Bristol, RI Real Estate

Welcome to Bristol, Rhode Island, a historic harbor town on a peninsula between Narragansett Bay and Mount Hope Bay. Home to about 22,000 residents, Bristol pairs classic New England character with a lively waterfront, and sits an easy drive from Providence, Newport and the rest of the East Bay.

Bristol is famous for hosting the oldest continuous Fourth of July celebration in the country, dating back to 1785, and the red, white and blue center line on Hope Street shows that patriotic spirit all year long. Downtown, Hope Street and Thames Street are lined with restored colonial and Federal-style homes, local shops, galleries and restaurants, many with views of Bristol Harbor.

Outdoor living is a big part of life here. Colt State Park offers miles of shoreline paths, open lawns and picnic areas along the bay, and the East Bay Bike Path runs from Bristol all the way to Providence. Blithewold Mansion, Gardens and Arboretum, Linden Place and the Herreshoff Marine Museum celebrate the town's history and its deep sailing and boatbuilding roots, and Roger Williams University adds cultural events and energy to the community.

Homes in Bristol range from historic in-town properties and waterfront homes to capes, ranches, colonials and condominiums in quiet residential neighborhoods. With its walkable downtown, harbor views and easy access to Aquidneck Island over the Mount Hope Bridge, Bristol is a wonderful place to put down roots, find a second home or invest in coastal Rhode Island.
