Where these numbers come from. Purchase prices for 53 of 53 areas are medians of recorded sales in each area's postcode district from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, January 2025 to September 2026. Safety is a relative rank of police.uk recorded street crime, compared across every English area we cover. Two-bed rents, school and lifestyle scores are indicative. A district median is not a valuation of any one home.

How to read these Bristol figures

Each purchase figure is the middle price of all standard residential sales recorded in the area's postcode district, so it mixes flats and houses, new builds and resales. Some neighbouring areas share a postcode district and therefore a median: Clifton and Hotwells; Redland and Cotham and Montpelier and Westbury Park; Bishopston and Horfield and Ashley Down and Lockleaze; Stoke Bishop and Henleaze and Westbury-on-Trym and Sea Mills, and others. Street-level prices within a district can differ a lot. Rents are indicative two-bedroom estimates, not advertised rents; check current listings. Journey times are distance-based estimates to Bristol city centre, not timetabled journeys.

Use the moving checklist to compare the total monthly cost of a home, routes at the hours you travel, school admissions and local amenities. Then open the map to weight what matters to you and rank every Bristol area against it.
