77 Sunset Lane sits in Ridgefield, CT, in a community meant for active adults, where you'll see townhouse-style homes built as recently as 2016 and 2018, in sizes that range from about 1,466 to 3,148 square feet, so some have two bedrooms and two full baths, while others might have a bit more space and a half bath, but mostly you find spacious, sunny condos with large, open rooms and plenty of light from skylights, transom windows, and oversized windows that some folks say give you lovely daytime views from the top floors, and you've always got things like 9-foot ceilings, hardwood floors in the living and dining rooms, plus a warm gas fireplace and a place to have meals connecting out to a private deck or balcony through French doors, and the kitchens have nice features like granite or quartz counters, breakfast bars, Kingswood or top brand cabinets, stainless steel appliances, dishwashers, and big pantries to keep things neat. Most of the homes have at least one master bedroom with a walk-in closet and an attached full bath, and in some units, there's double sinks, walk-in showers, private commodes, and raised toilets for easy access, so folks with mobility needs have a simpler time getting around, since you'll find things like wide hallways, roll-in showers, lever faucets, and minimum-width doorways, and there's even an elevator in the buildings, which helps if you use a wheelchair or walker. Each unit tends to include laundry rooms with washers and dryers, tiled so cleaning's easy, and most have forced air heat and central air conditioning that runs on clean natural gas, which keeps the whole place comfortable.
Residents get maintenance-free living with homeowners association fees covering things like grounds upkeep, trash, snow removal, and roads, plus security systems and modern wiring for data, and while the homes themselves come with a garage-some attached, some under the house-with space for one or two cars, there's also parking and storage, so you don't worry too much about your car or things that need a place to sit. You see some storage basements in the bigger units, while others have no basement or attic, but even so, you'll find that storage areas are usually enough for everyday living. The community features a clubhouse, service kitchen, common patio, firepit, and grilling space, and there's a social committee that helps organize events throughout the year, so whether folks want to join in for a meal, a game, or just coffee with neighbors, you've got a way to connect, and if you like the outdoors, you'll notice sidewalks and walking trails winding through the neighborhood, with parks and lakes like Mamanasco Lake and Lake East nearby for trips or an easy stroll. The area is somewhat walkable, so it's possible to run errands or enjoy a bit of shopping at the local mall or visit the public library.
These units connect to city water and public sewer, have energy-smart features like Home Energy Rating, Energy Star appliances, thermopane windows, and high-efficiency gas or tankless water heaters, which means costs tend to stay steady, and for those with pets, you'll find the place friendly enough for cats or smaller dogs, though you'd want to check each unit's policy for details, but that's how it goes in these types of communities. Sunset Lane belongs to the Ridgefield School District, with schools like Veterans Park Elementary, East Ridge Middle, and Ridgefield High in the area, and you can reach lots of other towns such as South Salem or Wilton without too much driving. Prices for homes tend to run in the higher range, with some moving around the $799,000 mark, and association fees are about $555 monthly. The Village Center complex, where 77 Sunset Lane units sit, offers a quiet setting, with well-cared-for gardens and paved areas for walking or relaxing outside, gutters to keep rain away, outdoor lighting, and a feeling of privacy even though neighbors are near. The units come with smart features-and sometimes luxury details like custom window shades and built-ins-so living there means you get comfort, practicality, and enough space to feel settled without dealing with a lot of fuss or upkeep, and that's what makes 77 Sunset Lane work for many who want to stay active, meet friends, and have a safe place to call home.
