About Candlewood Knolls
What buyers should know about Candlewood Knolls
Candlewood Knolls — known locally as ‘The Knolls’ — is a lake community on the New Fairfield (west) shore of Candlewood Lake, established in 1929. It's organized as a New Fairfield special tax district, with more than a mile of community shorefront.
Lakefront colony
Some Knolls homes have a private dock or beach; others use the community's shared swimming areas and boat-docking facilities. We confirm what conveys with a specific home — owned frontage, a dock, or shared access.
Docks, slips & access
The Knolls has community beaches, swimming areas, and boat-docking facilities, and some homes have a private dock. See how docks & slips work →
Dues & due diligence
As a New Fairfield special tax district, the Knolls carries its own assessments for the community amenities. We confirm current dues and what they cover on the specific home.
Straight talk: being ‘in the Knolls’ isn't the same as owning lake frontage. We'll make sure a listing's wording — waterfront vs. shared docks and beaches — matches what you're buying, and confirm the New Fairfield town and rights on the specific property.
