I live at the Classic on Forest Street. Decent for what it is but no more shuttle to the train. Personally from what you are saying about the train check out the Smyth which is being finished now. While I am sure the apartments are renting for a premium once that building and the adjacent buidling with Life Fitness are finsihed, they along with Atlantic Station will be best for commuters and really never heard much negativley on 75 Tresser Street which has a nice gym and great common areas and courtyard type pool.

The Smyth looks like it was built really well with a lot of attention to detail by Lennar Homes (newer developer to stamford virtually every other building was either FD Rich, Mario Capelli or RMS Construction. Tons of amenities not sure if they will eventualy get the retail fillled but we are in desperaton mode for a walkable supermarket. Maybe, just maybe the space in the retail for the Smyth becomes a food market. Fresh Market? That would be great.

Lived in Stamford for like 17 years. I use to live right next to Stamford high and I’m in Springdale now. Never had an issue. However you’re close to Hope St and the only thing I would say is there are a lot of car accidents on that street. With crime nothing really violently. If you’re going Downtown Stamford (like Bedford st) is typically safe during the day, but can get a little aggressive during the night time. That’s where all the bars are though. Be more cautious driving/walking by Bedford Street, Hope Street, Summer Street , Washington Boulevard and Bedford Street be because people speed around there alot drive recklessly. When it comes to violent crimes it doesn’t really happen. Especially around Glenbrook, Springdale, Newfield area.
