We are thinking of moving back to Bristol from the country. I have lived there before but not for a long time (12 years) and it was before children. Can anyone give me any help with which areas we might consider? We will be renting to start with but I have no idea where we could look in terms of OK houses, schools (state schools!) etc. I have lived in various parts of Bristol but have no idea what different areas are like now. Can anyone help or point me in the direction of somewhere that can? Is Southville/Bedminster still cheap-ish in renting terms? Any idea what we'd have to pay to rent a 3/4 bed house? We will probably visit in the next couple of weeks to look around some more but I thought I'd ask here first in case there are any Bristol mumsnetters! Also, does anyone fancy volunteering to send me the property section of the Evening Post so I can get an idea of prices and letting agents? If so, please email me at [email protected] Thanks in advance to anyone who can help, all and any advice welcome.

That round house is a blast from the past for me - I grew up not far from it. Just made me realise how long it's been since I've been back !

It is a nice house but it really needs redecorating and a womans touch inside, its a shame really

WWW: We are thinking of a move to Bristol from the countree ... are you glad you did it? We miss living in an area where there is some culture ... we are in hardcore farmer-land.

Would we be able to get a decent 3-bed Victorian terrace type place in the Horfield area for 250K?

I live on the outskirts, just moved from a fairly central location and I do love the city and the surrounding areas, it is such a convenient location. Anyway, I did a search and how does this grab you?

Hi mp, yes, I'm glad we did it, absolutely. Yes, you should get something decent for that, do CAT me if you want to know more!

Hi there, we've been looking at houses recently, having originated from there and yes I reckon you should get somewhere decent for that price. There's lots to look at over the net. We're hoping we might have found our new home just today!! Good luck/
