I've been living in Brighton park my whole life so no matter what it's home and honestly I enjoy living here it has a lot of culture especially with the Latino community. Brighton park has more recently been upgrading the kind of things that the neighborhood has to offer like adding more food options and more stores. As much as things here can be improved there is a strong sense of community. The only thing I would change is more parks specifically an area that people can come and hangout we have small parks around the neighborhood but no actual main park I believe that this is the only thing really missing to make more sense of the community we have here

I grew up living in this neighborhood. I'm used to the traffic, night life and crime. The crime rates have been higher now, but usually things are okay as long as you don't get into any issues with anyone.

It is a nice neighborhood with many lovely neighbors. Everyone is very kind to one another and very talkative and will try their best to get to know each other.

What I like of brighton park is that it is a big park where they have ponds for ducks/birds, 2 spaces to play tennis, basketball court, baseball court, playground for kids and it is a great idea to go and walk. Definitely it is a day well spent. Something I would change would be more parking space.
