Stamford Reviews
Rating 4.02 out of 5 207 reviews
What I like about Stamford is simply the kind of lifestyle there is and how big it is. One place to compare it to is NY CITY because of the amount of things to do there. You can "Go Cart", Ice skate, and many other activities as well as hanging out with friends in downtown Stamford. Not only that but many public parks that you can bike, walk, picnic, play sports like basketball, swim, and even barbeque.Some of those places are Scalzi park, cove park with there beaches. As well as lone park. Other notable parks include, mill river park which is a great place for sight seeing and walking around, also Kosciusko park, cummings park and more! Stamford athletically is good because of the sports complex's like sports complexes, like Bobby Vs, also Chelsie piers that also has fields and courts but younger kids can swim there and gymnastics and trampolines. Not only is Stamford exiting but the restaurant choices might be the best in CT. fancy restaurants, diners, great places for Icecream
Stamford have changed a lot over the years. It has become a clean and fun small city with UCONN Stamford growing in popularity. We have the greatest pizza! Okay, maybe not compared to NYC but we have Colony Pizza, Rikko and Sallys. The shore points have nice beaches and beautiful sunsets.
Stamford, Connecticut, is the 3rd highest population in CT. So, if you don't like living in a city with many people, Stamford isn't the place for you. Though the residents of Stamford aren't as wealthy as the ones who live in surrounding areas like Greenwich, Darien, and New Canaan, Stamford still has pricey real estate. Where the median price of a house is $639K (as stated in Zillow). Though the price will probably increase shortly. But, Stamford holds a diverse community. Stamford is home to many various cultures, religions, and sexuality. Something amazing regarding Stamford is that if you're ever feeling bored on a Friday night, you can go Downtown. Where there are many clubs, restaurants, movie theaters, and many stores to shop in.
