The East Side of Stamford, Connecticut is a neighborhood of mostly modest homes in southern part of the city.
The East Side is east of Downtown, north of Shippan north and west of The Cove and south of Glenbrook. It is mostly to the south of Interstate 95 but covers both sides of East Main Street (U.S. Route 1).
When the Stamford city government revised its master plan for development in 1999-2002 the East Side was considered together with the Cove as one neighborhood.
The East Side Partnership was founded in 2002 to support community development. A Neighborhood Steering Committee of that group helped promote clean-up projects. The partnership also hired an outreach worker to help local day laborers who wait near the Exit 7 interchange, looking for work. A foundation was set up for students at the Rogers School to help them buy book bags and other school supplies. More restaurants and stores opened and new construction started along East Main Street in 2005 and 2006.
