Bridgeport CT is pretty rough. Make sure you use an agent that understands the neighborhoods, or you may be the proud new owner of something not so great! 

"Bridgeport is the only city in Connecticut – and the broader New England region – to rank among the worst U.S. cities to live in. A relatively poor city, the typical household in Bridgeport earns just $44,841 a year, and more than one in every five city residents live below the poverty line. Those on the low end of the income spectrum in Bridgeport are strained further by the city's high cost of living. Goods and services in Bridgeport are 30.8 percent more expensive than the average nationwide."
