Quiet, all types of stores within 3 miles. Part of Boston (not a separate city, but was annexed in) Public transportation very handy. Real estate areas kept good, generally. Public and Private schools handy. General street layout good, downtown areas good. A large hospital (St. Elizabeth Medical Center) is local, also close to a world-famous medical area.
It's pretty good, definitely more desirable areas nearby like Brookline Cambridge Newton, but Brighton gets the job done as a nice, quiet, safe and beautiful neighborhood. A car would definitely help and may be necessary especially if you're in the Oak Square area. The green line is very slow and takes almost 45 minutes to get out to Brighton from downtown despite only being like 4 miles. Honestly if you don't have a car biking would be faster.
Very nice town! Friendly, things to do, very happy with it. It would be nice if a MBTA train would go through it, but the bus lines are great. Very happy with Brighton!
