Brighton's housing stock is among the most varied in Boston's outer neighborhoods, encompassing triple-deckers and multi-family buildings in the denser lower Brighton area, brick apartment buildings along Commonwealth Avenue, and more detached single-family homes and condominiums in the Oak Square and Cleveland Circle sub-areas near the reservoir. The neighborhood's proximity to Boston College and the medical campuses in the Longwood area drives consistent rental and purchase demand across property types.
