Living in North Stamford
For years, North Stamford has been the NY metro area’s best-kept secret.
Right off the Merritt Parkway, nestled between Greenwich, New Canaan and Bedford, NY, North Stamford is a place of sanctuary that provides a welcome life balance (less than an hour from midtown Manhattan).
North Stamford is made up of minimum 1 acre lots and larger homes.
You just have to step outside your door to be immersed in nature.
Recent transplants have learned what long-time residents have known for decades:
You don’t need to move to the Hudson Valley to find someplace safe, green and quiet.
Low property taxes, good schools, open space and clean, fresh air make it hard to believe that you can be this close to Manhattan. This part of Connecticut has long been a haven for NYC commuters. The secret is out, as many New Yorkers look to relocate to some place that provides some personal space.
North Stamford is still a well-kept secret that balances rural serenity with enough creature comforts to provide the best of both worlds.
There is still time to get in, but there are limited homes available. If you’re considering North Stamford you should contact an agent to get the lay of the land. These local insiders can alert you to homes before they even come available on the market.

Thinking About Making the Move?
Maybe you have friends or colleagues who have taken the leap – perhaps even some who have relocated to Connecticut. There are many couples and families who have recently made the move looking for a little more balance and space in their lives. They still love the city – and even with their new work-from-home status, they need the ability to commute easily into the city.
With everything going on, maybe you’ve started to question if the trade off is still worth it. Does that apartment still give you the life you want? Maybe you’re wondering what it would be like to live somewhere that gives you significantly more square footage and some outdoor space. Somewhere that has reasonably priced homes, nearby amenities and does not have punishing property taxes.
To consider your options, you can simply draw a circle around Manhattan. You basically have four choices: New Jersey, Long Island, Westchester and Connecticut…
