This might be a record price for a 1960's split-level in NoPo but if it is, it probably won’t be for long

37 Mary Lane was purchased back in June 2024 for $960,000 in a bidding war that started at $799,000. The builder blew it out from 1,650 sq. ft. to 3,176 sq. ft., gut renovated it while he was at it, and has put it for sale today at $3.3 million.

What low-moderate housing advocates fail to understand, or perhaps they do, is that you can’t build inexpensive housing on incredibly expensive land unless you go up several stories and divide that cost between, say 20 apartments. Those will come, if Connecticut voters continue to elect the people they’ve been sending to Hartford the past few decades, and my guess is that they will: greed and envy are eternal.
