    "Been living here for seven months now. Great place for young couples and families with restaurants nearby and a number of convenient apartment living choices available. Also, a relatively short train ride to New York city, which is another perk in living in Stamford. "

    "Commute is simple. Everything is around you. Walk, bus, train or car. 95 and Merritt are around. Merrit is bit of a hike but otherwise good. Parking can be difficult but street parking can always be found. "
