Our top moving tips when moving to Stamford Connecticut
Stamford is a financial hub, home to an impressive mix of finance, insurance, management, real estate, digital media, health, and consumer goods companies as part of its local economy.
For many new residents, it’s one of the factors when choosing to call the city home, larger homes with a close commute to a thriving economy and job market.
But there is a raft of other considerations to know before you arrive at your new city:
- Bring the car. You’ll have 30 days to transfer your out of state licence and 60 days to transfer your registration at the local DMV after moving from New York. Put that task at the top of your To Do list, so you can get out to nature areas, trails and parks like Mianus River Park, Cove Island Park and Cummings Park.
- Interstate & beyond. Stamford’s closest airport is Westchester County Airport 8 miles away, followed by La Guardia in Queens 26 miles away, but all told there are 5 international and 2 regional airports to get you in and out. For commuting to Boston or Washington, Stamford has an Amtrak station including high speed Acela services. Of course there’s also the Metro-North Line, for which Stamford is the second busiest stop, after Grand Central Terminal in NYC.
- Price Tag. The living costs in this city are fairly high and it has been ranked one of the most expensive cities to live in the United States, with utility costs much more than the national average. Property taxes in Connecticut are also higher than the US average.
- Educated residents. The percentage of residents with a bachelor’s degree or higher is amongst the highest in the country in Stamford. The University of Connecticut, University of Bridgeport and Sacred Heart University each have campuses in Stamford. The city has 3 public high schools, 5 public middle schools and several private schools including the B-Cultural Jewish Day School, Villa Maria School, the Long Ridge School and King Low Heywood Thomas. Stamford is also home to the largest public library in the state, Ferguson Library.
- Cultural highlights. Stamford is known for its antiquing and history buffs who love collectables from the past, at centers like Hamptons Antique Galleries, the Antique and Artisan Center and the Harbor View Center for Antiques. If the arts are more your thing, visit the beautifully restored Palace Theatre to see the Stamford Symphony Orchestra, try the Stamford Museum and Nature Centre with a working farm the family would love or a film complex like the Avon Theatre on quaint Bedford Street.
- A word about Downtown. Connecting the tranquil Harbour Point waterfront district with Downtown is the Harbour Point Trolley service which is free and runs along 14 stops in a loop. It makes it easy to get to more than 80 restaurants and clubs, farmers markets and other attractions Downtown where you will also find one of the most unique stained glass structures in the world, the 14 metre high Stamford Cone.
