Getting to Know Springdale in Stamford, CT

Springdale is a great section of Stamford.  Being a Stamford native and knowing all the ins and outs of each neighborhood, I can say that with sincerity.

It's easy to view a house online and picture yourself in it; but making that committment to actually rent or buy can be nerve-wracking if you don't know the area.

Ugh, who can resist some really great diner food??

Springdale is also great for families. The Stamford Twin Rinks offers more than what you might think. From figure skating to hockey, dance lessons to fitness centers, birthday parties to summer camps, this organization is hopping all year long. But one really fun activity to check out is "Friday Night DJ Skate" when the arena lights are dimmed, the ice rink is lit up to simulate a club atmosphere, and the music pumps out popular requests that can be made right from the penalty box.  This center, fun for everyone in the family is not even a mile away from our listing!

If it's a little more relaxed atmosphere you crave, then a short drive (approximately 10 minutes) up the road will lead you to the Sterling Farms Golf Course.  Set amongst 144 acres, this 18 hole course offers a quiet, park-like setting, heated driving range and amenities, and has continuosly been rated Fairfield County's #1 public golf course.
