Thank you for visiting my site and I extend a very warm Welcome to Stamford. This is a uniquely dynamic and vibrant city by the sea. Containing every possible setting for outstanding living, Stamford stretches from the sparkling shores of Long Island Sound through a vital urban center and then through rural New England charm to bucolic multi-acre estates which rest in its wooded northern reaches. 

Transportation is simple from this ideal location approximately 45 miles northeast of New York City. Both Interstate 95 and the Merritt Parkway traverse its 44 square miles. The first Metro-North express stop out of Manhattan is here in our Transportation Center. Amtrak also transports travelers to myriad destinations. 

As a corporate center, Stamford is one of the top locations in North America, ranked as the 8th largest. Glittering office towers decorate the downtown area and architecturally celebrated corporate parks are home to the world headquarters of companies such as Xerox, USB Warburg, GE Capital, Hyperion and Champion International. Some 110 companies have moved to Stamford, enhancing its vital atmosphere of intelligent growth and its numerous employment opportunities. 

Stamford's cultural wealth embraces the Stamford Center For The Arts, The Palace Theatre, The Stamford Symphony, Sterling Farms Theatre Complex and the Connecticut Ballet. For connoisseurs of the written word, the Ferguson Library is rated among the country's best. The Stamford Town Center regional mall and many specialty stores offer shopping to satisfy even the most discriminating of tastes. Culinary appetites can also be satisfied with the varied number of outstanding restaurants throughout the city and yes - the very best of pizzas! For recreation there are three beautiful beaches, marinas, two golf courses, the Stamford Museum and Nature Center, indoor ice skating, hiking trails, parks and pool. 

Its educational system proudly rivals any in the state. Stamford's school system has been recognized as one of ten school districts across the country to be named a model of exemplary education reform by the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future. Stamford was the first in the State of Connecticut to implement a School Readiness Program, a pre-kindergarten education that was cited as a model for the rest of the nation by former U.S. Secretary of Education, Richard Riley. 

The diversity of residential settings in this comfortable coastal city is peerless. With superb waterfront homes, quiet residential neighborhoods, in-town urban living and serenely wooded country settings, Stamford fulfills every desire. Established in 1641, this flourishing community has a long history of successful endeavor and the future is still very bright in Stamford, Connecticut.
