Characteristics

Transportation

This part of the city will attract property owners that use different means of transportation. Owing to Bridgeport on the Waterbury and New Haven, and around 10 nearby bus lines, the transit infrastructure in this area is rather convenient. This neighborhood is also a fairly convenient part of Bridgeport for pedestrians; most daily needs are convenient to meet without needing a vehicle, and various businesses are moderately close by. Biking is at times difficult in Enterprise Zone because the area is not particularly flat, and the bicycling infrastructure is somewhat poor.

Primary as well as high schools are convenient to reach as a pedestrian from anywhere in Enterprise Zone. In addition to public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools. With respect to eating, a general and a specialty grocery store is always only a very short trip away in this neighborhood. Furthermore, those who enjoy dining out won't have to travel far in Enterprise Zone, where over 100 restaurants and a few coffee shops are available, for instance along Main Street.

Character

Enterprise Zone offers a variety of experiences for home buyers who enjoy a vibrant atmosphere and spending time outdoors. Even though the ambience is not the liveliest in this part of Bridgeport, its busier streets can still be quite dynamic, and with the nightlife venues in nearby neighborhoods, it is very easy to find a place to grab a drink as they are generally located around the corner. However, most locations in the neighborhood have fairly good access to public green spaces, such as Glenwood Park, since there are about 20 of them close by for residents to relax in.
