Boston is more expensive than stamford by a bit (think 10% give or take), but boston has more to do.

I lived in Boston for my 20s and early 30s and moved to stamford a few years ago. Id rather have kids here and be 35 i suppose. But i have no regrets of being 25 in Boston.

For reference, boston has 48 sq miles of land, stamford is 37 sq miles of land. Boston has 650k people and stamford has 130k people. (5x the people on 1.3x the land).

If you want urban life its boston, if you want suburban life its stamford. Its a nice suburb but doesn't feel like a city really.

If you have the money to afford it, live in Boston. The amount of young people your age, tons of activities and sporting events, its no comparison to Stamford. You can always move to stamford if you get tired of Boston
