What are the best places to live in Bristol?

After a lot of saving, my family and I plan to buy our first house. We’re currently renting in Hartford, Connecticut, and would like a house in a more suburban area like Bristol. The problem is, I’m not sure which neighborhood would be a good fit for us. What is the best place to live in Bristol, CT?

Congrats in advance! The best places to live in
Bristol
are a unique amalgamation of farmlands, suburbs, and historic areas.
Let’s look at some of Bristol,
Connecticut’s
most desirable neighborhoods:
  • Chippens Hill: Once an agricultural hub of the city, development in the 1990s made this neighborhood a suburban dream. Chippens Hill is filled with sizeable homes that also come with spacious yards.
  • Forestville: This is a small historic district of the city that borders nearby towns Plainville and Farmington. Between the Victorian-era houses, local library, and independently owned restaurants, Forestville is a peaceful place to call home.
  • Federal Hill: Close to downtown and home to the largest historic area of Bristol, Federal Hill mixes downtown happenings with ornate homes—some of which date back to the 18th century.
  • Cedar Lake: Nature lovers can get their fill in Cedar Lake. This mid-sized, scenic lake is home to both full-time residents and seasonal lake house dwellers.
