Strathmore Condos for Sale

Availability at Strathmore moves quickly. This is a 64-unit townhouse condominium community, and turnover is limited. With only 8 recorded MLS sales across multiple years, units here do not come to market often. When they do, they tend to move. If you are watching Norwalk CT condos and Strathmore is on your list, waiting for a public listing is not the right strategy. Contact The Engel Team directly to monitor off-market activity and get advance notice when a unit becomes available.

About Strathmore

Strathmore is a 64-unit townhouse condominium community located at 79 Strathmore in Norwalk, CT. Built in 1980, it is a well-established complex with a multi-decade track record of sales and owner history. The community is structured as individual townhouse units rather than stacked flats, which gives residents a more independent living experience than a typical mid-rise condominium building. The pool is the primary shared amenity. For buyers comparing options across Norwalk CT real estate, the townhouse format is a meaningful distinction: you are getting a vertical unit with your own entry rather than a corridor-style building, which affects both day-to-day experience and resale positioning.

Homes and Layouts at Strathmore

Strathmore offers 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom townhouse units. Based on MLS sales data, the standard 2-bedroom units clock in at 1,440 square feet and typically carry 3 bathrooms. The 1-bedroom configuration is smaller, at 1,224 square feet, with 2 bathrooms. One outlier sale, Unit 29, recorded 1,510 square feet on a 2-bedroom floor plan, suggesting some variability in layout across the 64-unit building. The townhouse format means you are dealing with a vertical layout rather than a single-floor plan, which matters for buyers who prioritize single-level living. Outdoor space and parking specifics should be confirmed unit by unit during due diligence, as they can vary in a community of this age and style.

What Buyers Need to Know

The current HOA fee is $410 per month. That figure has moved over time, as the sales table shows fees ranging from $231 to $444 across different units and sale dates. Buyers should request the most current HOA budget, reserve fund balance, and any history of special assessments before going under contract. A 1980 building is now over 40 years old. Roof systems, mechanical infrastructure, and common area surfaces may be approaching or past replacement cycles. The reserve fund disclosure will tell you how prepared the association is to cover those costs without a special assessment.

Property taxes on recently sold units ranged from $5,655 to $7,044 per year, with most falling in the $6,000 to $6,800 range. Verify the current mill rate with the City of Norwalk and confirm the assessed value on any specific unit before finalizing your budget.

Buyers should also request the resale package from the HOA before committing. The resale package typically includes the master deed, bylaws, rules and regulations, budget, reserve study, and meeting minutes. Minutes in particular are worth reading carefully for any 1980s-era building. They will surface deferred maintenance discussions, pending assessments, and any ongoing disputes. Renovation variation is a real factor in a complex this age. Some units have been updated substantially; others have not been touched since original construction. Price per square foot alone will not capture that difference.

Rental rules, pet policies, and owner-occupancy ratios should be confirmed directly with the association. These affect both your use of the unit and your ability to finance it. Lenders underwriting condominium loans often require owner-occupancy ratios above 50% and have specific rules around investor concentration.

Buying or Selling at Strathmore

With only 8 MLS sales on record and a price range that spans nearly $200,000 from low to high, Strathmore does not have the deep comp pool that makes pricing straightforward. That cuts both ways. A buyer who does not understand the unit-level differences, including renovation level, floor plan variation, and condition, can overpay. A seller who prices without that context leaves money on the table or sits on the market longer than necessary.

If you are buying at Strathmore, The Engel Team can help you evaluate the specific unit against the full sales history, flag due diligence gaps, and structure an offer that reflects real market conditions, not the 2022 peak.
