The Chicago River makes up the Bridgeport neighborhood's north and west boundaries. To the south is Pershing Road and to the East is Canal Street. This neighborhood developed as a result of construction on the Illinois and Michigan Canal in the early 19th century. Today, this area is famously known for being home to 5 of Chicago's mayors. Housing options here in Bridgeport, just south of the city's loop, include newly constructed townhomes and the rehabbed older homes, both drawing residents to the area.
