About Brighton

Brighton is a small Jefferson County community sitting right between Birmingham and Bessemer. It originally grew around the streetcars and iron companies that fueled the region at the turn of the twentieth century. Today, it is a quiet, low-key residential town where neighbors know each other. For anyone considering a move to the Birmingham metro, Brighton provides affordable housing and a peaceful setting, all within a quick drive to downtown jobs, shopping, and healthcare.
