I had a virtual tour a while back and I must say vela is absolutely beautiful! The apartments are very bright and spacious. Andre was my agent and he was super helpful and professional! Can’t wait to lease at Vela when I make my move to CT!

New Management sucks. Sure they have a few more events but they raised rent, are horrible to deal with, they are never there. All we ever get are notices that oh no, we don't have your insurance or this or that, well it is the same, nothing has changed, do you job. I lived there for 2 years and they tried to tow my car. Nope. Good thing we are moving soon. This place is bad.

My wife and I stayed here for about 7 months while we were in town for work. The apartment complex was clean and safe, with a mix of young professionals and some older retirees (It seems like). I didn't have any issues, any maintenance problems were fixed quickly, when I moved in I had some cosmetic damage to my fridge and microwave and they offered to replace them without me asking. The concierge's, while we did have a couple come and go while I lived there were all great. Shout out to Milo. I would personally rate my experience on the building and staff as 5/5.I give 4/5, because on multiple occasions the 66 Summer apartments residents would take my parking spot in the shared garage (get a traffic cone to fix that) and if you are on a lower floor facing Washington Blvd. it can get loud due to locals that think they need to race down the road or blast their music from their car parked at Columbus Park. If there is one place that needs some speed bumps (permanent or temporary) its Washington Blvd. People will circle around Mill River driving as fast as they can late at night with loud exhaust because they think its cool.Positives: Lots of shopping and food nearby. 10 minute walk to the train station. Clean. Always stuff to do. Relatively safe compared to the majority of places in the US. Public transportation is good.Negatives: Traffic is loud and busy. Most likely need to drive for groceries (or have them delivered) as Target is very limited on fresh food and its only groceries available in walking distance.

Intransigent leasing office, don’t waste your time. Plenty of better options around with friendly staff

Made an appointment to see these apartments. Showed up after an hour drive to be informed that the leasing manager had left for the day and that we would have to reschedule. The leasing manager then claimed he was there until our appointment time which was verifiably false. Incredibly unprofessional. Leasers beware.

Wonderful modern and clean apartment, courteous staff, perfect location on downtown with wide-open windows with a splendid view! We are facing westward and love watching sunset.Edit: It was nice until new management, after exuberant they still added $100 for parking. Now there are so many random charges that don't seem to go away.

Fire alarm is going off constantly. They tested the alarms all day Monday and I hoped that would be the end it. NOPE, fire alarm goes off at 12:30am on Thursday night/Friday morning for over an hour! Happy Friday to me thanks Vela

Being in real estate I have seen most of the high end apartment buildings in Stamford. Although I have not placed a client in the Vela I wanted to mention that the staff left an impression on my clients and myself during my last tour. Jazmin M. stood out from all of the leasing agents we dealt with that day. Absolutely made the tour a great experience. Friendly and helpful is an understatement. I will start at the Vela every time now.

Vela is a wonderful place to live. The building is designed nicely, very well maintained and it’s location makes it such a convenient place to live. Above all, the support staff is always available and maintains a great standard. Milo’s presence at the front desk offers a nice feeling of security and he is swift in offering aid to whatever you might need. Josh is also a pleasure, as his smile and attitude are encouraging and contagious. My wife and I would recommend Vela to anyone debating moving to downtown Stamford.

My wife and I have been at Vela on the Park going on 4 years now. It has been a great place to live. The apartments are well designed. The maintenance staff lead by Marco is terrific. And the leasing agents are friendly and helpful whenever you need them. We recently switched to another apartment. Mario and Dazhia were helpful but wanted to single out Jazmin Mejia who spearhead all the details of our move. She' s terrific. John T.

My favorite thing about this building is Milo, our concierge! He is friendly, helpful and is an asset to Vela on the Park. Thanks for all that you do Milo! We appreciate you!The building is under new management and they are way better! They offer so many different events to make it a community and and handle building issues promptly! Keep up the good work!

The apartments here “look” nice, but I wonder about the structural integrity of the building. Living here, I’ve experienced no heat in the middle of winter for several days, a power outage, and fire alarms - every few weeks! Management isn’t transparent about the cause of these constant issues. If you move here, request a low floor because you’ll be going up and down the stairs a lot. I’d be able to brush most of this aside if the apartments were affordable, but the rent here is way too high to be experiencing these issues. I feel like I’m wasting my money. Looking forward to moving out.

Milo has been the longest standing concierge during my time. He has always been helpful, friendly and a class act. He also followed through on anything he told me he would do. Exceptional service.
