Westbury Village
Bristol 006 · 4 sub-areas · 6,490 residents
Bristol 006 is a settled, largely owner-occupied neighbourhood within Bristol, home to around 6,490 people. A typical two-bedroom flat lets for about £1,550 a month — noticeably above the UK median for a 2-bed, reflecting Bristol's position as one of England's pricier regional cities. What stands out here is the unusually high proportion of residents working from home: more than half the working population does so.
Westbury Village is a green, lower-density part of Bristol — parks within walking distance of most addresses, a slower weekday rhythm, and a population skewed toward longer-tenure households rather than transient renters. Most homes are owner-occupied, so turnover is low and many residents have been here a long time; a high share of adults are degree-educated, which often shows up in the kind of jobs people commute to.

Westbury Village in Bristol
Living in Westbury Village
Bristol 006 has the feel of an established residential area rather than a transient rental market. Owner-occupation runs at around 71% — well above what you'd expect in most Bristol neighbourhoods — which means the streets tend to attract people who've committed to the area for the long haul. That stability shows in the demographic make-up: nearly a quarter of residents are aged 65 or over, and the neighbourhood has a noticeably older, quieter character than many parts of the city.
On cost, you're firmly in mid-to-upper Bristol territory. A two-bedroom home runs around £1,550 a month, and a three-bedroom closer to £1,760. Rents rose roughly 7.6% over the past year, which is a meaningful squeeze if you're renewing a tenancy. Council tax (Band D) comes to about £2,714 a year — worth factoring into your monthly budget alongside rent.
The demographic mix is fairly homogeneous by Bristol standards, with around 87% of residents UK-born and an ethnic diversity index of 20. But what's genuinely distinctive is the education level: 56% of residents hold a degree-level qualification, well above the regional norm. This is somewhere that attracts professionals who've put down roots.
Practically speaking, the nearest mainline rail station is roughly 2.6 km away — about a 33-minute walk, so most people drive or cycle. Over half of residents work from home, which partly explains the relatively low public transport use (just 3% commute by public transport). Broadband here is fully gigabit-capable, with no properties falling below the universal service obligation — a genuine asset for remote workers.

- Is Bristol 006 safe?
