Profit
Is an Airbnb in Bridgewater Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Bridgewater Airbnb took in $21,281 in the 12 months to May 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,170 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about $2,080 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,810 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,320 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,000 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any HOA or condo fees.

How Bridgewater's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bridgewater listings are booked on 63% or more of their nights, against 41% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $155 adds about $1,570 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $230 a night or more, against a median of $155. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about $1,950 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about $2,990, against $1,760 in December, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Bridgewater listings average 4.94 stars, and 80% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about $3,140 a month, against $1,770 for the average one.
