Condos, Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals in a peaceful atmosphere
Homes along the neighborhood’s gridded streets gained more attention in spring 2020 as New Yorkers looked to move out of the city. “During Covid in 2020, we had a massive shortage of inventory. Things are still moving quickly, but our market has stabilized some,” says Christine Howard, a Realtor with William Raveis Real Estate who’s lived in the area for years. She adds that the neighborhood’s home prices tend to be lower than other areas of Fairfield, since the lot sizes are smaller. Cape Cods and bungalows from the early 1900s often cost between $400,000 and $600,000, while Colonial Revivals from the early to mid-20th century sell for between $600,000 and $800,000. Condo complexes built in the 1970s are also scattered about Tunxis Hill; units cost between $250,000 and $450,000.
