Community Lifestyles

Bridgeport residents have a range of backgrounds, and work in a range of professions, from industrial manufacturing to agriculture to construction to retail. In many ways, Bridgeport is a typical mid-Michigan community, balancing urban, suburban and rural environments.

Passers by may only see the freeway exit, but you don't have to look hard to find nature, too. Every Bridgeport resident has encountered the deer, wild turkey and other wildlife in the area. The natural environment is a big part of Bridgeport life.

Shopping adds another dimension to Bridgeport's unique character. In the main shopping area near the freeway exit, for example, you can find an upscale Hallmark Store just a few doors down from a Dollar Store. In the same mall, there is a Chinese restaurant and a Korean Tae Kwon Do gym and training center. There's also a Kroger grocery store and a Rent-All store.
