34 Crescent Street, 1K Stamford, CT 06906

Stamford is the second most populated city in Connecticut, after Bridgeport. Like many of its neighbors, Stamford is often considered a suburb of New York City, but unlike the more residential towns, Stamford is also a legitimate urban powerhouse on its own. For many commuters in Fairfield County, Stamford is the daily destination, rather than New York. Companies headquartered here include Charter Communications, Henkel, NBC Sports Group, Vineyard Vines, and Design Within Reach. There are also plenty of specialized hedge funds, bank divisions, and trading houses in the city’s financial district. Unlike the nearby towns, Stamford has many apartment buildings that range from older condominium complexes of just a few levels to new construction luxury high rises. Single-family homes here include more modest traditional houses, as well as waterfront estates. Most housing in Stamford is close to one of the town’s three train stations, making it easy for commuters.
