Bridgeport
Bridgeport Living
Located on Chicago's South Side, Bridgeport is the birthplace of five Chicago mayors and the home of the Chicago White Sox. But that’s only part of its story.
Bridgeport has become a thriving artists' community with multiple galleries, the Zhou B Art Center and neighborhood art festivals. The Bridgeport Art Center, occupying the former 500,000-square-foot Spiegel Catalog Warehouse, provides a stunning creative space with incredible views for artists and events.
For the sports-minded, the excitement of a Major League Baseball game is right up the street when the White Sox play at Guaranteed Rate Field. Getting to the ballpark is as easy as taking the Red Line, which is located along the eastern side of the community.
As a Bridgeport Resident
Bridgeport Style
Today, the close-knit neighborhood is experiencing a renaissance of sorts. In recent years, residential developers have jumped on opportunities to convert older warehouses and manufacturing plants into loft homes. In addition to converted warehouses, new construction single-family homes and three-flat walk-up condominiums are springing up alongside Bridgeport’s historic bungalows.
The Area
Public Transportation: Chicago’s busiest route, the Red Line is great for getting around to the north & south sides of Chicago & for getting into the Loop. Serving the Southwest Side, the Orange line is great for getting from the Loop to Midway Airport.
Highway Access: Bound by both I-55 and I-90, highway access is typically a breeze.
Other Perks: Guaranteed Rate Field (Home of the Chicago White Sox)
