Downtown Bristol Multifamily Homes & Duplexes for Sale

Downtown Bristol, located 20 miles outside Hartford, is experiencing a revitalization with new businesses and construction projects enhancing its walkability and community vibe. The neighborhood features a mix of homes dating from the late 1880s to the 2000s, including old-fashioned farmhouses converted into duplexes and triplexes, modest Cape Cods, and contemporary suburban styles. Approximately 65% of residents are renters, but there are also single-family homes available. The area is known for its highly rated Bristol Central High School and offers various things to do, such as visiting local museums, farmers' markets, and the Rockwell Theater. Dining options include Café Real, Parkside Café, and the newly opened Yellow King café and brewery, with more restaurants expected soon. Brackett Park provides basketball and tennis courts, while Rockwell Park offers a splash pad and pool. The Mum Festival, weekly farmers markets, and Lake Compounce Amusement and Water Park, located 3 miles away, are popular attractions. The Bristol Public Schools District is undergoing redistricting, set to complete by the 2025-26 school year, with students attending West Bristol, South Side, or Greene-Hills elementary schools, Chippens Hill Middle School, and Bristol Central High School. The town is accessible via State Route 6, with bus lines on major roads and the nearest CT Fastrak station 9 miles away. Residents benefit from local employment opportunities at ESPN headquarters and a growing healthcare industry.
