Boston's Brighton Area:
Neighborhood Information
Originally the Town of Brighton prior to its annexation to Boston in 1874, during the 19th century it was a center for slaughtering meat, due partly to the still active railroad line that runs through it. It is adjacent to Chestnut Hill and Newton, the Charles River, Allston (originally part of Brighton) and Brookline. Boston College, Harvard University and the enormous Boston University are all either adjacent or partly within its borders. Due to its proximity to these and other colleges, a significant percentage of its population are either students or twenty somethings who desire to live close to those of a similar age. Consequently, commercial sections of Brighton and especially Allston feature numerous businesses tailored to them, including numerous nightclubs, live music venues, stores and lower priced restaurants.
Much of the housing is apartments within buildings, especially along Commonwealth Avenue, with a few condominiums. Luxury apartments are located in high-rise buildings near Boston College, a large reservoir and a wooded area. Although there are numerous houses comprising a single family, a significant number of these long ago became housing designed for multiple students. Multiple supermarkets and larger grocery stores are located in or near Brighton. Street crime is rare. With a resident parking sticker, parking is relatively easy, unless you are trying to park late at night. Some streets offer free parking for everyone.
