Top Things to Know Before Moving to Downtown Stamford (MUST WATCH)

[@rehaanahamed8571]

Loved the way you said’ this is where we party, this is where we eat and this is where we live’ xD

[@relocatetoconnecticut]

😂 Growing up in NYC - everything is everywhere. In CT everything is zoned and sectioned. Took me a few years to get used to that

[@colemancummings6692]

Born there! Spent most of life there! I be going up there in June! Can't wait!!!

Such a cool little hidden area. Idk about the schools but its a fantastic place for single 30s and 40s.😊

I love living downtown and able to walk everywhere. It’s been weeks since I put gas in my car 😂

[@relocatetoconnecticut]

Agreed. Sometimes it’s nice just to walk

[@dolittle6781]

That's exactly what I'm talking about. I read somewhere that NYC might start charging people for driving their cars in certain parts of the city. Love cars, but we may be entering a time in history where we have too much of a good thing - automobiles in cities. Let's do more to pedestrianize the downtown area and make Stamford even more walkable than it already is. That's really the only way to see and appreciate all the new amenities cropping up in the central part of the city.

@@relocatetoconnecticut ...or ride your bike, but Stamford, not unlike many medium-sized cities, has a long way to go when it comes to cycling. Much more needs to be done for cyclists to feel safe on the city’s roads. But building high quality cycling infrastructure would be a major feather in the cap for this community.

Can you do more videos about Stamford especially for persons moving with kids? Like what part of Stamford to move to with good school districts, parts and fun things for kids to do. Tanks in advance.

[@relocatetoconnecticut]

Sure ! I plan on making more videos but I’ve honestly been very very busy. The summer is our busiest season for sales here.

Easy Peezy! Well mostly. Love the place but seriously need to restrict cars in the downtown areas. Way too many cars for my taste. At least once a week for a day or two on the weekends make the central shopping and entertainment “sections” pedestrian zones. Let people feel safe riding their bikes there. That’s the way forward for post car centric cities. Make it a priority to deal with the consumption of alcohol especially at Cummings Beach and the loud music. Perhaps the same goes for West Beach. Last time I was there the place was seriously out of control and families would avoid the place blighted by throngs of drinkers and unreasonable levels of noise. It used to be a really beautiful beach quiet, peaceful. Change the laws and stop permitting loitering and gawking, too. Keep the parking areas there paved/potholes free. Never saw so much beer drinking at any other beach. Not really the beach but the boardwalk at the head of gorgeous sandy areas. Feels like the drinkers are on the beach. It was years ago when I experienced those things and maybe things have changed for the better.

It's very expensive and the schools suck. I know, I'm from Stamford.

[@relocatetoconnecticut]

Stamford is not a cheap place to live that's for sure
