If you’re open to driving to Norwalk (exit 16 off 95) Dr. Stebbins is legit the best dentist ever!

That whole area of Stamford is just disappointing

16 years here and never felt unsafe. I run an cycle all over the city but especially in Cove and Eastside. Working class in that neck of the woods but absolutely safe.

I work at LA Fitness in Stamford. Lots of hit and runs. We had a lady get assaulted outside our gym once before as she left the gym. A couple got killed from a drunk driver that was also a member of our club. I don’t hear of too many shootings and break ins. No gang activity that I’m aware of. I see many people waking the city even at night.

Been here since 97 and never felt unsafe

I find stamford to be unpredictable. When I lived in Brooklyn it was fairly easy to identify danger and avoid it. Stamford seems to be more spontaneously volatile. For instance, in NYC you can usually sense if someone down the block is going to be aggressive. I’ve found it difficult to get a read on people in that manner here and have had people shout and lunge at me in threatening ways with far greater frequency. My experience with this is usually near the new WWE building walking to and from the train after 10pm.

It typically takes me a good 5 minutes to leave Atlantic station, go through the light on north state st, go under 95 and take a left, go through another two lights, and then finally get on 95 (which is maybe a quarter mile away from Atlantic station).

Don't get me started on the potholes on north state getting off exit 7 southbound, either

Overall Stamford is safer than NYC but some areas would feel less safe in comparison to Greenwich or Darien. In Glenbrook I would say that it is generally considered a safe area.

Compared to other cities yeah. Those areas are the west side, south end, and east side. Which isn't to say it's the entirety of the east, west, and south of Stamford. There are just areas that haven't gotten investment in decades so they look rundown. My definition of safe is to express you won't have a confrontation if you're in the area. I don't think these areas are great for taking a family stroll, but even with that caveat there's always some park you can walk to that's ideal for that.

For context I've lived in other cities like Boston, New York, Los Angeles and I've visited cities like DC, Baltimore, Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans, Houston, Austin, New Mexico, and some other places up north. There are definitely places I remember feeling scared for my life and Stamford doesn't come anywhere close to that.

In those “worse areas”, is Stamford still safe?

I guess it’s relative depending on where you’re coming from. Stamford is a utopia if you’re coming from NYC as far as crime and cleanliness. It feels extremely safe and police seem to be omnipresent always looking out.

Damn reading that had me feeling cozy for some reason. Man I love my city.

Cove recently has a of attempted car theft and break ins. It's not a common thing however. It's usually teens just fucking around. Most people have security cameras.

I get flashed in my newer jeep because I think they believe I have my high beams on. It is hella bright just with stock so I get it

Stamford is pretty safe, especially glenbrook/Springdale area. Certain areas in the east side are iffy at night but that’s rare

Yes Exit 9 is East Side, I meant West of Mill River Park up the hill towards the hospital. I need a compass.

I think they mean south and west of mill river.

Lived here since 2016, never had an issue.

I lived in Stamford for 1 year and never felt unsafe.

I regularly walk from downtown to Glenbrook after 8 pm and haven’t had any problems other than cars not checking for pedestrians.

One of the safest in the United States accordinto to a local police officer I asked before moving here

Exit 9 is on the east side and east of mill river park is downtown. With that being said, not sure where you are trying to say is unsafe. Both of the areas are very safe.
