Bristol Heights

You wake up here and you're already close to things—a restaurant within a six-minute walk, a grocery under a mile away, a transit stop just down the block. It's the kind of subdivision where five acres actually means something: seven parks within a mile, enough trees to make fall look like an oil painting, and enough breathing room that you don't feel like you're living in someone else's backyard. Homes here run around three hundred seven thousand, on lots averaging a tenth of an acre, with the kind of mid-century bones—ranch, Cape Cod, colonial—that don't apologize for themselves.
