I love my town of Bristol. It's small, safe, beautiful, and has just enough things located around it. I grew up here and I think it's an amazing place to raise kids and a family and I wouldn't change a thing about it. The only downfall is the lack of diversity and experience growing up in such a small town. I wish I was able to not be so sheltered and constantly surrounded by the same people. But that is most small towns and Bristol is the best town I could've been raised in.
I like Bristol because of its safety and commute time. Since it is a small town, it only takes around 20 minutes to go from end to end. The size of the town correlates with the safety because the population is low with few attractions. Surrounding areas like Newport have more attractions but also have a significantly higher crime rate. I would like Bristol to have more attractions such as shops or amusement but it would also not be as safe.
Bristol is an amazing town, in fact the only town I would live in in RI. I has the most festivities especially around the 4th of July. I am so grateful to live in this little town in the smallest state. Growing up in Bristol has given me a great perspective on life. It is very safe, the schools are great its very family friendly!
