Redland & St Andrew's is a mid-density neighbourhood of Bristol in the South West region.

The population skews young, with a high concentration of 18- to 34-year-olds; the rental market is active and turnover is high — people move through rather than stay.

Redland & St Andrew's in Bristol
Living in Redland & St Andrew's
Bristol 020 sits firmly in the more settled, owner-occupied part of the city. Around 56% of households own their home — unusual for an inner Bristol neighbourhood where private renting tends to dominate — and the area scores well on the deprivation index, placing in the least deprived 20% of England. That combination of stability and relative affluence gives the streets a calmer, more rooted feel than many parts of the city.
Rents here are comfortably above the UK median. A two-bedroom home runs about £1,550 a month, a three-bedroom closer to £1,760. That's meaningful money, but Bristol 020 is significantly cheaper than comparable neighbourhoods in London. Council tax (Band D) comes to around £2,714 a year, broadly in line with the rest of Bristol. If you're buying rather than renting, median house prices are around £554,000 — and at current earnings, it takes roughly eight years to save a deposit, which is the honest maths for most buyers here.
The population skews young-to-middle. Around 39% of residents are aged 18–34, and the degree-educated share is striking — 64% hold a degree-level qualification, well above the national average. Single-person households make up about a quarter of all homes, while roughly one in five is a couple with children. It's a mixed tenure, but tilts decisively toward owners and longer-term residents rather than the high-turnover private rental market common in inner Bristol.
The standout characteristic for working residents is remote working: over half — 52.6% — work from home, which explains why public transport use is unusually low at under 5%. The nearest mainline rail station is around 480 metres away, so those who do commute are well connected.
