Win over prospective landlords with your smart budgeting. As a good rule of thumb, ideally you would have at least three times your monthly rent in combined household income.
Brighton is mostly a residential community. Brighton is easily accessible off the mass pike. There are express buses that leave out of Oak Square with a direct stop in Kenmore Square. Washington Street is lined with restaurants, bars, and shops. Brighton sits on the Charles River Wetlands Trails where people walk, ride their bike, canoe on the Charles, and hold outdoor gatherings.
