Bristol West End

Great clean apartment with gym and lots of other students

Amazing place to live! I've lived here since 1st year and highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to live in a safe place, close to the hospital, with great apartment quality, pool and right across the street from the Rec center!

I've really enjoyed living at Bristol West End. I have a lot of classmates there, it is close to VUMC, there is a shuttle from the near by parking lot, my car is parked in a garage, there is a work-out facility and a pool, and the place is kept in good condition.

Ideal for med students as at least 15+ from each class live here. Easily walk to campus but also shuttle service if the weather is a problem

The apartments are comfortable and the HOA is proactive and ready to help. There is a nice (4 ft deep) pool downstairs, a public lounge, and a little gym (with some weights, treadmills, ellipticals, and bikes). There are 2 parking garages (although it cost me extra for a parking spot)-- however, I believe you can also park outside on the street for free. A large number of people from each class year end up living here (about 15 people in Class of 2023). One of the best parts is the fact that it's only a 10-15 min walk away from campus and has a free Vanderbilt bus that stops right outside that runs frequent hours on weekdays. It's also located on West End, so there are some restaurants/grocery stores within 5 minute walking distance (ex. Walgreen's, Panera, Chipotle, Starbucks). The only downside is that rent is a bit high. Pets are allowed but there's no yard for them or anything like that (not sure about pet fees).

Bristol West End is very close to Vanderbilt's campus which is really convenient. The building is in great condition and indoor parking and water are included in the rent. There is a shuttle stop across the street that gets you to campus in minutes, and the building is very secure. I'd say the price is worth it for convenience, safety, and space!

Super close to Vanderbilt, very nice apartment. Lots of closet space, beautiful bathrooms. Functional gym, pool but nothing to write home about. Landlord is nitpicky about dumb rules and regulations and is not particularly responsive. Decent amount of on-street parking.

Super close to campus which is awesome. Almost 1/3 of our class lives here so there's always friends nearby to visit with or see in the hallways. Has a gym and a pool. Apartments are really big and have great appliances and layouts.

Bristol is known as the "med school dorm" and I love hanging out with classmates here. The short walking distance from campus is great, and on rainy or cold days I use the VUMC shuttle bus.

I've enjoyed living here. The units are high quality and the property is well maintained. It is a quiet population, mostly medical students and young hospital professionals. The HOA can be a bit intense, and with cameras everywhere it can feel like you're living under a microscope sometimes. Other than that, it's a great location. Easy 15-20min walk to Owen, and a reasonable walk or short Uber to midtown/downtown.
