Bristol - where to live?

[EmeraldAquaWildlings]

Husband and I are looking to move to Bristol with our young family (1 and 3) after having lived abroad for the last decade. Reasons for Bristol are: friends, proximity to nature while still being in a city. We have a decent budget, but can’t quite decide on where to narrow our search. We want someone “nice”, but concerned that the likes of Clifton, Westbury on Trym, Redlands etc may be a bit of a bubble. We want to be able to access all the entertainment (music, restaurants etc) that Bristol has to offer reasonably easily. Is there somewhere close to the centre that is nicely gentrified but hasn’t yet moved into the bracket of being a bit snooty? Or am I being unfair on those areas I previously listed?

I would defo look at schools and make
a decision based on that- move close to the school you really want your kids to go to!

I’ve just sold my late parents house in Victoria Park - Bedminster right opposite the park so in a fab location
it sold within 2 days for 30k over the asking price and it needed 50k worth of work doing to it .
House prices are absolutely bat shit crazy in Bristol at the moment

This outline is really helpful i.e. places to live
in Bristol. My partner is really into the idea of moving there and the fact I’m even thinking of it is something. Dyed in the wool Londoner. We’ve visited Bishopston and St. Werburghs. Good places to look at North of the river.

Hi @Suprima
What are the suburbs you are talking about. We love in Montpelier area of Brighton,moving to Bristol but defo want to live in the middle class bubble like we are now.
Looking for areas with bog standard shops ,some cafes, parks, schools etc.
