Bridgeport, OH

Bridgeport sits right on the Ohio River, directly across the water from Wheeling, West Virginia. The village got its start back in the early 1800s as a river crossing, and that convenient location remains one of its biggest perks today. Living here gives you a quiet Belmont County setting where you can enjoy small-town living while staying just a couple of minutes from downtown Wheeling’s jobs, restaurants, and entertainment.
