There is an exciting community in lower Fairfield County called Stamford. Center city sparkles … country hills are green … beaches are sandy and coastal water is blue! Stamford is a superb place in which to live, work and play. Downtown is a busy, cosmopolitan atmosphere that is teeming with cultural enrichment and successful enterprise.
Handsome buildings at the city’s center provide luxurious space for corporate offices, retail shops, and residential units. Stamford’s Town Center Mall offers both a pleasant indoor shopping environment and lovely outdoor plaza with a total of 100 shops and fine eateries … and there are dozens more storefronts and restaurants to walk to. The Stamford Center for the Arts presents live theater, well-known celebrities, dance and music, and is home to The Stamford Symphony Orchestra.
Stamford’s neighborhoods maintain a New England charm that complements its bustling downtown. Pastoral meadows, thickly-wooded acres, treed streets and panoramic Long Island Sound views are among the captivating back-drops for a variety of architectural styles that range from condominiums to cottages, dramatic contemporaries to traditional colonials, luxury high rises to the stately residences of Shippan Point.
Stamford is excellent for commuters! Its proximity to Interstate 95 and the Merritt Parkway facilitate travel to outlying areas by car. In addition, Stamford has three Metro North stops, and comprehensive bus service.
With a dedicated and dynamic public school system, fine library system, and UConn campus located in town, its no wonder Stamford keeps appearing on “The Best Cities” lists. From the Ladies Home Journal to Money Magazine the strengths of Stamford continue to impress and the warmth of Stamford continues to charm!
