Portishead has long been a well known place, but it was the band Portishead which made the name famous in the nineties, purely because of their popularity, and not because of anyone outside of the towns knowledge of the place. This situation looks to be changing though, with a recent regeneration of the town completed, Portishead is looking superb. When you consider the location of this town, it is no wonder that it is becoming one of the more popular places to live in the area. For a start, Portishead is only a stones throw away from Bristol. Bristol is known to be one of the most attractive cities in the country, and beyond its looks, Bristol offers culture, sophisticated shopping, night life and wonderful dining experiences. On top of this, Bristol has its own airport, and two very well thought of Universities, meaning that it is a thriving student city too. If you choose to go a little further afield you will find the new Severn bridge, or the delightful Clifton Suspension bridge. One takes you across the Avon Gorge, but the other more recent construction will carry you over to the country of Wales! Portishead is a lovely place in its own right, and the new properties that are being built in the town really take it up another notch. These beautiful newly built houses have been perfectly designed to make the most of this beautiful location, and anyone who is looking for Homes in Portishead really should take a look to see if they suit their needs.
