It's been only seven months since I moved to Brightwood Community. Seeing such diversity, I felt complete. Most of the time I walk home late nights but, I have no complaints about safety. People are family-friendly and quite helpful. I analyzed we have the best job opportunities as we have many companies around us and reputed public schools to study at.
Easy acess to public transportstion, kinda close to everything, close to parks, close to supermarkets, diverse neighborhood.
