Springdale
Suburban Neighborhood in Stamford, Connecticut
Fairfield County 06907
Colonial homes and condos in the NYC suburbs
Offices and commercial businesses line Hope Street, the walkable commercial corridor that goes north-south through Springdale. However, most houses are on quiet, tree-lined residential streets. “It’s predominantly single-family homes, but there is a mix of condos and multi-family properties as well,” Auslander says. Condos were built in the mid-to-late 20th century, ranging from brick high-rises to smaller townhouses with vinyl siding. Prices for condos vary depending on size, but they generally fluctuate between $200,000 and $500,000. Colonials and bungalows from the early 1900s and Cape Cods and ranches from the mid-1900s sit close together on residential streets. These single-family homes are priced between $500,000 and $800,000.

Golfing, ice skating and hiking at local green spaces
Neighbors come together to cultivate green spaces throughout the neighborhood. The Friends of Sleepy Hollow Park organization meets to remove invasive species from the marshy area and pick up litter so residents can enjoy walking their dogs or observing turtles and birds at Sleepy Hollow Park. Kids play little league games and run around the playground at Drotar Park. Golfers play rounds on the Sterling Farms Golf Course, a public 18-hole golf course built on the site of a former dairy farm. Golfers can still enjoy views of the antique farm buildings framing the green. Kids learn to ice skate at Twin Rinks and return for hockey tournaments. For an indoor recreational activity, locals go ice skating at Twin Rinks. Beaches are also nearby, including Cove Island Park, which has a sandy shoreline and a paved walking loop with exercise equipment for residents to get active along the coast.

The neighborhood association throws community events
The Springdale Neighborhood Association organizes community get-togethers, like seasonal cleanups, where people meet at a park and pick up debris. At the community holiday tree lighting, kids snack on cookies and sip hot chocolate while waiting to take pictures with Santa. The Weed Memorial and Hollander Branch Library hosts regular activities, like play times and storytimes for toddlers and "crafternoons" for older kids.The New Haven rail line goes to New York City
Neighbors can walk to the Springdale train station, which also has a commuter parking lot. Commuters headed to New York City can board the Metro-North New Haven Line’s New Canaan Branch, which takes them south to Grand Central Terminal in about an hour and a half. If they’re traveling throughout Stamford, residents can catch a CTtransit bus at several stops. Bus Route 333 takes locals downtown in about 20 minutes. Drivers can head southwest on Hope Street for 4 miles to reach downtown or keep going and merge onto Interstate 95. The interstate takes residents southwest towards Greenwich and New York City or northeast towards Bridgeport and New Haven.

Local restaurants in Springdale
Springdale has a handful of restaurants, but Auslander says that most residents head downtown to go out to eat. In the neighborhood, locals can enjoy breakfast platters from Springdale Diner, a nostalgic eatery with bar stools and a checkered tile floor. For lunch, there’s Ron’s Deli, which sells cold cuts, containers of pasta salad and chocolate chip cookies. Neighbors can watch a game while they share pizza and wings at Riko’s Pizza. DiMare Pastry Shop is a go-to spot for dessert, where residents can indulge in cannoli or cupcakes. DiMare bakes for special occasions with its custom-decorated birthday and wedding cakes. Sophia Market is a neighborhood spot for organic produce, but locals must leave Springdale to shop at larger supermarkets like Trader Joe’s and ACME Market. Retailers like Target, Burlington and Macy’s are 4 miles away in downtown Stamford.
