How is the rental market in the Glenbrook and how is that area perceived in terms of safety, schools, population? Is there a strong demand for rentals and is it more family oriented or are there also single professionals who might traditionally rent in downtown or by the water?

It's more family oriented and young professionals priced out of downtown/ harbor point. There are certainly one bedroom apartments, or people with roommates, variety of folks in them.

Thanks! Do most units rent pretty quickly?

Talked to a coworker who lives there recently. It's slowed down since COVID stopped being as much of a concern. But idk how much

I stayed in Glenbrook area for a few months back in 2019, room share deal in order to commute into NYC. So don't have too much insight for current market. I think the rental market is pretty strong.

I ended up buying a two family in Waterside section, which is definitely more urban. 2nd floor tenants came with property and have been awesome. I've turned first floor over twice so far and each time I've listed I'm inundated with interest. My main issue is weeding through all the under qualified prospects. Fingers crossed, but current couple has been solid thus far. Had it rented in about 2 weeks and that was me doing all the advertising, screening, showings myself.

Its chill there, the only real issue you'll have is people driving like maniacs on hope street

I’m actually a realtor in Fairfield County. Pricing in Glenbrook is 2200+ as of right now.

Rentals are always going to move on and off the market quickly no matter how the real estate market looks. So demand is always high but there’s always new supply coming on.

Safety wise, Glenbrook is one of the safest areas in Stamford. Schools are rated a 6-8 and as a tip if you ever want to see those ratings for any area use greatschools.org

Glenbrook is generally a family oriented area but there is definitely a mix of younger tenants.

I wouldn't send my kids to school anywhere in Stamford, hate this area but it's good for making money
