Frequently Asked Questions

City Guide for Bristol, CT

Beautiful ocean views? Check. Sports headquarters for ESPN? Check. Huge museum of clocks and history? Check. Nicknamed the "Bell City" after a positively zany history involving manufacturing doorbells? Check.

Bristol lies 20 miles southwest of Hartford, and clocks in at just over 60,000 residents. ESPN's main studios are found here, so if you're a sports junkie you've got to take a gander through town. Like adrenaline outside of sports? Don't worry, the oldest functioning theme park in the U.S. is here, too. Like the softer side of things? You can always check out the annual "Mum" festival, dedicated to the chrysanthemum flower--just try saying that name more than 5 times in a row! View Bristol City Guide

What to keep in mind when looking for apartments with balconies in Bristol, CT

Balconies are a coveted amenity for many renters looking for high-rise views and opportunities for fresh air. However, you should keep in mind that balconies often come with restrictions.

Before signing a lease, ask about how many people can be on the balcony at once. Also, ask about whether you’re allowed to store a bike or other items.

You’ll also want to know about any maintenance schedules. Using your balcony as storage could result in fines and intervention from your property management.

Keep in mind that not all balconies are created equally. You may discover the views of the parking area are less than optimal or reduce your overall privacy.

Balconies can also get messy with debris, foliage, dirt, and pollen depending on your location. Renters are typically responsible for any clean-up and basic balcony upkeep.

Regardless of the issues to keep in mind, balconies are usually a big win for Bristol renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
