Here Are The Most Recent Property Sales In Orange
Five single-family homes changed hands in Orange between June 30 and July 22, with a top price of $1,370,000, according to Zillow.com.
ORANGE, CT — Every single sale in this batch is a single-family home. Every single one sits on at least three-quarters of an acre. And every single one cleared $453,000. That is Orange being Orange — a town that has built its identity around a particular kind of suburban living and shows little sign of wavering. Here's a look at the five most recent closings recorded on Zillow.com, newest to oldest.
The most recent sale closed July 22 at 343 Smith Farm Road, a three-bedroom, two-bath single-family that sold for $560,000. At 1,996 square feet on 1.13 acres, the home sits just a whisker under the 2,000-square-foot threshold on more than an acre of land, and at roughly $281 per square foot, it falls comfortably into the middle of this week's price-per-foot range. Smith Farm Road has the cadence of an Orange address that means business — names like that tend to come with mature trees, long driveways, and neighbors who wave from their front porches rather than their sidewalks.
830 Bayberry Lane closed July 10 at $1,227,500 — the week's second-highest sale and the largest home in the batch at 5,364 square feet. The four-bedroom, four-bath single-family sits on 0.83 acres and at approximately $229 per square foot, it is the most efficient large-home purchase in this roundup on a per-foot basis. More than 5,300 square feet in Orange is a substantial footprint by any measure, and four bedrooms and four baths across that kind of canvas gives a family room to spread out, double up for guests, or simply enjoy the kind of interior elbow room that does not come along at this price point very often. Bayberry Lane winds through one of Orange's more established neighborhoods, where homes of this scale tend to trade quietly and quickly.

441 David Court closed July 3 at $727,500 and produces the week's most striking number on a per-square-foot basis: at 1,744 square feet on 1.31 acres, the three-bedroom, two-bath home traded at approximately $417 per square foot — the highest price-per-foot in the entire batch by a significant margin. That figure is what happens when a well-located cul-de-sac home in a town with limited inventory meets a buyer who has done the math and decided that 1,744 square feet in the right neighborhood on 1.31 acres is worth paying a premium to secure. David Court is tucked into one of Orange's quieter residential pockets, and three bedrooms and two baths on more than an acre at $727,500 is not a price that lingers.
438 Old Country Road closed July 1 at $453,000 — the most accessible price point in this batch, and the one most likely to have attracted the widest field of buyers. The three-bedroom, two-bath home spans 1,796 square feet on 1.21 acres, and at roughly $252 per square foot, it represents the lowest per-foot price of any sale in the roundup. Old Country Road runs through one of Orange's more rural-feeling stretches, and over an acre of land at $453,000 continues to be the kind of combination that generates competitive offers in a town where that price tier has grown increasingly hard to find.

Rounding out the batch, 360 Taulman Road closed June 30 at $1,370,000 — the week's top sale by a clear margin. The five-bedroom, four-bath single-family offers 4,400 square feet on 0.85 acres and clocks in at roughly $311 per square foot. Five bedrooms and four full baths in a sub-acre Orange lot is the profile of a home built for a large or multigenerational family that wants maximum interior space without sacrificing the town's characteristic sense of residential privacy. At $1,370,000, the buyers at Taulman Road were not shopping on price — they were shopping on configuration, and they found exactly what they were looking for.
What this says about the Orange market: Five sales, five single-family homes, five lots of at least three-quarters of an acre — and a price range that runs from $453,000 to $1,370,000 without a single outlier that feels out of place. That consistency is the Orange market in a nutshell: a town where the product type barely varies but the size and price tier covers a wide enough range to accommodate buyers at several different stages of life and budget. The week's most surprising data point is the $417-per-square-foot figure at 441 David Court, which outpaces even the $1.2 million Bayberry Lane home on a per-foot basis — a reminder that in Orange, the lot, the street, and the timing of the listing can matter as much as the size of the house itself.
