A quaint village within the city
Forestville is in southeast Bristol, just off the Route 72 extension. It’s home to the historic Forestville Station, a train depot that brought passengers to and from the neighborhood between when it was built in 1881 and when it shut down in 1960. Today, the restored station still stands on Central Street at the heart of Forestville. The neighborhood itself is also historic. It was established in 1833 and has remained true to its small-town New England roots. Locals today refer to the area as “a quaint village within a city,” a slogan that even appears on Forestville’s profile on the City of Bristol’s website. “That is very much an accurate description of this area,” says Mark Capsalors, a realtor with Select Realty Associates, who has been in the business for more than 40 years. “It’s a wonderful area. It feels like a small town, but it’s still close to everything Bristol has to offer, and there’s also easy access to Route 6 and Route 10,” he says.
Midcentury homes with great curb appeal
Prices here range from almost $230,000 for a two-bedroom Minimal Traditional-style cottage built in the early ‘40s to more than $600,000 for a four-bedroom Traditional-style new build. But Forestville’s median home price hovers around the $250,000 mark, just slightly under the median for Bristol. Like many New England neighborhoods, there are classic Colonial-style homes throughout Forestville, alongside new construction, cottages and Craftsman-style homes. Most homes have driveways, and many built after 1950 also have garages, so residents don’t park their cars directly on the street very often. And the market here is competitive. “Even with the rise in interest rates, we’re still seeing multiple offer situations in various price ranges,” says Capsalors. The residential streets here are quiet, often lined with colorful maple trees and towering oaks. While there are some sidewalks here and there, most of the well-maintained lawns here extend right to the street. Capsalors, who moved to Forestville recently, says even without consistent sidewalks, the area is walkable. “There are people out walking with their dogs and their families all the time. And they sit out front of their homes and wave as you go by, people are very friendly here,” he says.
Forestville has spacious family orientated neighborhood.

Bristol's best shops and dining options
In southeast Bristol, residents are spoiled for choice when it comes to shopping and dining options. On Forestville’s west side, at the corner of Middle Street and Mountain Road, there’s an Aldi. And at the north end, along Farmington Avenue between King Street and Camp, there’s tons of big box retail, from Walmart and Hobby Lobby to Burlington and Harbor Freight. In the little shopping center between Pine Street and the Bartlett Barnes Highway, closer to the east end of Forestville, there’s also a Stop & Shop. Less than a quarter mile across Pine Street, Bell City Diner offers casual, American-style comfort food. One Fifty Central, at the corner of Main Street and Central, is just half a mile north of the Stop & Shop. The casual, American-style eatery has a cozy New England pub vibe.

Parades and block parties
The Forestville Village Memorial Day Parade kicks off the summer every year at the end of May. The Pequabuck River Duck Race, hosted by Bristol’s Arts & Culture Commission, takes place in Forestville each year, too. The fall event typically takes place in the beginning of October. Ahead of the race, the block-party style event features family-friendly games and crafts, music, vendors and food.
An abundance of education options
Schools in the highly rated Bristol Public Schools district serve Forestville students between kindergarten and 12th grade. There are 14 schools, including the Bristol Arts and Innovation Magnet School, in the district, so parents are encouraged to double-check the boundary lines ahead of registering their youngsters for the year. One path students can take is Greene-Hills School between preschool and eighth grade and Bristol Central High for ninth through 12th grade. Both Greene-Hills K-5 School and Greene-Hills 6-8 School, which share a campus, got B-minus grades from Niche in 2023. That same year, Bristol Central got an A-minus. Teens at Bristol Central can take part in the Project Lead the Way pathway, a partnership between the high school and the University of New Haven and Rochester Institute of Technology designed to prepare students for future careers in engineering and technology.

Spacious parks and recreational clubs
Off King Street in Forestville’s northwest corner, Page Park offers more than 80 acres of outdoor recreation space. From its “boundless” (un-fenced) playground and seasonal splash pad to its expansive disc golf course, sports fields and lighted tennis courts, there’s plenty to enjoy. A little under 2 miles south down King Street, Casey Field has a lighted softball field and sand volleyball courts, along with another public playground. For residents who like to do ropes-style courses, there’s also the Pine Lake Challenge Course at Pine Lake Park, off Emmett Street less than a mile east of Casey Field. The park is also home to the Bristol Soccer Club, which practices on the sunny pitches overlooking the shady challenge course.
