It might be a little noisy with the hospital nearby, and Harding High isn't far, so there will be some teenage shenanigans in the area, but otherwise, it's fine. It's far enough to the East.

People will clutch their pearls because its Bridgeport. Yes, there is crime higher than the rest of the State. Yes, the East End is rougher. You'll have kids fighting and do teen stuff around the high school.

Realistically, though, you need to be able to get to work, and you're likely on a budget. I worked in the local news for nearly a decade. North of the hospital was mostly car accidents on rt 1.

Look, as having lived in Bridgeport, some common sense and you'll be fine. Lock doors (home/car) and try to keep your car 100% free of valuables. Other than that, no different than anywhere else.
