The Gables Condos in Stamford, CT

The Gables Condos for Sale

The Gables is a 22-unit townhouse condominium complex on Glenbrook Road in Stamford. With only 22 units and a record of steady, infrequent turnover, available units do not sit long. The MLS shows 13 sales across the complex’s history, which averages out to less than two sales per year. That pace is typical for a small, well-located complex where owners tend to stay. If you are actively looking at Stamford CT condos, The Gables is worth monitoring closely because listings here move before many buyers have a chance to schedule a showing.

Three-bedroom units at 1,856 sq ft have clustered between $538,000 and $600,000. The $600,000 sale in January 2022 represents the ceiling in the recorded data.

About The Gables

The Gables sits at 160 Glenbrook Road in Stamford’s Glenbrook neighborhood, a few minutes from both the Glenbrook and Springdale Metro-North stations. The complex was built between 2005 and 2007 and comprises 22 condominium townhouses arranged in a colonial architectural style. At 22 units, this is a small, self-contained community, not a sprawling complex with hundreds of owners and rotating management problems. The Glenbrook location gives buyers access to I-95 within a few minutes by car and puts Cove Island Park and Cummings Beach on Long Island Sound within easy reach. The Gables is positioned as a Stamford CT real estate option that competes on size, construction quality, and proximity to transit rather than on resort-style amenity packages.

Homes and Layouts at The Gables

The Gables offers 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom townhouse-style condominiums across two and three levels. The two-bedroom units run from approximately 1,430 to 1,508 sq ft based on MLS records. The three-bedroom units are consistently recorded at 1,856 sq ft in MLS data, though the complex reportedly includes floor plans up to approximately 2,480 sq ft. The colonial townhouse layout means buyers get a proper entry level, living and dining space on the main floor, and bedrooms above, which reads more like a single-family home than a flat. Garage parking is available at the complex. Units were built to a condominium standard that was considered upgraded construction for the mid-2000s Stamford market. Buyers should verify the specific floor plan, level count, and any updates or renovations with the listing agent for any given unit, since 22 units over two construction years can produce variation in finishes and configurations that the MLS does not always capture.

What Buyers Need to Know

The HOA fee at The Gables is approximately $351/month based on the most recent recorded data, though individual units have shown fees ranging from $288 to $373/month across the sales history. Buyers should confirm the current fee directly with the association at the time of purchase, as fees in small complexes tend to increase incrementally to cover maintenance and reserve contributions.

At 22 units, the reserve fund situation deserves attention. Small associations have fewer owners sharing the cost of major capital repairs, which means any significant building system replacement or exterior project can produce a special assessment with real dollar impact on individual owners. Before closing, request a current reserve study or reserve fund balance, a 12-month history of association expenses, and any notice of pending or recent special assessments. The complex was built in 2005–2007, which puts the building systems roughly 18–20 years old. Roofing, HVAC, and common-area infrastructure on townhouse complexes of this era may be approaching a replacement cycle.

The Glenbrook location does not place The Gables directly on the waterfront, but Stamford has flood zone designations that extend inland from the coast. Buyers should confirm the specific flood zone designation for 160 Glenbrook Road and review the association’s master insurance policy to understand what is covered at the structure level versus what a unit owner’s HO-6 policy must cover. This is standard due diligence for any Stamford condominium purchase.

Resale performance at The Gables has been consistent. The $312/SF median and the tight price band between 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom units suggest a stable resale market without dramatic swings. Buyers should factor in the renovation variation between units when evaluating resale value, since a well-updated unit at 1,856 sq ft has held near $600,000, while unrenovated units of similar size have sold closer to $538,000. That $60,000+ spread on identical square footage is entirely condition-driven, and it will apply to your resale as well as your purchase. Review the association’s resale package requirements before listing, and confirm whether the association requires a resale certificate or disclosure form at closing.

Rental rules, pet policies, and owner-occupancy ratios should be verified with the association directly. Small complexes with fewer than 25 units can have owner-occupancy and rental restrictions that affect both financing options and future resale flexibility. Confirm these details before submitting an offer, particularly if you are purchasing with conventional financing, which has investor concentration requirements that can affect loan approval in small associations.

With only 22 units and an average of less than two sales per year, pricing a unit at The Gables correctly requires careful analysis of the specific floor plan, condition, and finish level relative to what has actually sold.
