To be very honest it’ll be very hard to find a one bedroom for less than 2k, and there’s also extra fees in any places that you decide to rent depending on the amenities. Also keep in mind that most places will charge you a pet rent and it varies.
I was looking for places a few months ago and the cheapest 1 bedroom I found was around 2300 + other fees.

Pretty sure Zody’s does a Hot Toddy, not sure about cider.

Piece of Cake Moving

Looking for 1 br apartments $2000 below

Stamford isn’t particularly affordable, especially now. What’s your budget?

I just used smooth move and was very happy with them. They were also the cheapest quote I got.

I was also happy with smooth move and delivery

we used Smooth Move & Delivery and i only remember that bc their acronym is SMD 😂

Not everyone's favorite thing, but if your just hiring a person to help you move things, hiring a day labor is a pretty good way to go.

Question: Do you have a day or 2 for do that on your own? Can somebody help you?

If Yes you can probably spare some money and rent a uhaul if needed

Hello neighbor! Agree with your comments, I’ve lived at 485 Summer 2+ years and rent has only been raised by $25 since moving in. Accessing the garage can be a pain if the Spring St lot is busy but other than that it’s been great.

I’m glad your experience has been good so far and I hope that it stays that way! It was probably helpful that you knew what you were getting into with renovations before signing your lease. For me having everything on site was a must and we weren’t told that we would go months without this being the case. maitaince manager is excellent ( he’s part of the employees left from the old management) but twice when he was off duty i had to beg someone to fix a faulty fire alarm going off in the middle of the night. someone came late morning and fixed it only for it to go off again the next night. finally after 2 sleepless nights the manager fixed it for good. unfortunately i was not surprised by the email mess-up based on other unprofessional behavior i’ve seen from them.

I do and it is annoying but I came from the city where I’d have to walk blocks to find my car so it’s still better

Company Name: GNA Associates
Building Address: 51 Bank Street
When you lived there: from 8/21 to 11/22
Would you recommend them: Yes
Comments: When we were looking in the area, they were offering $3050/month for a 3 bed/2 bath with washer/dryer unit. Most other buildings wanted $5k+ for the same.

I wouldn’t say they were super responsive on maintenance or the most organized, but as long as you paid rent on time they also never hassled you. We needed to go month-to-month after our lease ended, which should have jacked up our rent, but they never assessed it or asked us to renew.

The biggest potential downside is that the walls are paper thin to adjoining apartments, and the windows are fairly old, so noise could be an issue. I used to live on a busy intersection in NYC, so it didn’t bother me too much.

Bonus: there’s a restaurant on the first floor (Quartiere) that’s pretty good, and fun to hit up when we wanted to grab drinks/food on a whim.

I just moved in a few weeks ago so I don’t have the full picture yet, but so far everything has been wonderful here, minus the renovations. The staff has been super accommodating, everything is clean and the maintenance people have been great - they even mounted my tv and hung a mirror for me. The renovations are unfortunate but they havent been disruptive if you don’t really use the gym and I only hope the outcome will be positive and useful!!

I did see the email that went out stating tenant names and as a head of HR I was pretty appalled and cringed but assumed it was a one time thing.

I am going to keep my eyes open and keep on top of them for any issues that come up but so far I’ve liked living here a lot and everyone is really friendly.

Company name: Sofi Building address: 50 forest

When you lived there: 2022- present

Would you recommend them: yes

Comments: Super quick maintenance requests. Thick walls, almost never hear neighbors. Only issues are the mail system (it's a hot mess, finding your own mail can be a massive pain if you don't use the Amazon hub.) Also, there's only three elevators for an entire building's worth of people. Overall would recommend, they've treated us well, as they should considering the price.

However be ready for some eye-watering $$$ prices! That place is great, but not cheap

I'll start things off!

Company name: MarLo Associates
Building address: 485 Summer St
When you lived there: 2022 - present
Would you recommend them: Yes!
Comments: Great management, quick to fix issues (usually same day), friendly staff and very cheap rent (relatively speaking for the area)

+1 for MarLo. When I lived in one of the buildings they were great. Super down to earth and reasonable, very responsive when you have any issues.

Yes we had to until a spot opened up. It’s a pain in the ass. You need to walk up stairs if you leave or get home before target is opened. It didn’t feel safe to me. Also, target has requirements about where you are allowed to park (only on certain floors and all the way in the back)

we were told they have parking in target because their parking lot is full… does anyone actually use that?

yikes this sounds like a lot
