Established suburb with natural attractions

Bridgeport is often called the Park City because of its 35 public parks, and North Bridgeport lives up to the name with its expansive green spaces located about 65 miles northeast of New York City. “A lot of my clients move here from New York,” says Grace Danek-Medynska, a Broker at Danek Real Estate Services who has been selling homes in the area for over 25 years. “People like the parks and the zoo, and they prefer to live in a quiet area and commute to the city.” Located minutes from Beardsley Park and Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo, the community offers suburban living with proximity to outdoor recreation, public transportation and major thoroughfares such as Interstate 95.
