So you just moved to Stamford…now what? No matter what brought you to this sunny, coastal town, there’s always a ton of new things to try, explore and check out. And lucky for you, your friends at Morgan Manhattan have scoured the city to discover what makes Stamford a great place to call “home.”

  • Beaches- If you’re a lover of all things sand, sun and surf, you’ll be in good company. As a nautical city, Stamford has plenty of opportunities for things like sailing, fishing, swimming and crabbing at public beaches such as Cove Island Park and Cummings Park. You can also check out a variety of workshops, boat rides and concerts at SouthWaters Coastal Education Center.
  • Nature- If the beaches aren’t enough for you, not to worry—there are plenty of gorgeous nature and running trails to explore. A great one to get started with is the Mianus Maze: a 14-mile loop with beautiful river views.
  • Education- For all the “brainiacs” out there, you’ll have a lot in common with the locals here. Nine out of 10 people in Stamford have graduated high school and almost half of all residents have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher. Some of the major colleges include the University of Connecticut Stamford and Sacred Heart University. With four Fortune 500 companies calling Stamford home, job opportunities are also plentiful. Stamford boasts a population of people working in fields that require advanced math and computer backgrounds that is 95% higher than anywhere else. All that learning has made Stamford one of the highest-educated cities in the entire country!
  • Car-Friendly- Unlike many other comparably-sized cities, Stamford is very driver-friendly. The nightmare of getting to and from your favorite spots in the city is lessened with the city’s 9,500 parking spots in 15 locations. If you’re still not convinced, there’s always free trolleys and other public transportation to get you wherever you need to go.
  • Safety- You can sleep peacefully at night knowing that you are in one of the safest cities in the United States. The FBI ranked it #9 in 2006 for overall safety; an impressive feat for a city with almost 130,000 people!
