There isn't as much to do as preferred, but if you are looking for a quiet semi rural area Bristol is great. Some areas do have a higher drug problem, schools are good with dedicated teachers.
Certain areas of Bristol can be pretty drug filled. Steele Creek Park is a great spot to visit for hiking, play grounds, train ride, picnics, and paddle boats. They have a huge nature center with plenty of attractions for the little ones.
