What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Stamford

What's great is the proximity to the downtown area. So it's near bars, restaurants and shopping center. It's also got great, well-kept parks within walking distance. This neighborhood holds a lot of events, from food and light festivals to concerts,

The location is near everything and is walkable. There are many family friendly restaurants near by.

We are across the street from a high school and walking distance to dunkin donuts and pizza. Theres also parks within walking distance

It is very close to many restaurants and shopping. I enjoy walking to the parks and around them. There are several ponds with fountains in them that are very pleasing to look at.

Because my home is in the center of the city, it is very busy, so there are my favorite food court and beauty center and my favorite shopping center for beautiful clothes

I love the location. Specifically I like how close it is to downtown, parks and the train. There are tons of restaurants and groceries stores close by.
