Here Are The Most Recent Property Sales In Orange

ORANGE, CT — Whether it's a sprawling colonial on Avon Drive or a tucked-away condo near the lake, Orange has been keeping its closing attorneys busy. Here's a look at the seven most recent sales recorded on Zillow.com, from newest to oldest.

The most recent closing in this batch is 397 Butternut Court, which sold June 18 for $535,000. The two-bedroom, two-bath single-family home offers 2,228 square feet of living space on just under an acre — a roomy layout at approximately $240 per square foot. With only two bedrooms spread across a generous footprint, the floor plan likely leans toward larger individual rooms, an open-concept living area, or bonus spaces that give the home an airy, uncrowded feel. The nearly full-acre lot adds meaningful outdoor space to the package.

The top sale in this roundup belongs to 631 Avon Drive, which closed June 17 at $885,000. At 3,876 square feet on 1.43 acres, it is the largest home and the largest lot among the seven sales, working out to roughly $228 per square foot — the lowest per-square-foot figure of the group, which often reflects the value that acreage and square footage together bring to a transaction. The three-bedroom, four-bath configuration points to a home designed with entertaining and flexibility in mind: four bathrooms for three bedrooms suggests en-suite arrangements throughout, plus a powder room or additional guest bath.

Also closing June 17, 884 Grassy Hill Road sold for $700,000. The three-bedroom, three-bath single-family home spans 2,339 square feet on just under an acre of land, placing it at roughly $299 per square foot. Grassy Hill Road winds through one of Orange's more scenic residential corridors, and properties here tend to carry the kind of quiet, wooded character that attracts buyers looking to trade the noise of a denser suburb for something more pastoral — while remaining well within reach of Route 34 and the Merritt Parkway.

Just down the road from the week's top sale, 571 Avon Drive closed June 15 at $552,000 — the same street, a notably different profile. This three-bedroom, two-bath home comes in at 1,456 square feet on 0.70 acres, working out to roughly $379 per square foot, the second-highest per-square-foot figure in this group. The tighter footprint on a solid lot suggests the value here may lie in the land and the address as much as the structure itself, with buyers on Avon Drive clearly willing to pay a premium per square foot regardless of home size.

The lone condominium in this batch, 57 South Lakeside Drive sold June 15 for $475,000. The two-bedroom, three-bath unit offers 1,330 square feet — an unusually high bath-to-bedroom ratio that likely reflects a layout with an en-suite primary bath, a second full bath for guests, and a half bath or additional full bath on a lower level. At roughly $357 per square foot, it is the third-highest per-square-foot price in the group. The South Lakeside Drive address suggests proximity to one of Orange's waterside settings, a feature that tends to carry its own premium independent of square footage.

548 Howellton Road sold June 10 for $635,000, delivering three bedrooms and three baths across 1,548 square feet on 0.72 acres — the highest per-square-foot result in this roundup at approximately $410 per square foot. That figure stands out: buyers here paid more per square foot than at any other address in the group, including the $885,000 Avon Drive sale. Howellton Road is an established Orange address, and the result here speaks to the draw of the specific location, lot configuration, or condition of the home rather than its size.

Closing out the seven most recent sales, 463 Herbert St. sold June 9 for $575,000. The four-bedroom, three-bath single-family home spans 2,418 square feet on 0.93 acres, coming in at roughly $238 per square foot — among the better value propositions in this batch on a per-square-foot basis. For buyers seeking the most bedrooms at a competitive per-square-foot cost, Herbert Street delivered: four bedrooms, nearly an acre, and more than 2,400 square feet, all for under $600,000.

What this says about the Orange market

These seven closings — all occurring within a ten-day window in June 2026 — paint a picture of an Orange real estate market with broad internal range and consistent activity across price tiers. The sales run from $475,000 at South Lakeside Drive to $885,000 at 631 Avon Drive, with five of the seven falling between $535,000 and $700,000, suggesting a well-established mid-range that the market is actively absorbing. The per-square-foot figures are among the more telling details: 548 Howellton Road topped the group at $410 per square foot on a 1,548-square-foot home, while the 3,876-square-foot Avon Drive sale came in at the group's lowest per-square-foot figure of $228 — a reminder that in Orange, larger homes on bigger lots tend to normalize the cost per square foot, while smaller, well-positioned properties can push that number sharply higher. Six of the seven are single-family homes on lots of at least 0.70 acres, a pattern consistent with Orange's suburban character and its zoning traditions. The lone condo at South Lakeside Drive, with its lake-adjacent address, held its own at $357 per square foot — evidence that in the right location, attached housing commands respect in this market too.
