What does "Cheap" mean for Apartment rentals in Bridgeport, CT?

Cheap is a relative term to communicate more "affordable" rental and living expenses. Although a property might be found within the "Cheap Apartments" search, does not mean it is a low-quality rental. These more affordable apartments are also relative to the other apartment inventory within Bridgeport. Some areas will be cheaper than others and based on demand, rent will fluctuate.

How to search for Cheap Apartments in Bridgeport, CT?

When searching on HotPads for more affordable apartments, use the "Sort:" feature to sort apartments by Lowest Price for Bridgeport. Additionally, set a max price for your search and select "Save search" to be notified in real-time when "cheaper" apartments come on the market.

What are some additional tips for securing a "cheaper" apartment?

Although a larger multi-tenant building is less likely to negotiate rental terms there are a few things that don't hurt to try, including:

Offer to sign a longer lease for lowered monthly rent

Ask about becoming an onsite property manager
Educate yourself regarding the apartment rental market and market rates in Bridgeport. Knowing this will help you accurately negotiate fair rent.

About Bridgeport

Area Information

Bridgeport is the largest city in Connecticut, with a population of over 147,000. Located on the coast, it's halfway between Stamford and New Haven, and 55 miles from midtown Manhattan, New York. The Merritt Parkway, I-95 and Route 8 put the city within easy reach of much of the northeast. Metro-North trains stop regularly just over the town line in Fairfield, taking riders to New York City in 80 minutes. Catch Amtrak in the center of town to get to Boston, Massachusetts, in three hours. A ferry goes to Port Jefferson, on the north coast of Long Island.

Bridgeport's down-and-out reputation is somewhat outdated. While some areas are a bit depressed, the walkable downtown has been revitalized in recent years and new residents are moving in. Affordable rents and good transit connections are a draw. The 2010 census revealed that the population increased (3-4%) for the first time in decades. Neighborhoods in Bridgeport's southwestern corner, Black Rock and St. Mary's, are wealthier than the rest of the city. These leafy enclaves feature Craftsman bungalows and Capes with well-kept lawns and a hint of saltwater in the air. Though beaches are privately owned, there's a popular waterfront park with a view of Long Island in the distance.

Renting an apartment in Bridgeport gives you access to New England's many desirable destinations. Coastal escapes within 125 miles include Newport and Block Island in Rhode Island, Narragansett Bay, and Mystic. Block Island is accessible by ferry. To the north is the rugged Mohawk State Forest and, beyond that, the Berkshires and Vermont's Green Mountains.

Renting in Bridgeport, CT

Apartments for rent in Bridgeport are more affordable than in many east coast cities, as the market is not too competitive. Because neighborhoods are varied and changing, it's a good idea to get to know the city before committing to a location.
