Quaint shopping centers and big recreational hubs near downtown Stamford
Suburban Belltown is a relaxed Stamford neighborhood with cottages, cul-de-sac streets and easy commuter access. The Stamford Jewish Community Center takes up 14 acres across Newfield Avenue, a two-lane thoroughfare also home to a massive retail center and several churches. Residents can walk to a standalone pizzeria and a deli on Belltown Avenue or enjoy playground equipment at 6-acre Barrett Park. “A lot of people move here because Toquam Elementary and Dolan Middle are right next to each other, and kids can walk there,” says Todd Auslander, a co-founder of The Auslander Kasindorf Team at Keller Williams Realty, who has sold several properties in the area. The nearby Springdale and Glenbrook MTA stations connect Belltown to cities across Connecticut and New York.

Indoor and outdoor recreation at the Stamford Jewish Community Center
The Stamford JCC has been a community hub for athletics and arts since 1981. “You don’t have to be Jewish to join,” Auslander says. “They’ve got a great fitness center and a bunch of different summer camps, so it’s very convenient to live near.” The six-lane indoor pool hosts swimming classes, water aerobics and competitive youth leagues. Six blue and green rubber tennis courts are outside, and pickleball nets stretch across the gymnasium every morning before they are removed for pick-up basketball games. Kids can join the three-week summer theater camp, ending with a musical performance in the amphitheater. Individual memberships cost $80 per month, and family plans are $130. Newfield Avenue is home to three religious centers, including the Union Baptist Church on a 4-acre property and the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witness. Three bells chime atop St. John’s Lutheran Church, known for its pumpkin patch fundraiser every October.

An easy commute to New York City and New Haven
Though some streets are sidewalk-lined, Belltown is convenient for several types of travel. “This is an ideal location for New York City commuters because it’s right between the Glenbrook and Springdale train stations,” Auslander says.

The Connecticut Turnpike is 3 miles south of the neighborhood, making New York City another 40-mile drive south and New Haven equidistant to the north. Numerous Connecticut Transit bus stops are along Newfield Avenue. Stamford Hospital is less than 5 miles south of Belltown, and the Westchester County Airport is 15 miles northwest.
