Yes it’s considered safe. Not as close as most would like if you want to closer to the downtown scene though. If you don’t care about that then you’re fine. Aside from busy roadways which is most of Stamford then you’re A okay. Urby is pretty sought after but if you’d rather be in a “safer community” then you should check out Harbor point if you really want a community feel. You have a market, plenty of restaurants and a dog park.

Urby is literally 2 blocks from Bedford street, harbor point is drastically further away from ‘downtown’. Urby is also more of a retail/office area so would be drastically more quiet than harbor point, and Harbor point directly abuts TERRIBLE neighborhoods. There are like three half way houses 2 blocks from it.
I would consider Urby drastically safer and quieter than anything in harbor point.

Everyone has their own opinions. I currently live on Bedford Street and it is beyond noisy and if someone is a light sleeper then you’ll be up half the night. So I suggested Harbor point for somebody who has a dog and wants a safe area for them to walk, and they have a place for them to play as well. And it is much quieter at Harbor point than it is on Bedford Street or Urby. Also, I said if you don’t care much about the downtown area than Harbor point is also a good choice.

Safe? With shootings on the surrounding streets every month?

Safe with shootings inside the apartment buildings and restaurants?
Safe with hammer wielding psychos attacking people in apartment lobbies?
Safe with street stabbings at 9am?

Yes Harbor Point is safe lol. It's amusing to me as someone who's moved here from a larger city, how "unsafe" people think Stamford is. I guess if you've grown up relatively sheltered then sure, HP is "dangerous". Been here for a year and a half with zero problems. Drive through the surrounding areas all the time. Nothing. Just because someone looks at you a certain way or is of a different...ahem...color than you, doesn't mean in general the place isn't safe.

To be fair, it’s gonna happen literally anywhere you go. It can happen on Bedford Street, it can happen over in Glenbrook, it can happen at Harbor point. Anywhere you go is not 100% safe.

I’m not claiming everywhere to be 100% safe. But at some point you need to start looking at the frequency of incidents and accept that some areas have a higher chance of violence occurring than others.

Agreed. You couldn’t pay me to live in Harbor Point because of the slums that immediately surround it

Yup! Just like that. There are a few other buildings around it as well with different names but if you do a little bit more research about them they’ll come up. All luxury living:) hope I could help a bit.

Thank you a lot! I was a little worried about URBY because of the noise risk in the area (both my partner and my dog are very sensitive and may not sleep well at URBY!)

Yes, Harbor point will probably suit you much better. If you want something quieter, maybe don’t get an apartment right next to sign of the whale which is pretty popular bar in the Harbor point area but other than that anything around there will be much quieter than anything in the downtown area of Stamford
