Neighborhood

The centrally-located neighborhood known as the Hollow puts you within walking distance of downtown Bridgeport, which sits half a mile east. Cultural entertainment and nightlife abound, making it easy to catch a play or live music on a whim.

Pick up a meaty Brazilian feast at Pantanal on Frank Street, and enjoy your meal while watching renditions of "Hairspray" or "Frosty the Snowman" at Downtown Cabaret Theatre, a BYO venue on Golden Hill Street. Every year, creative minds gather at the nearby city center for the Bridgeport Arts Fest.

Once a haven for Bridgeport's industrial workforce, the Hollow's dense residential streets contain remnants of 19th-century architecture, ranging from Federal to Gothic to Greek Revival. The Hollow houses the city's oldest urban neighborhood, Sterling Hill Historic District, where buildings dating as far back as the 1820s now serve as multi-unit rental apartments.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
