Brighton Real Estate
Brighton, like neighboring Allston, was home to agricultural
plots and stockyards in post-colonial days. The extension of street
car lines in the 1800s, however, encouraged residential growth, and
soon houses and apartments were built across the neighborhood. Unlike
Allston today, Brighton is fairly quiet, especially at night. The neighborhood,
which is primarily populated by graduate students, young professionals
and families, consists of an intricate network of streets lined with
houses and small apartment buildings. Local family businesses mix with
national chains of pharmacies and banks along Brighton's main drag,
Washington St, which runs straight through Brighton Center to Oak Square.
