Niche User: I have lived in Brighton, Michigan my entire life. I love this city very much for multiple reasons. The people from here are usually very kind and friendly and there are many activities to do around here. We have wonderful lakes and metroparks throughout the city, we have a movie theater, bowling alley, arcade, laser tag arena, ice skating arena, and many other great places to go. There is always something to do in Brighton. Over the summer there is a concert at the Millpond every Sunday. It's fun to bring your family, go out with friends, or even just go by yourself. Brighton is filled with wonderful restaurants and beautiful homes. I am so blessed to have been raised in such an amazing community and if I had the choice to live somewhere else I don't think I would. Our location is also great because you can drive less than a hour and be in the states Capitol city of Lansing, or go the opposite direction and you could be in the great city of Detroit for a concert or baseball, hockey, or football game. Also we are only about an hour away from Ohio as well. Brighton is located in such a wonderful area and there is always something happening here so you should never get bored of this great town!...

Current Resident: Hartland is a small town, full of big-hearted people. At first glance, Hartland may appear as just another farm town, but it is much more than that. Hartland is home to some of the most hard-working, kind people that I have ever met. We do not have many stores or fancy restaurants, so we occupy ourselves in different ways. The local trip to the Meijer grocery store is typically a crowd favorite. But you cannot forget driving around on dirt roads until you run out of gas. That activity is very popular as well. Families that live in Hartland do life differently, we teach our friends, children, and neighbors what it means to put effort in all you do, to make a difference. This is evident through our school district. If you are looking for a place to live and are in search of a kind community, I highly recommend you give Hartland, Michigan a try.... Read 69 reviews

Current Resident: I love the suburban charm. It is not too developed, yet is more convenient than more rural cities. This is a very safe place to live, especially for families. The school system is top-notch, and the athletics are very competitive. However, there is an astounding lack of diversity. The community is mostly comprised of mid to high-income families. This can be observed through some residents pretentiousness. Overall, this is a great place to live but there is room for improvement. I would like to see more diversity and inclusion. Without it, Brighton's residents are known for living in the "Brighton Bubble".... Read 52 reviews

Current Resident: I think the city of Howell is an awesome city for children to grow up. There is a wonderful community that rally's around each other, from sports to local tragedies. With Howell High School having rivalries with neighboring towns Brighton and Hartland, this allows for strengthening of pride and sense of community. The city/town also had a numerous amount of small businesses that are incredibly supported by the community, creating and strengthening personal relationships. Downtown Howell hosts beautiful coffee shops, restaurants, farmers market and many more. The couple block strip on Grand River is usually buzzing on most weeknights and especially the weekends. Geographically the city is in a prime location, sitting exactly in-between Detroit and Lansing and neighboring the buzzing town of Brighton.... Read 78 reviews
