Hey folks, I'm originally from Minneapolis and With a population of 2,005, Bristol is a small town. Homes are going for about $298,200 on average. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Is this normal for Bristol? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The city has invested a lot in new development.

I'm a sales manager and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. The community is pretty good and there's always something going on.

We moved here with our family and it's exactly what I was looking for. Schools in Cedar Grove area are challenging. Kids love it here.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are pretty good, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Pittsburgh, I was surprised by safety. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Decent public transit for the size
- The outdoor recreation scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for couples. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
