Bridgeton Warnings Or Dangers

Bridgeton is a gorgeous town, but like many historic towns throughout our country it has its areas within the town which are still in transition. So, I would recommend sticking with the truly residential parts of the town located on West Commerce Street and those neighborhoods tucked in behind it following alongside of the city park.

Many visitors enter Bridgeton from one of its main roads, Route 77 (Pearl Street). This is definitely an area in transition. In fact, many travelers may get 'turned off' by Bridgeton just by passing through it. However, if you take a right onto West Commerce Street you will enter the downtown. Not much in terms of shoppes but it is an example of what a Victorian era downtown once looked like...so many of the original buildings are in tact. It will be gorgeous once it has come into its own.

Continue traveling westward on Commerce Street and you will enter the residential portion of the historic district. Many visitors to this town are usually quite shocked to learn that they can puchase a Victorian mansion for under $400,000.
