6 Reviews & Comments About Bridgeport
I'm from Bridgeport and it's s**t city. Nothing but potholes and foreclosed f****d up ugly houses. That's if you're on the East side of the city. The west side is a lot better it's not that s****y, though it needs to be fixed up a bit. I hate Bridgeport and I don't understand why my family still lives there. However, Standford is nice and Fairfield - Blackrock area. Westport is great and Trumbull is okay too. If you know somebody and want to hang out expect house parties. Lot and lots of house parties.
Still doesn't explain why Bridgeport has the highest property taxes in the state. I have a love/hate relationship with my state. I live in a nice area that's filled with crappy, plastic people.
I lived in Bridgeport for so many years and both my parents had good jobs and we lived in a good a*s house and we had the biggest front and backyard on the whole block
High crime, high taxes. Full of a*****le dems and crackheads.
Don't walk the streets after dark.
Bridgeport is a country club compared to New York city! I was afforded the opportunity to buy a home in Lake Forest Bridgeport CT. My children won a lottery and went to Westport Schools because I lived in Bridgeport. Both of my children and I went to Housatonic Community college in But and went to University of Bridgeport. I have many friends who are police officers, teacher, public works employees in Bridgeport.
Lake Forest is a hidden Gem in this City. North end is a very nice area in Bridgeport, all areas of Bridgeport are being revitalized. Bridgeport Hospital, St Vncents Hospital ae wonderful and they are in my City. Seaside a beautiful beach and Park!
This is a city full of culture and arts!We have areas in need of more work than others this is true but we are a far cry from being one the 10 worst places to live in. Where do you live- must be heaven!
I'm from Bridgeport and yes our taxes are high but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Bridgeport is improving for the better no matter what you think.
Where else in Connecticut can you enjoy the zoo, the beach, multiple parks, free outdoor music every week in the summer,out door movie nights, arts festivals, vibes, the theater, catch the ferry and so much more!!!! I am tired of everyone talking about Bridgeport, there are worst places to live.
