Richmond Glen

Independent Assessment

Richmond Glen's core facts -- 41 homes on 32 acres, built 2011-2016, priced in the $400,000s at the time of new-home sales -- are consistent across several brokerage and listing sources, including Coldwell Banker, William Raveis, and neighborhoods.com. Builder attribution is less certain than for Cheshire Crossing: a blog post from a smart-home technology vendor (ATP Alarms) names Calcagni Real Estate and 'Brodach Richmond, LLC' as the developers and Cheshire-based Ricci Construction Group (led by John Ricci) as the builder, but that attribution could not be independently corroborated against a second, unrelated source or a recorded plat. The community's own marketing site (richmondglenliving.com) was referenced by multiple sources, but its current details were not directly confirmed. The age qualification rests only on consistent marketing language rather than a recorded declaration or an official HOA statement, so it should be treated as unverified.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want a smaller, boutique-scale 55+ community with integrated smart-home technology and a range of one- and two-story floor plans -- rather than a larger, more anonymous complex -- will find Richmond Glen's scale and technology positioning distinctive within the Cheshire market.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Richmond Glen comprises 41 one- and two-story homes on 32 acres, built between approximately 2011 and 2016. Floor plans include the Arlington model, featuring a first-floor primary bedroom suite, two additional bedrooms, and a finished bonus room on the second level, with finishes including granite counters, hardwood floors, and gas fireplaces reported across listings. Development is reported to have involved Calcagni Real Estate and Brodach Richmond, LLC, with Cheshire-based Ricci Construction Group (John Ricci) as local builder, though that attribution could not be independently corroborated against a second source or a recorded plat.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

New-construction pricing for Richmond Glen homes was reported in the $400,000s. Current resale pricing was not independently confirmed against MLS data; buyers should confirm current pricing with a local agent or directly through an active listing.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Richmond Glen's reported 2011-2016 construction window is complete, and no evidence of ongoing builder inventory was found -- the community is treated here as resale-oriented. Buyers should confirm current availability and the age/condition of specific units directly with a local agent.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes at Richmond Glen are subject to Town of Cheshire and New Haven County property tax administration. Current effective property tax rates for specific units, the association's master insurance coverage, and any special-assessment history were not independently confirmed; buyers should confirm exact current figures with the Cheshire tax assessor's office and request the association's current financials before purchasing.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Richmond Glen's smaller, 41-home scale on 32 acres gives it a more boutique feel than larger Cheshire-area 55+ communities, with a mix of one- and two-story floor plans offering first-floor primary suites in some models. Its marketed smart-home integration is a differentiator within this cluster of communities.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Richmond Glen is located in Cheshire, Connecticut, in New Haven County. No specific street address or ZIP code was confirmed for the community beyond its general Cheshire location; buyers should confirm the exact address and current drive times to shopping, medical facilities, and highway access directly with a local agent.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Richmond Glen is marketed as a 55+ community across directory-secondary sourcing, but no official HOA website content, recorded condominium or subdivision declaration, or other primary-source document independently confirming a legal age restriction was located under Conn. Gen. Stat. §46a-64b/§46a-64c (which mirrors the federal Housing for Older Persons Act). Because the only sourcing available is marketing and listing language rather than a genuinely confirming primary source, this is an active-adult community whose legal age restriction is not independently verified. Buyers should confirm the exact recorded restriction and verification procedure directly with the association before purchasing.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Richmond Glen's exact builder/developer attribution, current HOA fees, and current resale pricing could not be independently confirmed -- the $400,000s figure found reflects new-construction-era pricing rather than a confirmed current resale range. No primary source was found establishing a legally binding 55+ age restriction; buyers should request the association's current recorded declaration and verification procedure directly before purchasing.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Richmond Glen is smaller and more recently built than Cheshire Crossing, another 55+ community in Cheshire, with 41 homes built 2011-2016 compared with Cheshire Crossing's 92 homes built in 2005 by national builder Pulte Homes. Buyers should compare the two directly, since builder attribution for Richmond Glen is less firmly corroborated than for Cheshire Crossing.
