From farmland to single-family and multifamily housing

Brighton East Farms sits just outside the city center with farmland and planned communities. Nearly 800 single-family homes line the neighborhood’s Parkside subdivision, while townhouses and apartments fill the remaining acres. “When that area was developed, there wasn’t a grocery store. In the last few years, all of a sudden, there are fast food places,” says Gina Bradshaw, a Colorado native and Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Colorado Real Estate who has over five years of experience. Paved paths connect the community’s neighborhood parks and green spaces, which is served by the Brighton East Farms Master Homeowners Association.

Single-family homes cost between $475,000 and $930,000 in the Brighton East Farms neighborhood.

Craftsman influence carried throughout subdivided streets

At the turn of the 21st century, new traditional homes with Craftsman influences were erected throughout the subdivision. Single-family homes cost between $475,000 and $930,000, while townhouses range from $350,000 to $395,000. Residents pay an additional $40 to $65 monthly for the homeowners association to manage snow removal and trash pickup. “Brighton East Farms has lower taxes and HOA fees since it’s not in a metro district,” says Jessica Arguello, a Realtor with Real Broker with over three years of real estate experience. “There are more established homes, with it being an area that’s been there for 20 years, surrounding a lot of newer builds like Brighton Crossings.” The entire city may be at an elevated fire risk, so as the community has grown east, a new fire station was built near the neighborhood. The fire department also hosts public fire safety academies for kids and adults.

Barr Lake and pockets of playgrounds and open space

Donelson Park’s football and soccer fields are in the center of the community. Sidewalks lead to its open space and the playground adjacent to it. Additional parks with playgrounds, including Bergman, Lockman and Harvest, dot the neighborhood. Barr Lake State Park is about a 5-mile drive south and has over 21 miles of trails, including nearly 9 miles of multiuse paths looping around the lake. Lakeside, anglers reel in channel catfish, rainbow trout and tiger muskie, while kayakers and canoers glide across the calm water. Brighton Oasis Family Aquatic Park opens its lazy river and pools anytime the predicted high temperature tops 70 degrees Fahrenheit from late May through the beginning of September.

Shopping center accessibility and downtown Brighton’s small businesses

Despite the absence of a commercial area in the neighborhood, Brighton East Farms is in proximity to both a lineup of locally owned businesses in Brighton’s downtown and box stores in shopping centers along Highway 7, such as Bomgaars in the Village Square Shopping Center. Small businesses, including On Pins & Needles quilt shop and My Local Boutique’s gift shop, dot North Main Street in downtown Brighton. Local restaurants also line the downtown area, varying from casual American food at Big Choice Brewing Pizzeria & Pub to award-winning Mexican food at La Estrellita. Main Street hosts Brighton’s annual events, including the tree lighting and winter market in December and Harvest Fest in late October. Box store brands, including Ross, Target and Kohl’s, line the Prairie Center Shopping Center, south of the community. Fast food chains and nationally known restaurants, including Chili’s Grill & Bar and Chick-fil-A, fill the plaza. Nearby grocers include King Soopers and Safeway.
