With such a wide range of communities packed into one city, choosing the right neighborhood is a key part of a successful move.
At Murphy Moving & Storage, we’ve helped countless families and professionals relocate to Stamford’s diverse neighborhoods. Whether you’re downsizing to a downtown condo or upsizing to a North Stamford estate, our team makes the transition smooth and stress-free.
Just minutes from downtown, Shippan Point offers upscale coastal living with private beaches, marinas, and scenic streets. It's ideal for professionals, retirees, and families who value waterfront views and a quiet, luxury lifestyle. With narrow roads and unique property layouts, our team is well-prepared to handle moves in this exclusive area.
Located northeast of downtown, Glenbrook and Springdale offer a suburban feel with city convenience. These neighborhoods are walkable, family-friendly, and close to Metro-North stations. With a mix of homes and a strong community vibe, they’re perfect for families and commuters. We regularly assist moves here thanks to their popularity and accessibility.
North Stamford provides space and privacy with wooded lots, quiet roads, and large homes. It’s a top choice for those seeking a peaceful, nature-filled setting. While it feels removed from the city, it’s still well-connected. Our crews are experienced in managing moves to these spacious properties with care and efficiency.
Stamford offers a wide mix of housing, and each neighborhood has its own style. Whether you’re moving into a downtown apartment or a large home in the suburbs, knowing what to expect can help you prepare.
Downtown Stamford features a mix of modern high-rises and historic mid-rise buildings, offering both sleek, new apartments and older structures with character. This blend of architectural styles gives the area a dynamic, city-centered feel with options for both classic charm and contemporary living.
These areas are made up of single-family homes, duplexes, and smaller townhouses. Streets are easier to access, and most homes have driveways. These are common areas for families, and the moving process here is usually simple and direct.
Closer to the water, Shippan and Cove have a mix of older homes, condos, and waterfront properties. With the majority of its land—87%—zoned for one- and two-family homes, Shippan offers a residential setting that feels both spacious and private.
North Stamford features an upscale suburban feel, with large homes, spacious yards, and a mix of traditional and modern architectural styles focused on comfort, privacy, and elegance.
Stamford gives you two very different living experiences—coastal or inland. Here’s how they compare:
Living near the water comes with a lot of appeal—beach access, ocean views, and a relaxed coastal feel. These areas often have higher home prices and property taxes, and some properties may require flood insurance or extra upkeep due to weather exposure.
We’ve helped many clients move into waterfront homes and understand the added planning and care needed for these types of moves.
Inland areas offer more space, privacy, and generally more affordable housing. These neighborhoods also avoid many of the issues tied to coastal weather, and they often provide easier parking and access.
Whether you’re moving into a compact home or a larger property with land, we adjust our services to match the location and what’s needed for a smooth move.

We are so grateful to Murphy Moving for a flawless move. We have used Murphy three other times, and we will happily use them again for any future moves. Len and Lisa were super helpful on the front end in providing a quote, scheduling the move, giving us suggestions, and answering all of our questions. They checked in throughout the process to make sure all was going well. Our movers, Marcelo and Fillipe, were amazing. They encountered more than a few challenges with multiple stairs, and lots of tight turns in narrow hallways. Their attitudes were very pleasant throughout and all of our belongings were handled with much care. They did a great job!
There aren't enough compliments to give Murphy Moving and Storage! In summary, the patient and caring guidance from Geraldine, the continual communication and support from Kyla , the safe long term storage, and the very remarkable moving skills and talent by Beto and his team made our (four month) moving experience an absolute pleasure. We valued our trusting relationship and are happy for future families who will be in their very personal and highly professional care. Thank you over and again Murphy Moving and Storage. We wouldn't be where we are without you!

Geraldine, Kyla and Beto and his team of movers were all very personable and professional. They maintained excellent communication with us throughout our moving process. They made a very stressful situation pleasant and enjoyable. We felt so comfortable with Geraldine when she visited our home for the inventory and offered suggestions and encouragement for preparing to move. Kyla was in frequent communication and so patient with editing my changing inventory and arranging a schedule for pick up. Beto and his team of movers were friendly while remaining focused on their individual tasks and their teamwork was remarkable. They wrapped each piece of furniture so well and treated each piece of furniture and every carton as if it were a precious jewel, not to mention how well they arranged the pieces for safe transportation in the moving van.
