Resident here who moved in March 2023 so here's my review so far: Management: 5/5 Ben and Alex are both lovely. They take on leasing and property management and both are above average when it comes to folks you want to work with. Ben is extremely detailed and accountable - he will miss nothing! Alex is his manager and she is approachable and also very responsive. The units: 1/5 If you tour: The doors are made of cheap thin materials so touch them to make sure you're okay with it. Within the unit, sound travels through the hollow doors so if you're noise sensitive this may be an issue. The entrance door is also hollow and most noise in your unit will transmit into the hallway. Appliances are nice except for the dishwasher. Cheap brand, flimsy thin door and inside rack. Very loud when operating. ***If you have pets or kids*** your dog barking or kids crying can be heard down the hallway so if privacy is important this may be a deal breaker. You can clearly hear conversations from your neighbors as you walk the hallway. In our case, our neighbor complained so much about our 10 lbs. dog barking (when we would come home) that management moved him b/c he could hear it through his door from the hallway. I'm sure our toddler crying didn't help. While the walls are pretty solid, the ceiling is not. We can hear a child running on top of us all the time. We have a toddler so we understand but if people walking loudly or kids running bother you, this could also be an issue. Windows are filthy from the original construction with not only dirt but also black paint from messy exterior painting. Management said they would clean it but they are having a really hard time finding vendors to do this. We're still waiting to see clearly out our windows. Photo provided. My biggest pet peeve about the unit is the central air unit. The smallest room has the biggest vent and the biggest room has the smallest vent causing uneven cooling and heating. The air intake vent for the unit is also in the living room so in the winter and summer, it kicks on for us every 10-15 mins and the unit is so loud it's hard to watch tv so you're constantly adjusting the volume to hear what's going on and then it's too loud when the unit is off. Imagine watching a 3 hr movie at home and doing this. Amenity space: 3/5 They are beautiful, made for Instagram. Functionally speaking, the gym equipment was probably ordered by an design intern who never stepped foot in a gym. You want the core machines and it's not all there. The kids room is outright dangerous, please beware and have your hands on your kids at all times. The height of the structure is unnecessarily high, again probably designed by a designer who never had a kid or visited a playground. The floors are not padded so there's thin commercial carpet on cement. There's gaps at the top of the structure so if your child falls down, they will for sure need to go to the ER. The slide is so vertical, any child will fly to the floor. I've shared these safty concerns will management and we'll see if they will make improvements. ***If you are a remote worker*** I moved here b/c I'm remote and loved the idea of the individual meeting rooms and the 17th floor lounge to work. I'm a heavy user of zoom so I'm on video calls ALL DAY and the wifi at times cuts out and there's a 10 mins dead window. If you are presenting or can't disappear unannounced to your co-workers, this may not work for you. I'm still working with management to figure out how to fix this. Currently the wifi has been down for the past week. Also know there's about 4-5 apps you use to access the building and manage your living at the Smyth. My phone doesn't get cell service in the building so I'm dependent on the wifi to use these apps to do things like use the elevator or access my unit door. The wifi isn't always reachable or stable for my phone which can be stressful when you're trying to move within the building. These things would have been good for me to know when I moved here so I'll give another update in a few months.

I currently live here. Walls are thin.. no privacy. People walking by can hear our conversations. Dishwasher is like plastic and very very cheap.. we've called maintenance to fix it but they just left saying to put the tap handle towards the "hot" end. The worst thing about this building is the smoke detectors. I'm fed up of it. I can't even cook something in the damn air fryer without 4 detectors ( why is there so many??? God knows) going off simultaneously. No one actually comes to fix the issue..I mean I can't even boil water, use air fryer.. smoke alarm goes off and then I need to deal with my baby crying. This sucks. The one good thing about this building is the facilities. We get a great view from the 17th floor lounge.. yet they close ALL the blinds early in evening, for unclear reasons. Why??? Overall the building looks great.. but expecting simple things like being able to cook, a properly functioning dishwasher, privacy or even just enjoying the view from upstairs is not even possible. And to top it all off, the windows are filthy dirty. Should have rented elsewhere.

It has been such an incredible experience living at The Smyth. The amenities are amazing and allow for my wife and I to work remote and have plenty of office space. There is a 24/7 concierge that is always available to help in any way. The staff is super friendly and the maintenance crew was incredibly helpful when we moved in. The rooftop amenities are basically a 5-star private bar lounge with an amazing view of Stamford. The train is only a 5 minute walk so getting to the city is super easy. We love living here and we would recommend it to anyone looking to settle in Downtown Stamford!

Update: After 7 months at The Smyth, I just wanted to update my initial review. I am even happier here than I was at the start. This is the best place I've ever lived. The apartment is gorgeous, the build quality is high, I like my neighbors, the amenities are great, and the staff are fantastic. Having lived at other luxury apartments in Stamford, including one in Harbor Point that was less than 2 years old, it is common for the service quality from staff to decline as the building begins filling up. This has not been the case at The Smyth, despite its popularity. I recently submitted a request to replace the refrigerator water filter, and it was done within 24 hours. For something so minor to get that level of attention, it is an indication of the level of service quality The Smyth offers. From the leasing managers, to the maintenance staff, to the hard working people at the front desk, all of them are impressively good at their jobs and I've had the pleasure of getting to know several of them. These buildings are only as good as the people who work there, and the team members at The Smyth seem to genuinely enjoy what they do -- That makes me think this place is going to be good for a long time. As tenants, we are lucky to have them, and their attitude and good nature makes living here a pleasure. Initial Review: Just moved in. The place is nice and the people are even nicer. Jacqueline has been wonderful from the moment we met, and their head of maintenance (Victor) has done an amazing job getting the apartment in perfect working order with fast and accommodating turnarounds on our requests. So far so good! Very happy here.

"It’s been a week since we moved in and I can’t complain about anything! Friendly and responsive management, apartments are great and equipped with very good quality kitchen and appliances. Neighbors are also very friendly and respectful! Great place to live in Stamford!"

My husband and I love living at The Smyth! The office staff members are incredibly helpful and the building is extremely well-built. Very clean and beautifully decorated community spaces. 5 minute walk to the train station to get to New York City making for an easy commute. 5 stars all around!

From day 1, I have received 5 star services and response in any given matter. Enjoy living in this brand new apartment community. I like the regular events that are hosted allowing to meet neighbors and Infact great engagement from everyone too.

Fun place 💯💯💯 I've had a generally positive experience living here. The apartment itself is modern and well-maintained. The staff are friendly and responsive to maintenance requests. The community is quiet and neighbors are respectful.
