Review of Bristol, Connecticut


Revitalization of Downtown Bristol
Star Rating - 12/1/2013
I moved to Bristol in 2003 to purchase a mid-size one family home. Bristol has a great deal of history to it...from clock making (we have the American Clock Museum), a Carousel Museum and ESPN HQs. The Federal Hill area has beautiful vintage homes. However, what really makes Bristol great is it's citizens and desire to embrace culture. 4 or so years ago, we have engaged a developer, Renaissance Downtowns, who is helping us revitalize our downtown area with a living/working/entertaining walking area. The development is based on input from all citizens of Bristol and we now have approx 3,000 members in our Bristol Rising! community. We have met the most wonderful people in our town and the community spirit is always there! It's really a very nice place to live.
