Brighton, Colorado

I love living in Brighton, CO. I have lived here for over a year with my children and husband, and we plan to be here the rest of our lives. This town has it all. It feels like a small town, and still has many farms, and small local groups. However it offers many of the amenities of city life, such as shopping, eating out, festivals, etc. The neighborhoods are quaint, and downtown main street offers some old shops, as well as some newer places to visit to shop and eat. The schools are good, and the parks and recreation facilities are outstanding. The recreation center offers tons of exciting groups and organizations and facilities to residents and non-residents for a reasonable price. Local businesses are small and friendly, and offer competitve prices for amenities, including special order items (Black Forest Bakery on Main Street can make some excellent canolis with a day's notice!). And if for some reason you cannot find what you are needing within Brighton City Limits, the town is located just 15 miles northeast of Denver, so it isn't a stretch to travel where you need to go.
