Things to do in Bristol TN VA 

Isn't this place a geographical oddity!

It is possible. It would depend on the property's zoning, but that's doable. You'd almost certainly need to subdivide the lots (one per house) but in general terms it can be done.

Not too often. There just isn't much residential in the actual downtown area, but in the surrounding blocks you can find something at times.

No, they are all full. I looked for 6 months and could not find anything that was what I was looking for!

There's one in Bristol, one in Kingsport, and one in Johnson City. There's also a large VA hospital in Johnson City.

Welcoming

I don't know of any reason you wouldn't feel welcome.

@@TNVAHomeTeam thank you for taking the time to answer. We live in a suburb of Chicago and simply researching on where to retire in a few years. Just my hubby and I. Would hate to move somewhere then find out later we are not welcomed. Both courteous, hard working, intelligent individuals. Just have the dark hair and olive skin, lol. God bless.
