Here Are The Most Recent Property Sales In Orange

Five homes changed hands in Orange between June 30 and July 1, with a top price of $940,000, according to Zillow.com.

Orange, CT — Orange wrapped up June and stepped into July with five single-family sales, every one of them on at least two-thirds of an acre and every one of them clearing $450,000. Here's a look at the most recent closings recorded on Zillow.com, newest to oldest.

The freshest sale in this batch closed July 1 at 438 Old Country Road, a three-bedroom, two-bath single-family that sold for $453,000. At 1,796 square feet on 1.21 acres, it is the most modestly sized home in this roundup — but it sits on the largest lot of any sale this week, and at roughly $252 per square foot, it delivers the lowest price-per-foot of the five. Old Country Road winds through one of Orange's more rural-feeling stretches, and over an acre of land at this price point is the kind of combination that tends to move quickly.

Four properties all closed on June 30, making for a busy final day of the month in Orange's real estate ledger.

The week's top sale belongs to 826 Rail Fence Road, which fetched $940,000 for a four-bedroom, four-bath single-family spanning 3,734 square feet on 0.98 acres — the largest home in this batch by a comfortable margin. At roughly $252 per square foot, Rail Fence Road matches Old Country Road dollar-for-dollar on a per-foot basis despite nearly doubling it in absolute size, which tells you something about the appetite for larger homes in Orange's upper tier. The address itself conjures something quintessentially Connecticut: a curving road through established neighborhood trees where the houses sit well back from the street.

278 Charles Court closed at $775,000, making it the week's second-highest sale. The four-bedroom, three-bath home offers 2,770 square feet on a one-acre lot at approximately $280 per square foot — the highest price-per-foot among the June 30 closings. Charles Court is a cul-de-sac address, and cul-de-sacs in Orange have a way of commanding a premium: less traffic, more neighborly, and the kind of dead-end privacy that buyers with kids tend to prioritize.

622 Chestnut Ridge Road sold for $725,000 — a five-bedroom, four-bath home at 2,758 square feet on 1.4 acres. With five bedrooms and four full baths, it offers the most interior flexibility of any home in this batch, and the 1.4-acre lot is the second largest of the June 30 closings. At roughly $263 per square foot, it slots neatly into the mid-range of the week's sales, and Chestnut Ridge Road — one of Orange's more scenic hilltop routes — adds the kind of address cachet that rarely hurts a listing.

Rounding out the week is 1024 Willard Road, which closed at $605,000. The three-bedroom, two-bath single-family offers 2,094 square feet on 0.69 acres — the smallest lot of the four June 30 sales, but still a generous suburban footprint by most measures. At approximately $289 per square foot, it posts the highest price-per-foot of any home in the entire week's roundup, a reminder that in Orange, a well-maintained three-bedroom in the right location can hold its own against much larger properties on a per-foot basis.

What this says about the Orange market: Five all-single-family sales, a tight price range of $453,000 to $940,000, and not a lot under two-thirds of an acre — Orange's most recent week in the books reads like a town that knows exactly what it is and what buyers come there to find. The absence of condos, townhouses, or anything under 1,796 square feet in this batch underscores Orange's enduring identity as a destination for buyers who want a proper house on a proper piece of land, whether they're spending $453,000 or nearly twice that. The fact that price-per-square-foot barely varies across that entire range — roughly $252 to $289 — suggests a market where value is being distributed fairly evenly across home sizes, with location and lot driving the final price more than square footage alone.
