Bridgeport: Grand River community straddling the Kitchener-Waterloo border
Bridgeport sits along the Grand River just north of the city proper, straddling the Kitchener-Waterloo border. The neighbourhood is divided into three sub-areas — Bridgeport North, East, and West — each with its own personality, but all sharing the same defining quality: the Grand River winds picturesquely through and around the community, shaping its feel at every turn.
Housing ranges from century-old homes and post-war bungalows to newer upscale builds, particularly as you move north. Bridgeport is known for its tight-knit community and the iconic white stone Bridge Street bridge — a beloved neighbourhood landmark.
Schools
Public elementary students attend Bridgeport Public School for JK through Grade 6, then Margaret Avenue Senior Public School for Grades 7 and 8, before heading to Bluevale Collegiate Institute for high school. Catholic students attend St. Matthew Catholic Elementary School or St. Teresa Catholic Elementary School, followed by St. David Catholic Secondary School.
School catchment for any address being considered should be confirmed directly with the applicable school boards. See our school finder for more local school information in Bridgeport.
