching Fairfield homes for sale and want to include Somerset in your search, contact The Engel Team directly. We monitor this community and can alert you to units before they appear publicly or move before you have a chance to act.
