People keep saying avoid St Pauls - it's actually not that bad. Most of it is lovely Georgian architecture, it hosts the St Pauls Carnival which is excellent and it is very conveniently located bang smack in the middle of town.
It does have a high proportion of Afro-Carribean residents, so unless your the sort of person who's scared of other races then it's an excellent place.

Heres a true life example,
I drive a 2006 Mercedes CLK worth about £20k, I used to park it in the 'Posh' area of Clifton until it was scratched, had the wing mirror smashed off and was spat on.
My friends said 'Don't park it in St Pauls they'll nick your wheels' Do you know what? I've been parking in St Pauls for over 18 months now and I have not had ONE problem. Not a scratch.

If you believe everything you read without doing some research you'll just become arrogant.
By the way I live in Hanham (which I think is a lovely place) so I am in no way biased towards St Pauls - but it's just not as bad as everyone says it is.

Hartcliff and Withywood are quite grotty (appologies, but they are) St Pauls and Montpellier have bad reputations because of the riots years ago, but I don't think they are too bad.
Clifton (where I live) is beautiful, posh, very expensive, and in term time full of students!
Hotwells has lots of character, some great pubs, the floating harbour, but still quite expensive. Bemmy (Bedminster) is okay.

Avoid St Pauls, Easton, and Knowle West at all costs, parts of Southmead, Hartcliffe, and Eastville are somewhat dodgy, try to find a place in the North of the city.

people are perhaps being funny when they say avoid Bristol but they may be right. I would not buy a house there because I don't think it would be a good investment. The traffic is awful, it is too far from London and Manchester, it appears that there is quite a lot of crime. If there is no longer a job in Bristol for you, then where could you commute to? Bath? Cardiff?

I'm sure most people who already live in Bristol are happy to live there but if you are young and ambitious (aren't we all on Y!A), think hard.

bristol500 its so dang loud on raceday


extra body,depth and ripeness
I think you should of asked where it is better to live,
avoid Knowle and Barton Hill. St. Pauls is improving.

Clifton is ok if you like Uni students, Bedminster is full of crazy painted houses and if I were you I'd look at the surrounding area, such as Keynsham or Weston Super Mare.

You need to learn Brittle and not be a grockel, have a good ideal my luvver, let me give you a gurt big smacker.
