My SO walks from harbor point to the train (10 minutes), train is about 50 minutes, and then takes the subway down to fidi (10 minutes), then walks a bit to his office. Door to door, takes him about 1.5 hours max, but usually closer to 1.25.

Smiling because this was me and my fiancé a year ago! We “escaped” to Stamford for a weekend from NYC. We now live in harbor point.

Agree with comments here that there’s really not many “things to do”. We came up Saturday, checked into our hotel, then went to Third Place. Would recommend! Great atmosphere, good beer and there’s usually a food truck or two. We walked down to the water (which is chilly this time of year), and grabbed another drink at a bar down by harbor point so we could take a look at some of the buildings.

For dinner, if you want to do something nicer, cafe silvium is great, but you’ll need to wait a while for a table. We “settled” for capital grille when they offered to make a table for us and had an excellent meal. Otherwise, you could just hit Bedford street and walk around exploring bars/food to see what you like! We usually do this when we have friends/family in town.

I will say, when it’s warmer, there’s much more to do. There’s activities downtown, and some restaurants will open outdoor areas to hang out at. The beer garden at shippan, for example, or The Wheel. Both on the water and a great place to day drink, eat and bring pets.

After living here about a year, I will say I recommend it! Many of the buildings are nice and nothing is ever too far away. Easy access to the city is a plus too via metro north.

I live in a BLT owned building in harbor point and don’t have any bad things to say about it. Our dishwasher was acting up when we first moved in and they replaced it no problem the very next day. The building and its shared spaces are well maintained. Yeah the rents a little higher than I would prefer, but I love having a garage, pool and gym are onsite. Apartment is spacious and we love our balcony in the summer. They also have a nice deck with grills and fire pits we use all year round.

There’s quite a few buildings you can research- some are definitely nicer (and therefore more expensive) than others. I would check out their website and look into a tour. Chances are a leasing agent will be able to speak more to each one and direct you to the building that matches up with your preferences.

One piece of advice- make sure you ask about fees. Rent may be $3500/month for an apartment, but with amenity, parking, trash, etc fees, it’ll be like an extra $250/month. Just something to consider if you have a budget in mind!

Columbus Park Trattoria. Excellent drinks, service and Italian food without the waiting/price of Cafe Silvium (which, for the record, is very good, but yes, impossible to walk in and get a table at a normal “dinner” time)

Watched the game last night at half full. Great beer and they had a food truck serving wings. They also played the game audio. Would recommend!

My fiancé and I did this a few weeks ago- have an Uber drop you off at one end and you’ve got tons of places you can pop into! Most have pretty solid food too. Enjoy!
