77 Sunset Lane

Independent Assessment

77 Sunset Lane is well documented as a genuine, currently active, for-sale 55+ condominium community: multiple major brokerages (William Raveis, RE/MAX, William Pitt Sotheby's, Redfin, Houlihan Lawrence) show individually listed units for sale as of the last update, and 55places.com's dedicated community page corroborates the unit count, size range, and amenity list. A Seniorly aggregator listing for this community also exists; Seniorly/Mirador aggregator listings on this specific title sometimes carry generic 'care and medical services' or '24-hour supervision' boilerplate language that does not reflect a genuine assisted-living operation, and brokerages actively marketing individual condo units for sale confirm that 77 Sunset Lane is a genuine for-sale, owner-occupied HOA condominium community, not a care facility.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who most value walkability to downtown Ridgefield's Main Street -- restaurants, shops, the Ridgefield Playhouse, and village-center events -- while still getting an attached garage, basement storage, and a private residents' clubhouse will find 77 Sunset Lane's combination distinctive among Ridgefield's three 55+ communities. Its larger unit sizes (up to 2,441 square feet) and 2.5-bath layouts also suit buyers who want more space than a typical downtown condominium while keeping single-community HOA-maintained living.

Homes, Builders & Development History

77 Sunset Lane's 54 attached and condominium homes were built between 2016 and 2018 in downtown Ridgefield. Units have two or three bedrooms with two full and one half bathrooms, ranging from approximately 1,466 to 2,441 square feet, with one- or two-car attached garages and basements suited to storage or additional living space. The specific homebuilder's name was not independently confirmed.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

One specific recent asking price -- approximately $849,000 for a unit at 77 Sunset Lane #213 -- was found, but a full current price range across the community's smaller and larger unit types was not confirmed. Given the community's downtown-Ridgefield location and larger average unit sizes relative to Ridgefield's other two 55+ communities, buyers should expect pricing toward the higher end of Ridgefield's 55+ market, but should request current comparable listings from a local agent rather than relying on this single data point.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

77 Sunset Lane was built out between 2016 and 2018 and is not actively selling new construction; all current availability is through the resale market, as confirmed by multiple active brokerage listings for individual units as of the last update. Buyers should confirm the age and condition of specific units, and whether any have been renovated since original construction, directly with a local agent.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes at 77 Sunset Lane are subject to the Town of Ridgefield's property tax administration. A current effective tax rate for specific units, the condominium association's master insurance coverage, and any special-assessment history were not independently confirmed; buyers should confirm exact current figures with the Ridgefield Tax Assessor's office and request the association's financials before purchasing.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

77 Sunset Lane's attached and condominium homes sit within a short walk of downtown Ridgefield's Main Street, giving residents village-center walkability uncommon among Ridgefield's three 55+ communities, while the HOA-maintained exteriors and grounds keep day-to-day upkeep low. The private clubhouse and outdoor firepit support a fairly social calendar for the community, with recurring events such as First Friday cocktail gatherings and Mah Jongg groups described in community sources; buyers who want an active social community close to downtown amenities are well suited to this layout.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

77 Sunset Lane is located at 77 Sunset Lane, Ridgefield, CT 06877, in the Village Center area a short walk from Ridgefield's Main Street, restaurants, and the Ridgefield Playhouse. The location provides walkable access to downtown amenities while remaining a short drive from Route 7 for travel toward Danbury and I-84.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

77 Sunset Lane is consistently described by 55places.com and multiple active brokerage listings as a 55+ community. A Seniorly-hosted listing for the same community was also found carrying generic '24-hour call system and supervision' boilerplate language typical of that aggregator's senior-care template; that language is inconsistent with the overwhelming evidence (from brokerages actively marketing individual for-sale condo units) that this is a genuine independent-ownership HOA community, and is treated here as harmless aggregator noise rather than evidence of an assisted-living operation. The recorded condominium declaration's specific age-verification language was not directly reviewed. Connecticut's general housing-for-older-persons framework (CGS section 46a-64b, tied to the federal Fair Housing Act's 80% occupancy standard for 55+ housing) provides the legal backdrop statewide. Buyers should request the recorded declaration and confirm the association's verification procedure directly.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

A reliable, complete current price range for 77 Sunset Lane was not confirmed -- only a single recent asking price (around $849,000) for one larger unit was found, which likely represents the higher end of the community's range rather than typical entry pricing. Downtown-adjacent pricing in Ridgefield tends to carry a premium versus more secluded 55+ communities in town, so buyers should expect this community to price at or above Regency at Ridgefield and The Coach Homes at Ridgefield, though this was not independently confirmed with comparable current data for all three. Buyers should also disregard the generic 'supervision/24-hour care' language that appears on at least one aggregator listing for this community, which does not reflect this community's actual for-sale, independent-ownership structure.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within Ridgefield, 77 Sunset Lane is the town's most walkable-to-downtown 55+ community, distinguished from Regency at Ridgefield's more secluded, wooded ridge setting off Route 7 and from The Coach Homes at Ridgefield's smaller, single-building format. Its larger average unit sizes and private clubhouse with an active social calendar also set it apart from The Coach Homes' more compact, apartment-style units.

Current Listings

Multiple brokerages (William Raveis, RE/MAX, William Pitt Sotheby's, Redfin, Houlihan Lawrence) have shown active individual-unit listings for 77 Sunset Lane; a connected local agent can provide current available listings.

Is 77 Sunset Lane the same as Regency at Ridgefield or The Coach Homes at Ridgefield?

No. All three are separately confirmed, genuinely distinct 55+ communities in Ridgefield. 77 Sunset Lane is a 54-unit condominium community built 2016-2018 near downtown Ridgefield, while Regency at Ridgefield is a larger, older (circa 2008) Toll Brothers townhome community off Route 7, and The Coach Homes at Ridgefield is a smaller, single-building condo community with construction beginning in 2019.

Does 77 Sunset Lane provide assisted living or supervised care?

No. It is an independent-ownership, for-sale condominium community, confirmed by multiple active brokerage listings for individual units. A generic aggregator listing on one senior-housing site carries boilerplate 'supervision' language that does not reflect this community's actual for-sale, independent-living structure.

How many homes are at 77 Sunset Lane and how big are they?

54 attached and condominium homes, built 2016-2018, with two or three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, ranging from approximately 1,466 to 2,441 square feet, with attached garages and basements.

What is the HOA fee at 77 Sunset Lane?

Individual unit listings show HOA fees of roughly $555 to $595 per month, covering the clubhouse, grounds maintenance, trash pickup, snow removal, property management, and road maintenance. Buyers should confirm the current fee schedule directly with the association.
