Close enough to the action but still far enough
Northeast Bristol puts homeowners close to the action of the town of Bristol but not in the middle of it. Residents live a bike ride away from the Fourth of July parade that takes over the town once a year, but they’re far away enough that Continental Army soldiers rapping on drums won’t parade past their homes. The neighborhood hugs the water, but it’s on the opposite side of town from the popular beaches lined with hotels and yacht clubs. Northeast Bristol doesn’t include much besides houses, but residents can venture beyond the neighborhood when they choose and take part in the festivities, restaurants and waterfront recreation for which Bristol is known.
Architecture harkens back to older times
Twentieth-century home styles reign supreme in the neighborhood, but the common white- and brown-painted clapboard exteriors harken back to the historical roots of the town, founded in 1747. Minimal traditional homes, split-levels and occasional Dutch colonials stand on medium-sized yards that are often bordered with stones. A three-bedroom townhouse with roughly 1,000 square feet of living space may cost around $340,000, with prices climbing into the mid-$900,000s for a 2,700-square-foot waterfront house with three bedrooms. Homebuyers in Northeast Bristol pay a median price of $530,000, which stacks up in the middle when compared to the surrounding neighborhoods. Hurricanes and floods have battered the coastal town a few times over more than two centuries, so prospective homebuyers may want to research flood insurance options when considering a move to the area.

Shoreline is a focal point
Juniper Trail Beach on the neighborhood’s east side is hardly a tourist destination, but it’s a suitable spot for locals to bob on the waves in boats and kayaks. The beaches and shores aren’t as much of a draw when the temperature dives and the waters become frigid, says Deb Jobin, a Realtor at RE/MAX River’s Edge and a Bristol resident. “Other than the fishermen and the quahoggers, it gets a little bit quieter,” she says. “But people do a lot of walking along the shoreline.” Kids can scramble and tumble on the playground at Fatima Drive Neighborhood Park, a tiny neighborhood park tucked into a thicket of trees. Next to the playground, a chain link backstop in an open field serves as a makeshift home plate for a game of baseball.

Close to downtown
There’s little commerce in the Northeast Bristol neighborhood, but half a mile south stores line Metacom Avenue. The street hosts day-to-day shopping destinations such as Stop & Shop supermarket, Walgreens pharmacy and a handful of banks. Bristol’s restaurant and bar scene is concentrated in downtown, on the southwest side of the community. That may be on the opposite side of town from Northeast Bristol, but a 3-mile drive or bike ride is all it takes for neighborhood residents to arrive downtown. Once there, Jobin recommends dinner on S.S. Dion’s waterfront patio. “They serve seafood – whatever is fresh and whatever is local. And they make their own sea salt. You’ve got to have the New England clam chowder.”
Extended July 4th celebration
Bristol’s biggest tradition kicks off every year less than 2 miles from the neighborhood. The annual Fourth of July parade marches through downtown, carrying on Bristol’s legacy as the home of the oldest continuous Independence Day celebration. The town’s first Fourth of July was held in 1785, led by a Revolutionary War veteran. More than 200 years later, the celebration includes concerts, parties and races that span the two weeks leading up to July 4. Once the big day arrives, the parade commences in the late morning. But some attendees show up before 4 a.m. to claim a spot along the route.
High school offers classes in Photoshop and ceramics
Northeast Bristol doesn’t contain any schools, but neighborhood children attending the Bristol Warren Regional School District are less than 3 miles from any campus. Kids can start at Rockwell Elementary School, which Niche grades a B-plus. After fifth grade, students are likely to attend B-rated Kickemuit Middle School before they advance to Mt. Hope High School. Teens at the B-minus-rated school are able to flex their creative side by taking classes about Photoshop and ceramics while also diving into STEM topics such as biotechnology and marine biology.
The Rockwell School in Bristol is a highly regarded elementary school.
The Kickemuit Middle School serves all of the Bristol and Warren students in grades 6-8.

The RIPTA bus runs along Metacom Avenue in Northeast Bristol - Kickemuit 4 times a day.
20 miles to Providence
Locals face moderate drives to work and relaxation destinations. Providence, the state’s capital city and primary jobs hub, is less than a 20-mile drive away, while tourist hangout Newport is 15 miles to the south. Meanwhile, the beaches of Cape Cod are a 65-mile trip to the east. Bristol is surrounded by water on three sides, but a series of highways and bridges make commuting from the town a breeze, Jobin says. “I remain in Bristol because my business takes me as far as Boston and Provincetown, Massachusetts. Bristol’s proximity to the highways is important.”
