An industrial setting meets beach walkability in the East Side of Stamford
The East Side of Stamford combines quiet residential streets with small industrial pockets and walkability to the Long Island Sound shore. A wooden bridge stretches across nearby Cove Island Park's eastern and western regions, connecting its two beaches. “Walkability to this beach is a huge selling point,” says Meera Banta, a Realtor with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, who has sold several homes in the area. “You’re just minutes away from the water without paying for a waterfront house.” Ice hockey games and pickleball matches happen at the Chelsea Piers, a 465,000-square-foot recreation complex on Blachley Road that also has a fitness center. Car repair shops and a diverse array of restaurants line Main Street, the neighborhood’s core road adjacent to the Connecticut Turnpike. Storage facilities and warehouses sit alongside Metro-North Railroad tracks in East Side’s western region. Residents can also reach big-box retailers and Italianate-style restaurants in downtown Stamford, only 2 miles away.
A rental-heavy neighborhood with single-family houses and condos
Along the sidewalk-lined streets of East Side, single-family houses were built between the 1920s and ‘60s. Common styles include bungalows, Dutch Colonial revivals and minimal traditional cottages. The median lot size is less than a quarter-acre. Passers-by may see gravel driveways, low stone walls, ornamental shrubs and red maple trees. “More and more renovated houses are hitting the market in East Side,” Banta says. “People are starting to invest in these properties because of how close they are to the beach.” The neighborhood is 60% renters and 28% industrial. Homes typically cost between $250,000 to $650,000, which is below the $700,000 average sales price in Stamford. Condo complexes are typically red-brick buildings from the 1970s and ‘80s. The 55-plus Kingswood complex has two-bedroom units starting at $200,000, while the Glenbrook complex has New Traditional options selling for $400,000.

A Long Island Sound beach with a wildlife sanctuary
Cove Island Park is less than a mile from East Side. In the park’s western section on the mainland, great egrets fly over the Cove Island Wildlife Sanctuary, where pink milkweed plants attract monarch butterflies, and Stamford’s only sand dunes overlook the Long Island Sound. Rollerbladers and bike riders glide across the sidewalk system, which offers views of the center-console and fishing boats parked at Cove Island Marina’s wooden docks. Umbrellas and foldable chairs dot the sandy shoreline in the eastern section of Cove Island Park. Rocky shoreline surrounds the SoudWaters Coastal Education Center, an aquarium and kayak rental hub. Costing $27 per car, a season pass is required to enter any Stamford beach.

Chelsea Piers is a bustling recreation hub
Opened in 2014, Chelsea Piers Athletic Club offers personal training and facilities for over 20 sports. Single membership costs $185 per month, while family membership is $350. “Most kids in Stamford will play at least one sport here. It’s the nicest recreation center in town,” Banta says. Locals learn to swim in the Olympic-sized swimming pool, which also hosts competitive swim meets. Curtains separate courts in the basketball complex during youth games, while the turf soccer fields host adult leagues. Kids balance on high beams in the gymnastics studio, scale the plastic rock-climbing wall and bounce in the trampoline park. NBC Sports Group employs over 700 people in its 180,000-square-foot, all-glass office building next to the recreation center. On Courtland Avenue, wooden fencing encloses Stamford Dog Park, which is split into two sections for large and small dogs.
