West Brighton
What it’s like to live in West Brighton
Fed up with microscopic apartments and nightmare parking situations? West Brighton delivers the spacious living that most New Yorkers have abandoned hope of finding. The neighborhood's rental houses often include driveways, basements for storage, and actual yards where you can grill without violating six different regulations. Forest Avenue serves as the commercial backbone with locally-owned restaurants where owners still remember regulars. The express bus provides Manhattan access for commuters, though having a car maximizes the neighborhood's potential. Many homes feature bonus spaces like sunrooms or finished attics that effectively add hundreds of square feet beyond advertised dimensions – space that would cost thousands more monthly in other boroughs.
