I grew up in stamford - only a few places aren't safe in stamford - springdale is awesome - not pretentious - good services, shopping, schools, lots of families - youth sports. stamford and springdale in general are safe great places to llive. - Thu Nov 29 2007, 21:50
I grew up in Stamford - it's a pretty cool place - changing and evolving all the time. I believe that range could be reasonable - the market is a bit soft now so now is the time for sure. Schools in stamford are ranked very well so I believe public schools would do just fine. greenwich is nearby but not within range - norwalk might have more bang for the buck but even the commute traffic from norwalk to stamford makes it miserable. go for stamford i would say. they can always also hop the train and be in nyc in 45 minutes, nice change of pace and speed if needed. - Thu Nov 29 2007, 21:41
Absolutely safe and convenient. A pretty neighborhood or nice sized beautiful houses and tree lined streets that drop you quickly and easily into downtown - shopping, supermarkets, etc. There are areas that border hubbard heights but there is not much danger. My grandmother has lived on hubbard avenue for 60 years and never had a problem. - Thu Nov 29 2007, 21:35
