A neighborhood on the move in Bridgeport

Located on Long Island Sound, the East End offers a blend of coastal views and urban convenience. “It’s on the move,” says Ernest Newton, councilman for the 139th district since 2017, which covers East End, and president pro tempore for the city council who has spent most of his life in East End. “It’s always been on the move, but we are in the process of making things happen.” East End has several plans and projects in place to help the community grow, including creating a new city block that will contain a grocery store, pharmacy and bank. “We’ve had 20 years without certain things that make a community a community,” says Newton. “We are working to make the area self-sufficient.” The East End NRZ Market and Café, incorporated in 2019, is only one example of how the neighborhood has grown.

Colonial Revival single and multi-family homes

Most of the neighborhood consists of renters, with two or three-family Colonial Revival-styles the most common. The streets are laid out in a grid-like pattern with sidewalks flush against the road. There are garages and driveways, but street parking is also common throughout. A three-family Colonial Revival-style home is often divided between the first, second and third floors as units for tenants. These multi-family homes can sometimes feel stitched together, with a converted porch on the second floor acting as another room or an additional level created out of an attic space for a third floor. For a three-family, prices often range from $360,000 to $649,000 for investors. For a two-family home, prices range from $210,000 to $550,000. And although it is more rare, single family homes, often either Colonial Revival or Cape Cod styles, range from $212,000 to $375,000. Co-Op homes, where residents can own part of the housing complex, range in price from $20,000 to $97,000 and have monthly homeowner association fees as well. “The Habitat for Humanity of Coastal Fairfield County has been putting up lots of homes.” Newton says. A newer condo recently sold for $300,000.

Single-family homes, while rare in East End, range from $212,500 to $375,000.

Interstate 95 and two bus routes

Interstate 95, which stretches across the east coast of the United States, crosses through East End. Residents can also use the Metro-North Railroad to reach New York City and other sections of Connecticut. The Greater Bridgeport Transit has two bus roues in East End. Route 10 follows Connecticut and Stratford Avenue while Route 13 reaches the coastal streets on Newfield before heading north and leaving the neighborhood. “We are also working on creating public access to the waterfront,” says Newton. “We’ve never had that connection, as long as I can remember.” The Bridgeport Hospital is just north of the neighborhood.

Fresh produce and Jamaican food

The East End NRZ Market and Café is dedicated to helping residents access fresh produce and has a small café. The Blessed Sacrament Church has a food pantry open every Thursday—except the first one of each month. There are also a few corner convenience stores scattered throughout the neighborhood. Along Barnum Avenue, Frankie’s Diner is open 24 hours on Fridays and Saturdays, and serves classic diner fare like Phill Steak omelets, pancakes and burgers. On Stratford Avenue, CJ’s Jerk Center sells Jamaican food with jerk pork and chicken alongside Krazy Kream, another Jamaican restaurant, and Anna B’s Soulfood. The Baldwin Plaza Shopping Center is about a mile and half away in downtown Bridgeport and has cosmetic stores and men clothing stores.

Oak stump struck by lightning, cricket nearby and a public beach

A lone white oak tree stood in Johnson Oak Park for over 500 years until a lightning strike in 1978 hit the tree and it had to be cut down. Today, residents can sit around the stump of the tree or run through the playgrounds and green spaces. Newfield Park has facilities to play tennis and handball or let the children cool off in the splash area. The park is also used to play cricket by the Bridgeport Cricket Club. Pleasure Beach is open from the Fourth of July weekend through Labor Day and is accessed by a free water taxi, provided by the city of Bridgeport.

Newfield Park in East End has a playground, horseshoe pits, and tennis & basketball courts.
