About forty miles northwest of Detroit and twenty miles north of Ann Arbor, the suburban city of Brighton offers a living experience within reach of all the best that Michigan has to offer. The close proximity to the state’s biggest city makes Brighton a popular option for commuters, with the low crime rate and excellent schools boosting the appeal for families. The city features a classic Main Street walking district packed with locally-owned shops, restaurants, and bars in the center of town, serving as one of the community’s most popular hangouts.
Several other shopping centers are spread across the city, including Brighton Town Square on the north side, home to the local multiplex movie theater alongside the large retail stores. Brighton residents also enjoy lots of opportunities to spend time outdoors, from the expansive trail networks of Brighton Recreation Area to boating at Kent Lake to hitting the slopes at Mt. Brighton Ski Area.
