Before visiting the Bristol estate agents, consider what facilities you need nearby your new home in Bristol. The city is bustling, vibrant and well served by its public services so no matter where you are, and Bristol will be able to cater for any new tenant.

For Families

There are nearly 200 primary and secondary schools to choose from which should leave you with no shortage of choices when moving in. There are many linked schools for when your children move up a year too, eliminating the headaches of applying for further schools.

For very young children, there are plenty of nurseries and specialist learning centres should you need the extra support.

The cinema at Cabot Circus and the city libraries offer opportunities for children and families to have a bit more relaxation away from the new home.

For Students

The University of West England and Wessex bus companies run a joint service running across campuses regularly throughout the day and even into some of the weekend. So there is never an excuse to miss a lecture.

Night buses (or night flyers) operate on Friday and Saturday nights for £2.50 from midnight until 6am so you can get home after a late night out in the city centre.

Considering Bristol boasts music, multimedia and performance venues; art galleries; museums; parks and open spaces; historic buildings and places to relax, walks and cycles – you shouldn’t be lost for ideas during the day time either.

For Shopping

The regeneration of the city centre and Habourside has contributed towards a city full of cultural attractions and limitless options to eat and drink.

Your familiar high-street shopping experience can be found at Broadmead whilst more stylish brands can be found in the £500m Cabot Circus development.

Niche items or gifts can be found in Park Street, Whiteladies Road, Gloucester Road, Clifton Village and the historic St Nicholas Market. The city claims to have the most independent shops in the world, so they’ll be no shortage of treats.

Accessibility and Travel

The city centre can be busy in the mornings with a one-way system, but the train stations offer another opportunity for those who want to commute easily if they live outside of walking distance.

Bristol Temple Meads and Parkway are the most central stations, but a bus ride to city is also advisable.
There is also a park and ride scheme available in Parkway, Bath Road and Long Aston.

If you want to get away from home for a short-break, then Bristol offers lots of opportunities. Some stunning landscapes are to be found within miles of the city. Head South-West to come across Stonehenge and Somerset, and Devon – which boasts some of the best coastlines in the UK. To the north, Wales is easily accessible across the Severn Bridge to Cardiff.
