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!

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!

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!
