I talk about this in one of my upcoming posts but one of the best parts of living in Brighton was how walkable it was. In two months of living there, we only got on the bus twice. Everywhere else we walked!

It made getting around with a baby, dog and stroller so much easier. And it made our local community so much more accessible. We had a much better experience because we could just pop downstairs to the coffee shop, go up the street for groceries, around the corner for swim lessons, etc. I can’t even imagine having to drive 20 mins or more anytime I wanted to do anything outside of my house. Definitely not the life for me and my family!

Give me smaller square footage in an urban apartment over a suburban cul de sac any day!
