Brighton is located 20 miles Northeast of Metro Denver. It is the county seat of Adams County, Brighton blends small town with suburban growth. Long a farming center with processing plants for sugar beets and cucumbers, Brighton today is being influenced by Denver International Airport on the south and easy access to Denver via I-76.

Brighton’s continued growth is assured with it’s now easy access to the E-470 tollroad which connects I-25 to the north and I-70 to the south. This new freeway will bring distant Brighton even closer to Denver.

If you prefer country living with the convenience of Downtown Denver less than 30-40 minutes away, Brighton is a good choice. Housing opportunities range from Planned Communities to custom homes on acreage. The terrain is rolling plains, a home on top of a hill will have an awesome view of the front range of the Rocky mountains.
