Planned neighborhood among Brighton farmlands

Today, Brighton Crossings is an expansive suburban community repurposed from farmlands, with walkability at the forefront. Trails and sidewalks were built alongside early 2000s and post-2010 homes to connect them with neighborhood parks and schools. Nearby shopping centers cater to convenience with everyday necessities a short drive or walk down the road. That wasn’t always the case. Before the start of the 21st century, when ground broke for the Brighton Crossings development, the city of Brighton was primarily thought of as an agricultural community. “If you said you were out on Tower Road, people would be like, ‘Oh, you’re going to Kansas,’" says Gina Bradshaw, a local Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Colorado Real Estate who has over 5 years of real estate experience, regarding the community’s rural roots.

Brighton Crossings is a quaint neighborhood, offering a friendly and relaxing lifestyle.

Community events, including paint nights, ice cream socials and holiday festivals, are held at Venture Center. The Brighton Crossings Metropolitan District organizes community garage sales and holiday contests, with winners voted by the community, including house decorating competitions for Halloween and the holidays. “This particular area has a small-town feel because it is a bit farther from the city of Brighton, which itself is also a small town; they have a Main Street, and they do a Turkey Trot,” Bradshaw says.

Different developers and new traditional housing architecture

Developers are building out the Brighton Crossings neighborhood with new traditional homes, some with Craftsman influences. Paved sidewalks trace the ends of driveways and lawns that are maintainable with push lawnmowers. Home prices range from around $425,000 to $725,000. Homeowners pay both $45 for trash management and $240 for operations quarterly, covering the cost of courtyard mowing, dog station services, irrigation checks and snow removal.

The Brighton Fire Rescue District Station 52 was built nearby to serve the growing east side of the city.
