Brighton offers the best of both worlds: affordable Boston rents with a family-friendly, suburban feel. Sharing a border with Allston, Brighton is calmer and more residential, with tree-lined streets, local shops in Brighton Center, and the beautiful Chestnut Hill Reservoir. The Green Line B branch provides access to downtown, and Boston College sits at the neighborhood's western edge. Brighton is particularly popular with graduate students, young families, and anyone who wants to live in Boston without paying Back Bay prices.
