About Brighton

Located in Tipton County roughly thirty miles north of Memphis, Brighton offers a quiet, small-town lifestyle with plenty of open space.

U.S. Route 51 runs right along the edge of town, giving residents a straightforward commute to Memphis as well as easy access to nearby Covington for everyday shopping and dining.
