A Bridgeport neighborhood bisected by Route 1
A small neighborhood with a calm atmosphere bisected by Route 1, The Boston Ave – Mill Hill neighborhood offers historic homes that are walking distance from downtown Bridgeport. The area is split between multi-family and single-family housing and is a community where residents have lived for generations. Local homes are also a quick walk away from popular local parks and public schools for students. Shopping and dining are abundant along Boston Avenue and East Main Street, and locals are close to Bridgeport Hospital, one of the larger employers in the area. “Everything is within walking distance to stores,” says Luis Rodriguez, a Bridgeport resident who has lived in the area for many years.
Bridgeport is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Connecticut.
Bridgeport Hospital is was rated by U.S. News & World Report as #1 in Bridgeport.

A Bridgeport community sporting two popular roads
Boston Avenue, part of the neighborhood's namesake, is the main thoroughfare that residents use. Whether by car or using one of the multiple Greater Bridgeport Transit bus stations on the road, daily commutes to downtown Bridgeport or New Haven are necessary for many residents. There is also “a lot of walking traffic,” Rodriguez says, in terms of exercise and errand running. New Haven is also home to the Tweed New Haven Airport, which is 20 miles to the east for trips unreachable by public transportation. Much closer to home is the Bridgeport Hospital, which specializes in geriatric care as well as trauma and burn care.

Multi-family and single-family Bridgeport housing
The neighborhood’s northern streets are primarily lined with multi-family housing. Single-family and duplex Cape Cods and colonial revivals occupy most of the space on the southern side of Boston Avenue. Many of the homes are duplexes and triplexes that line the streets, as well as condos and townhouses. Many residences are wood or vinyl-paneled and were constructed between the early to mid-1900s, with some homes being built as early as the 1880s. The neighborhood has a common theme of colonial revival and Foursquare style homes, with prices ranging from around $70,000 to $530,000.

Shopping along and at Stratford Plaza
Frankie’s Diner, which features classic American diner fare, from pancakes and club sandwiches to a local special, has “been here for a long time” and “is very well known in Bridgeport,” Rodriguez says. Locals can also head to nearby Massimo Pizzeria Ristorante, which provides delicious food and community support, often offering events and partnerships to help Bridgeport. Grocery needs can be addressed at Farhan Deli & Grocery on Palisade Avenue or the CTown Supermarkets on Boston Avenue. The closest Walmart is 2.6 miles to the east on Barnum Avenue for all daily needs.

Playsets and fields in “Park City”
Locals can always find a place to relax at the local Success Park, ringed by trees and open to the sun. It is a very calm park full of open space that residents frequent on weekends when the weather is comfortable. Manila Street Playground sits on the neighborhood's northern end and offers a playground and a smaller open field, a popular spot for after-school fun and games. Residents are close to Clover Field, also known as Janosko Park, which offers two baseball diamonds and tennis courts. The city also works very hard on the upkeep and maintenance of its parks, which is why “Bridgeport is known as Park City,” Rodriguez says.

Bridgeport Public Schools
The area’s youngest students can choose to attend either Hall Elementary School or Edison Elementary School, both of which receive a C-minus rating from Niche and are within walking distance of residences.

Since 1948, the yearly Barnum Festival celebrates, supports & enriches Bridgeport through philanthropy & family-friendly events, ranging from the Concert Carnival & Food Truck Festival to a car show. The Bridgeport area also has three large parades throughout the year, including the Puerto Rican Parade, the Juneteenth Parade and the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade, which helps “bring the community together and highlight the local cultures in the city,” Rodriguez says, “I am all about the bright colors and enthusiasm from both the crowd and the volunteers.”
