I think you should set up an appointment with a few agents in town and see who you click with. Personally, I love that area, it's very convenient, close to town, & nice neighborhood feel. Any agent will want to help you :) if you do not have a friend you trust to recommend someone to you, then definitely meet with a few agents to see what they have to offer. :)

I live in Hubbard Heights (St George Ave) and it's a very nice neighborhood. Lot's of younger families moving in and you can always see neighbors walking their dogs and strollers down the side walks. Everyone is really friendly. The neighborhood association ($10/yr donation) is awesome and they have annual get togethers.

Hello Adina,
Stamford is a great place to live, I see you are coming from Darien. The Hubbard heights area has a lot to offer. I attached a link of the homes in this area, have a look and let me answer any questions you might have..

Hello, Adina,
This is one of my favorite areas in Stamford; lots of older homes, many recently renovated, and very conveniently located. Currently I am spending quite a bit of time there searching for another party and will be glad to assist you. I have lived in Stamford for over 40 years and know it thoroughly and my agency specializes in Stamford. Contact me if I can assist you.

Hi Adina.

That's the Hubbard Heights area; and yes it's quite lovely. Have you driven it? I always suggest to my clients that they drive around the area before looking for a home. That way, you will see for yourself what you think of the neighborhood.

Depending on what you're looking for, Hubbard Heights is close to alot of things. Schools, parks, golf course, downtown, Stamford Hospital, I95 and more. Like many other neighborhoods in Stamford, you will find residents who have lived in the area for years and wouldn't think of living elsewhere. It's a close-knit community with an active "counsel." But the best way to know for sure is to drive it and look for people walking in the area. Just stop and ask. (Yes, it's safe to do so.)

Good luck with your search, and of course, if I can be of further service, don't hesitate to email me: LenSchwartz@kw.com. (I know you weren't looking for an agent to recommend themself, but I would happily send you references of clients who recently bought in Stamford.)

Have a great day!

Len
