Great place to live!

Brighton is a great place to live. On the plus side, Brighton (Livingston County) is beautiful with lots of lakes, trees, parks, hiking and biking trails, etc. GREAT schools. It's a fairly low cost of living housing-wise. You're about 50 min. from Detroit so you have access to the culture & activities that a big city has to offer (shows, musicals, sporting events, great restaurants, casinos, etc.) But Brighton itself is a charming small downtown with the conveniences of the large retailers about 2 min. away from the charming downtown. The only downside is: harsh, long winters and Brighton isn't that transient and so most people that live here are from here and have lots of family and friends here already. (Seems slightly less easy to meet people vs. when we lived in Chicago.) Also, there are not many ethnic or outstanding restaurants if you're a foodie. But Ann Arbor is about a 20 min. drive and offers a ton more options.
