Strawberry Woods Condos in Norwalk, CT

Strawberry Woods Condos for Sale

Strawberry Woods is a 29-unit condominium community, and units here do not come up often. With fewer than three dozen townhouses in the complex, turnover is limited and active inventory can sit at zero for months at a stretch. The two most recent sales both closed at $530,000 in 2025, which tells you something about where pricing has moved since the $300,000 range that defined most sales prior to 2020. If you are watching Norwalk CT condos and Strawberry Woods specifically, the right move is to get on a notification list rather than check listings casually. Units here get attention quickly when they do appear. Contact The Engel Team to be notified the moment a unit comes to market, including any off-market opportunities.

Recently Sold at Strawberry Woods

The price trajectory here is clear. Units that sold in the $309,000–$333,500 range in 2015–2017 were trading above $400,000 by 2021 and crossed $530,000 in the most recent 2025 closings. That is roughly a 70% appreciation from the 2015 floor to the current ceiling. The 2025 sales at $530,000 represent the highest recorded prices in the complex’s MLS history. Note that tax assessments vary meaningfully by unit, from $4,340 to $7,569 annually, which is a meaningful variable in total monthly cost calculations.

About Strawberry Woods

Strawberry Woods sits at 81 Wolfpit Avenue in Norwalk, CT. The complex was built in 1988 and contains 29 contemporary townhouse-style condominiums arranged across several buildings. At 29 units, this is a small, self-contained community, not a sprawling complex with hundreds of neighbors. The setting is close to waterfront parks alongside the Saugatuck River and within approximately 10 minutes of several beaches on Long Island Sound. That proximity to water distinguishes Strawberry Woods from most of the inland condo inventory in Norwalk. The complex has a pool on site. It is not a high-rise or a converted building. Every unit is a purpose-built townhouse constructed as part of the original 1988 development.

For buyers comparing options across Norwalk CT real estate, Strawberry Woods occupies a specific position: a small, owner-oriented community with a townhouse format, established landscaping, and a waterfront-adjacent location that larger complexes in town cannot replicate.

Homes and Layouts at Strawberry Woods

All units at Strawberry Woods are 2-bedroom configurations. Bath counts in MLS records range from 2 to 3, depending on the specific unit. Square footage varies considerably across the 29 units, with recorded sales ranging from 1,268 to 2,235 square feet. That is a wide range for a single-complex condominium, and it matters for pricing. A 1,292-square-foot unit and a 2,235-square-foot unit both closed at their respective market values in 2025, but a buyer comparing those two units needs to understand the difference is not cosmetic. The larger floor plans in the D and E buildings reach toward 2,200 square feet, which gives them a footprint closer to a small single-family home than a standard condo flat.

The townhouse format means vertical living with a private entry, typically two floors of living space, and separation from adjacent units that a flat-style condominium does not provide. For buyers coming from a house who are not ready for a corridor-and-elevator building, the townhouse layout is a meaningful quality-of-life factor. Parking is part of the complex. Specific garage arrangements should be confirmed with the listing or the association before making an offer.

What Buyers Need to Know

HOA fees at Strawberry Woods have moved over time. Earlier sales show $400/month. The two most recent 2025 closings reflect $420/month. The largest recorded unit, the 2,235-square-foot APT E1, carried a fee of $464/month at its August 2024 closing. Buyers should request the current fee schedule directly from the association and confirm whether any special assessments are pending or were recently levied. A 29-unit complex has a smaller reserve base than a large complex, which means a single major capital expenditure, such as a roof replacement or pool resurfacing, can translate quickly into a per-unit assessment. Ask for the most recent reserve study and the association’s current reserve balance before you commit.

Property taxes at Strawberry Woods range from approximately $5,194 to $7,569 per year depending on the unit. That is a wide band and it affects total cost of ownership materially. Confirm the current assessed value and mill rate for the specific unit you are considering, not just the complex average.

The complex is within 10 minutes of Long Island Sound beaches. Buyers should verify the flood zone designation for their specific unit and obtain a flood insurance estimate before closing. Even properties not directly on the water can carry flood zone designations that affect insurance costs. The 1988 construction date means the building systems, including HVAC, plumbing, and electrical, are now well into their lifecycle. Unit-to-unit renovation variation is common in communities of this age. Some units have been updated, others have not. Interior condition matters more here than in newer construction. Request a full disclosure, pull permits for any renovations, and plan for a thorough inspection.

Resale potential at Strawberry Woods is supported by the complex’s small size, townhouse format, and location. The 2015-to-2025 price history shows consistent appreciation. Resale package requirements, including any right-of-first-refusal held by the association, transfer fees, and required disclosures, should be confirmed with the HOA before you proceed. Rental restrictions and pet policies are also HOA-governed and should be verified in the current rules and regulations document, not assumed from a prior sale. The Norwalk condo market has softened somewhat recently, with inventory declining and pricing adjusting in the broader market, which makes unit-level pricing at a small complex like Strawberry Woods harder to benchmark. Thin comparable sales require careful analysis, not broad market assumptions.

Buying or Selling at Strawberry Woods

If you are buying at Strawberry Woods, the challenge is that 29 units and limited turnover means you are often making a decision with only two or three recent comparables available. The spread between the smallest and largest units, and between updated and original-condition interiors, makes per-square-foot pricing unreliable as a standalone metric. The Engel Team works the Norwalk homes for sale market closely and can provide a unit-specific valuation analysis, not just a complex average, before you make an offer.

If you are selling at Strawberry Woods, the two 2025 closings at $530,000 set a new ceiling for the complex. Whether your unit can reach or exceed that number depends on square footage, condition, bath count, and how the current Norwalk market is moving at the time you list. Positioning matters in a 29-unit building where your competition is a handful of prior sales, not a deep pool of recent activity. The Engel Team can advise on pricing strategy, preparation, and timing specific to this complex. Reach out for a no-obligation valuation.
