Strathmore Westport CT
Strathmore Condos for Sale
Strathmore is a 64-unit townhouse condominium community built in 1980 on the western edge of Westport. With 13 recorded MLS sales over the complex’s history, turnover here is deliberate and slow. Buyers who wait for something to come available at a specific price point can wait a long time. If you are tracking Strathmore, the best move is to get ahead of the market rather than respond to it. The Engel Team monitors off-market activity across Westport CT condos and can alert you when a unit becomes available before it hits the public listings.

Recently Sold at Strathmore
MLS data shows 13 recorded sales at Strathmore. Closed prices ranged from $360,000 to $720,000, with a median sale price of $410,000. Unit sizes ran from 1,224 to 1,600 square feet, and the median price per square foot came in at approximately $285. The spread between the floor and ceiling is wide, reflecting meaningful variation in unit condition, finishes, and floor plan. The $720,000 sale in September 2021 represents the high-water mark in the dataset and likely reflects a fully updated unit. Buyers using older comps as a pricing anchor without accounting for renovation level will misjudge where current values actually sit.

About Strathmore
Strathmore is a townhouse-style condominium community located at 38 Strathmore in Westport, CT. The complex was built in 1980 and contains 64 units across a residential setting that benefits from Westport’s year-round programming at its beaches and parks, including events that draw buyers from across Fairfield County. Strathmore occupies a different segment of the Westport market than the single-family homes that dominate the town’s $2M median price point. For buyers who want a Westport address and access to the Westport Public Schools system, which Niche ranks first in Connecticut, without the carrying costs of a detached home, Strathmore is one of the few townhouse-scale options in the area. That positioning is not accidental, and it limits direct competition at resale.
Homes and Layouts at Strathmore
Strathmore units are configured as one- and two-bedroom townhouses. The two-bedroom units dominate the sales record, and virtually every recorded sale has been a two-bedroom unit with either two or three bathrooms. Square footage in the verified sales data ranges from 1,224 to 1,600 square feet. The smaller units cluster around 1,224 square feet and carry two bathrooms. The larger units, at 1,440 to 1,600 square feet, are consistently configured with three bathrooms and tend to command a per-square-foot premium when updated. The townhouse format means vertical living, with multiple levels rather than a flat floor plan. Buyers should confirm parking configuration and private outdoor space unit by unit, as those details can vary within a 1980-built complex of this size. The community includes a pool as a shared amenity.
What Buyers Need to Know
HOA fees in the verified sales data range from $286 to $500 per month, with the most frequently cited figure at $442 per month. That spread across a single complex reflects changes over time and potentially unit-specific assessments, so buyers should confirm the current fee for any specific unit in writing before making an offer.
Strathmore was built in 1980, which puts it in the category of buildings where reserve fund health and building system age deserve direct scrutiny. Buyers should request the most recent reserve study, the current reserve balance, and a five-year history of special assessments before proceeding. A well-run 40-plus-year-old complex will have documented reserves adequate for roof, HVAC, and structural maintenance. An underfunded one will not. Ask the question directly.
Renovation variation between units at Strathmore is real and material. The $360,000 floor and the $720,000 ceiling in the sales data represent different physical conditions, not just market timing. A buyer evaluating two units at similar asking prices needs to understand what has been updated, when, and to what standard. Kitchen and bath renovations in older townhouse buildings can mask or create issues behind the walls.
The resale package for any Strathmore unit should include the current budget, reserve study, meeting minutes from the past two years, and any pending litigation or insurance claims. Connecticut condominium law requires this documentation, but the quality and completeness of what an association provides varies. Review the resale package with your attorney before removing contingencies.
Property taxes on verified Strathmore sales have ranged from approximately $5,036 to $6,955 per year, with most units falling between $6,000 and $6,900. Rental rules, pet policies, and owner-occupancy ratio should be confirmed with the association directly, as these are not reflected in MLS data and can affect both financing and future resale. Buyers financing with a conventional mortgage should confirm the complex meets lender warrantability requirements, particularly the owner-occupancy threshold.
Buying or Selling at Strathmore
Strathmore’s price range sits well below the Westport town-wide median for all property types, which sits near $2,000,000. That gap creates a specific buyer pool: people who want a legitimate Westport address at a fraction of the cost of a single-family home. It also creates a pricing challenge at listing time, because the pool of direct comps is thin. Thirteen sales over multiple years is not enough data to price a unit with confidence without a deeper analysis of condition, layout, and current market absorption.
The Engel Team works the Westport condominium market specifically and can provide a current valuation grounded in what Strathmore units have actually sold for and what buyers are willing to pay today. If you are considering selling, do not rely on the historical median without accounting for renovation level. If you are buying, do not assume the ask reflects actual market value without independent verification.
