I know beggars can't be choosers but Residences on Bedford really do have truly terrible reviews, I would suggest they be a last resort. There are definitely better options out there.

A $2000 1-bed is quite rare in Stamford and, depending on your location preferences, hard to find. Obviously you'll have more luck as you go further from downtown.
Only option is to trawl Apartments.com, Zillow, Facebook Marketplace etc and be prepared to make a very quick decision as soon as something becomes available. I found my place on Apartments.com and put a deposit down 10 mins after seeing it. Good luck!

However be ready for some eye-watering $$$ prices! That place is great, but not cheap

I'll start things off!
Company name: MarLo Associates
Building address: 485 Summer St
When you lived there: 2022 - present
Would you recommend them: Yes!
Comments: Great management, quick to fix issues (usually same day), friendly staff and very cheap rent (relatively speaking for the area)

We should make a list of all the crappy management companies for people to avoid in Stamford. BLT who developed Harbor Point have a horrible reputation, as does the Residences on Bedford management.
I'm currently renting from MarLo Associates who own a lot of Bedford St and they have been absolutely excellent, would recommend them.
Edit: I made a thread for this if you want to add your review :)

Mint mobile has been great for me and works very well in Stamford. It uses the T-Mobile network which is strong. I pay <$20 a month, I'll DM you a referral code to save you some money if you'd like.

On this topic, anyone know where the cheapest gas in town is? I always go to the Citgo at 493 Glenbrook Road since it’s pretty cheap but would love to know if there’s anywhere better!

Maybe they are opening now so they can transition to dispensaries later when the law changes? Demand will be huge soon

With the new Whole Foods and Saks opening I think it's a huge opportunity area for new business. Seems silly to cancel the Frank Pepe when they could get so much traffic.

Ridgeway-Bulls Head heading up into North Stamford is the best area, agreed! Definitely where I would choose to buy in Stamford. Especially with the new Whole Foods opening in Ridgeway, it's got everything.

I'd learn the free bus schedule and use it all the time to get rides into Downtown! Harbor Point is pretty but extremely dull as you say. You're close to Third Place however, which is one of the best spots in Stamford, so it's not all bad!

You won't be disappointed! I'd even ask for a window seat as well if you want to impress even more. Make sure the clients are facing looking out towards the sound.

I agree their fresh selection is not amazing but if you live downtown it is total lifesaver and the only easy option if you don't want to drive! I'm there every other day pretty much.

Thank you everyone for your reviews - please take 2 mins to add your review if you can!
I'd love some opinions on BLT / Harbor Point, we see lots of negative reviews here in the sub but I'd love to hear from some current tenants.
