Fieldstone Village

Independent Assessment

Fieldstone Village is well documented for its physical scale and home inventory -- the 142-home count, 38-acre footprint, and 1,293-3,357 square-foot size range appear consistently across 55places.com, Seniorly, topretirements.com, and ct55plus.com (the Beninson Team's dedicated Connecticut 55+ directory), giving reasonable confidence in those figures even though none of them is a government record or the community's own official HOA site. Despite repeated searches, the identity of the original homebuilder or developer, and a precise HOA fee schedule, could not be established. The 'established in the early 2000s' opening window is repeated across sources but not pinned to an exact year. Because every source describing this community's age restriction is a directory, brokerage, or listing site rather than a recorded declaration or the community's own official HOA statement, the age qualification is treated conservatively as marketed-but-unverified rather than legally confirmed.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want a larger-scale, established 55+ neighborhood with a genuine range of home sizes -- from smaller attached units up to sizeable single-family homes over 3,300 square feet -- will find Fieldstone Village's inventory unusually broad for a single Connecticut community. Its Orange location suits buyers who want proximity to the Merritt Parkway/I-95 corridor and downtown New Haven's amenities without living inside the city itself.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Fieldstone Village comprises 142 attached and single-family homes on approximately 38 acres, with model names including the Maxwell, Camfield, Preswick, and Deerfield, ranging from about 1,293 to 3,357 square feet. Popular models feature first-floor primary suites, first-floor laundry, open-concept living areas, and attached two-car garages, with some homes offering gourmet kitchens, hardwood floors, and finished lofts or basements. The original homebuilder was not found despite multiple targeted searches, and an exact year the community opened could not be confirmed beyond the general 'early 2000s' window repeated across directory sources.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

One senior-housing directory reports recent resale activity in the mid-$500,000s to upper $700,000s range, reflecting Fieldstone Village's larger average home sizes relative to many Connecticut 55+ condo communities. Current asking or sold prices were not independently verified against MLS data; buyers should confirm current pricing with a local agent or directly through an active listing.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Fieldstone Village is an established, resale-oriented community with no evidence of ongoing builder inventory found. Buyers should confirm current availability and the age/condition of specific units directly with a local agent or the homeowners' association.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes at Fieldstone Village are subject to Town of Orange and New Haven County property tax administration. Buyers should confirm exact current figures with the Orange tax assessor's office and request the association's current financials before purchasing, since a current effective property tax rate for specific units, the association's master insurance coverage, and any special-assessment history were not independently confirmed.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Fieldstone Village spreads 142 homes across 38 acres, giving it a lower-density feel than many Connecticut 55+ condo enclaves, with a range of home sizes from compact attached units to large single-family homes exceeding 3,300 square feet. Shared amenities -- a clubhouse, fitness center, pool, tennis and bocce courts, and walking trails -- support an active, socially engaged lifestyle typical of purpose-built active-adult communities.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Fieldstone Village is located off Grassy Hill Road in Orange, Connecticut, less than a mile from everyday grocery, discount retail, pharmacy, and dining options. Downtown New Haven -- home to Yale University, the Yale University Art Gallery, and other cultural attractions -- is roughly 18-20 minutes away. Buyers should confirm current drive times to specific medical facilities and highway access points directly.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Fieldstone Village is consistently marketed across 55places.com, Seniorly, topretirements.com, and ct55plus.com as a 55+ active-adult community, but the community's own official HOA site, a recorded condominium declaration, or other primary-source document independently confirming a legal age restriction under Connecticut's housing-for-older-persons framework was not located (Conn. Gen. Stat. §46a-64b/§46a-64c, which mirrors the federal Housing for Older Persons Act). Because the only sourcing available is third-party directory and brokerage marketing language rather than a genuinely confirming primary source, this community is classified as an active-adult community whose legal age restriction is not independently verified rather than legally age-restricted. Buyers should confirm the exact recorded declaration language and age-verification procedure directly with the association before purchasing.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

The original builder, an HOA fee schedule, and a precise founding year for Fieldstone Village could not be confirmed, and no recorded declaration or official HOA statement establishing a legal 55+ age restriction was found -- only consistent marketing language across third-party directories. Reported resale prices (mid-$500,000s to upper $700,000s per one directory) should be independently verified against current MLS data, since directory pricing pages are not always kept current. Buyers should request the condominium or homeowners' association's current governing documents, budget, and fee schedule directly before purchasing.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within New Haven County, Fieldstone Village is notable for its larger home-size range -- up to 3,357 square feet -- compared with the two Milford 55+ condominium communities tracked in this cluster, Forest Park and Gloria Commons, both of which offer smaller attached units under roughly 2,600 square feet.
