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.

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
