Over the last decade, Bristol has undergone an extensive programme of regeneration and rejuvenation that has transformed the city into a modern, vivacious, cosmopolitan and forward-thinking location.

Bristol has a lot to offer and a huge choice of bars, restaurants and shops. Eating out is an agony of choice for gastronomes - the city is awash with places to eat, from traditional greasy spoons to fine dining emporiums. And where the restaurants are located, the city’s nightlife inevitably follows.

Bristol offers quality night life, the main reason being it’s 30,000 strong student population, however, it is relatively expensive with entertainment prices similar to those in London. Mainstream nightlife centres on King and Corn Streets in the ‘old city’, whilst the Harbourside and Whiteladies Road areas are dominated by chain bars and get extremely busy at weekends.

The development of Bristol’s Harbourside has been a major success story in the city’s history. The Harbourside is a popular residential area, offering new housing, waterfront apartments, luxury developments and attractive townhouses. This is a particularly desirable place to live in Bristol, being close to the city centre and offering pleasant views overlooking Bristol’s floating harbour.

Another sought after area to live in Bristol is the village of Clifton, to the north-west of the city. Within walking distance of Bristol University and close to good shops and restaurants, it is a popular district for both student accommodation and family living. It lies two miles from the city centre and a quarter of a mile from The Downs. Both detached houses and semi-detached houses can be found here, as well as flat conversions in traditional buildings. The area also contains some modern apartment blocks, maisonettes and luxury apartments.
