I would take an one million dollar ranch in Greenwich any day over a million dollar house in North Stamford. Besides simple economics the address is much nicer.

I guess SOME people prefer a poor quality product (POS) with a fancy label (Greenwich) rather than a quality product with a lesser brand name (Stamford).

We’ve really debated which area to settle in. Obviously, we think Greenwich is a nicer community, but I guess a lot depends on your near neighbours.

Seriously, just for a Greenwich address? Please? Go over to North Stamford, buy a beautiful 4,000+ sq ft house with an acre for that kind of money. I just dont see it. If you can’t afford to really be in Greenwich, 2mm+, dont pay the premium. The money you save on the house will pay for your kids better education in the private schools.

Last I saw that house..almost 12 months ago, the downstairs was covered in mold with water leaking/running in several places.
Builder/owner was arrested by the Town recently for continuing to work without a permit.
He removed his 2 kids from the house first, settled with his wife for a few hundred grand, sent her back to the old sod in a mess, does a quick fixer-up and hey presto its worth $1.2M.
I would do a REAL GOOD inspection of the premises.
