Stamford has an impressive number of corporate headquarters -- three are 2018 Fortune 500 companies and eight are Fortune 1000 companies. The concentration of corporate headquarters is unrivaled in the state and represents an uncommon achievement for a city of its size. Stamford is a city rich in cultural diversity that features a rapidly growing tech startup community, a strong healthcare system, a top-tier school system, an unemployment rate well below the federal and state level, and a residential community with options for all ages and income levels. Stamford is often called the "Gateway to Connecticut" given its proximity to New York City with Metro North express trains to Grand Central in 48 minutes. Amtrak Acela Express trains run to Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC, Newark International Airport, and Providence. This connectivity has allowed Stamford to break the "commuter city" stigma and allows people to commute both to and from Manhattan, New Haven, Greenwich, and Westchester NY.
