Brighton is a diverse, multi-cultural community of neighbors and neighborhoods, schools, businesses and places of worship. Brighton is a hometown that is passionate about our children and their education. We respect and honor the diversity that binds us together. Our schools are some of the very best in the State, with award winning academics, music, arts and athletics programs. Monroe Community College is located in Brighton, and the University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology are also nearby. The Brighton Community Garden officially opened in May 2009. What began as an offshoot of the Brighton Farmers’ Market, to increase residents’ access to local food, continues to thrive today as a strong reflection of our resident’s commitment to help ensure a Greener Brighton.
