Lmfao. Who doesn’t love a nice steaming glass of Budweiser after a long day?

Thanks 🙏

I wouldn't send my kids to school anywhere in Stamford, hate this area but it's good for making money

Flinders Lane Kitchen & Bar does

For warm beer there's no better than Fiddlers Green. No just kidding. Try any of the Bedford Street 4 some. Tigin, Brickhouse, Bradfords or Hudson.

https://www.musclemanmoversct.com/ Done 3 moves with them. Check out their reviews they are based in Stamford far and away the best. He brings anywhere from 4 to 20 movers with his trucks depending on size of move Mike is known in Stamford looks like Mr. Clean. Honest reliable insured and have never had a single issue with them.

I think Tigin does

There's a 1 bedroom townhouse looking thing going for $800 on the East Side that just hit Zillow the other night. (I got an email about it...of course after signing a lease on a new place in Black Rock but whatevs...)

The way the market is around here right now, it's probably already gone lol.

A friend of mine was about to sign a lease there but then thought the better of it after seeing reviews. She found a larger place around the corner and it was slightly less $$$.

I have to be honest, we settled on Stamford because Westchester was totally inaccessible. Especially White Plains. Maybe it was harder the past summer or we didn’t look hard enough though. Scarsdale, Port Chester, Yonkers, etc may be a bit better but not by much.

This site's helpful:

As people mentioned, watch out for hidden fees (parking, pets, >1 month deposit, etc.), but it's not crazy to think that you could find a decent place for <$2k before paying utilities and such.

Thank you everyone for your reviews - please take 2 mins to add your review if you can!

I'd love some opinions on BLT / Harbor Point, we see lots of negative reviews here in the sub but I'd love to hear from some current tenants.

I know beggars can't be choosers but Residences on Bedford really do have truly terrible reviews, I would suggest they be a last resort. There are definitely better options out there.

A $2000 1-bed is quite rare in Stamford and, depending on your location preferences, hard to find. Obviously you'll have more luck as you go further from downtown.

Only option is to trawl Apartments.com, Zillow, Facebook Marketplace etc and be prepared to make a very quick decision as soon as something becomes available. I found my place on Apartments.com and put a deposit down 10 mins after seeing it. Good luck!

hope this helps

Very helpful thank you.

You're gonna have a hard time finding anything in your price range. Neighboring cities aren't much better either. Unless you want to live in Bridgeport. If you don't mind taking the train, I'd recommend looking somewhere on the metro north line. You'd probably have a better chance getting a place in westchester, or new haven county

It gets worse every year. When I moved to stamford 5 years ago, you were still able to find a one bedroom for less than 1500 dollars.

Good luck with bmr. I was on the bmr list for 2 years. Even knew someone who worked for leasing at harbor point. Couldn't help me

Thx!

You can try the residences on Bedford (the building seems dumpy but the apartments are spacious and overall nice) they are very cheap for the area but I’ve heard a couple bad reviews from them but if you’re looking to get out of a bad home situation then might be better to live there. Also I believe 1032 hope st is decently priced.
