Driving to the city at any time is generally discouraged, but with your times it isnt likely that bad. Id consider the train if its a possibility.

I'd second the sentiment of the faux-luxury stuff in Stamford. Can't speak for all of them, but Arrive's apartments are just as nice as the luxury buildings downtown at a much better value. Had a great experience here so far.

I live in a BLT owned building in harbor point and don’t have any bad things to say about it. Our dishwasher was acting up when we first moved in and they replaced it no problem the very next day. The building and its shared spaces are well maintained. Yeah the rents a little higher than I would prefer, but I love having a garage, pool and gym are onsite. Apartment is spacious and we love our balcony in the summer. They also have a nice deck with grills and fire pits we use all year round.

There’s quite a few buildings you can research- some are definitely nicer (and therefore more expensive) than others. I would check out their website and look into a tour. Chances are a leasing agent will be able to speak more to each one and direct you to the building that matches up with your preferences.

One piece of advice- make sure you ask about fees. Rent may be $3500/month for an apartment, but with amenity, parking, trash, etc fees, it’ll be like an extra $250/month. Just something to consider if you have a budget in mind!

none of the apartments are actually luxury. they are just decorated with cheap materials to make them look luxury

Don’t listen to all the bad things people say about BLT. I’ve had a good experience so far. Of course they will jack up your rent year after year so it is what it is. If you can afford it, you’ll like it.

Hi! So I don’t live in Harbor Point so I can’t comment on the buildings, but I can say that you shouldn’t have too much traffic leaving at those hours. Those are definitely tough hours just to be up and doing 4 days a week but I drive to the city from Stamford 2-3 days a week and I find it very doable early AM / late evening so I’m sure you’ll be ok!

The Stanley is garden homes and is an ok, no frills rental. Not bad so far. Couple of small issues - Parking is bundled with your rent, meaning you have to pay for it whether or not you have a car. And the water does not get as hot as it should.

Avoid Vault.

Avoid Hoyt-Bedford apartments.

Avoid AJH management too

big agree on that! espcially with the closest persian resturant being kolbeh in white plains..

I like village because there's a much shorter wait time and i think they're pretty on par in terms of quality. but depends on what im in the mood for. when my (long distance) boyfriend visited for the first time i took him to liz sue because its a quintessential Stamford experience

I love freshco! she sells persian stews on the side as well, they're great

Walked by a short while ago. Some dried blood splatter on sidewalk but nothing else evidencing this sad and despicable act. Wound up world. Hate is a malignancy.... Sad to see this crap hit home....

I second this, stay far away from the Residences

Definitely avoid residency on bedford they are horrible

Very curious about this as well

Thank u for sharing

Oh, yeah I saw police out there this morning and was wondering what that was. What are the sources we can check for updates?

I went through the training a few years ago and found it quite disorganized. So much so that it turned me off from following through. The people are nice but I found the experience to be frustrating. I’m now volunteering with Caring Hospice and it’s been a much better (and more organized!) experience.

They closed the scene pretty immediately when police arrived and police didn’t leave until 9am. There’s lots of blood on the sidewalk and street outside of Kashi.
