Historic homes near Bridgeport and Fairfield
When Bridgeport was a bustling industrial city in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, wealthy businessmen and entrepreneurs put down roots near the border between Bridgeport and Fairfield. Though the thriving industrial days are gone, many of the early 20th-century homes in Brooklawn-St. Vincent remain. “Brooklawn is known for its turn-of-the-century single-family homes. There are gracious homes along Park Avenue and Clinton Avenue that have an attention to detail and craftsmanship,” says John Hackett, broker of the John Hackett Team at William Raveis Real Estate, who was born and raised in Bridgeport. “Brooklawn is often the place people will look for a single-family starter home,” Hackett adds. Once referenced only as Brooklawn because of the Brooklawn Country Club, which was established for luxurious recreation in 1895, the neighborhood’s name now also refers to another neighborhood service: St. Vincent’s Medical Center. Today, a diverse array of local restaurants serves residents, but they can also drive under 5 miles to attend a concert downtown, catch a train headed to New York City or walk along the beach at Seaside Park.
20th century Colonial Revivals along tight streets
Gridded streets are packed with 20th-century traditional properties with small fenced-in yards. Many homebuyers look to Brooklawn-St. Vincent for its historic single-family properties, though there are some condos and multi-family buildings available as well. Condos from the mid-20th century cost between $140,000 and $260,000, while Cape Cods and traditional homes from the early-to-mid 1900s cost between $250,000 and $520,000. Large Tudor Revivals and Colonial Revivals from the early 20th century cost as much as $500,000, while investors can find multifamily residences for between $420,000 and $650,000. Notably, the Bridgeport Correctional Center, a high-security facility, sits in the southeastern portion of the neighborhood, at Madison Avenue and Beers Street.

Sandwiches and pastries from KiDelicia Bakery and Deli
The neighborhood has a diverse range of takeout eateries and dine-in options. Locals enjoy flavorful platters of Caribbean fare from Shandals Vegetarian Café or grab slices of New Haven-style pizza from Jenna’s Brick Oven Pizza. For an elevated evening out, residents choose Brasa Pub and Restaurant, a Portuguese eatery serving steak and seafood paella. For a sweet treat, locals can order Brazilian pastries and decorated cakes from KiDelicia Bakery and Deli. “People will walk to the convenience store down the street, but any other supermarket to a larger store is only a 10-minute drive, at most,” Hackett says. Residents can shop for groceries at the International Farmers Market or Key Food Supermarket or drive 3 miles north to shop at the Trumbull Mall, which has stores like Target, JC Penney and Bath & Body Works.
