What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Bristol

Quiet, not busy, a 10 - 20 minute to most restaurants, grocery stores, shopping. To a lake about 10 minutes away for fishing, park like setting for family fun.

I'm close to numerous parks which is wonderful for walking and picnics. I'm also very close to popular lakes and rivers that have great walking/hiking trails and wonderful fishing.

im a homebody, so I stay in alot. there is nothing unique about this park. there are a couple of stores, Pizza hut and a tanning bed, all in walking distance

Close to downtown Bristol Va-TN. Great parks nearby for the summer. Police department isn't to far away.

The scenery around, beautiful hills and mountains. Quiet area. Lots of wild life, I see deer every day. Sometimes bears!

I am very close to college and work and downtown but it is still a quiet little neighborhood. That is what I like most about it.
