Resting on a peninsula that stretches into the Narragansett Bay, Bristol is a historic city that has a storied maritime past. Water surrounds almost all of Bristol, lending the area a charming waterfront atmosphere and a cool breeze that rolls in off the bay. Downtown Bristol rests on Hope Street along Bristol Harbor and features local restaurants, coffee shops, oyster bars, and so much more. The local yacht club and waterfront parks like Colt State Park give residents access to the calm waters that surround the city. An eclectic mix of rentals are available in this historic locale, including long-standing single-family homes and characterful apartments near the walkable downtown area. Bristol is just 15 miles south of Providence, ensuring renters have access to the best of the country's smallest state.
