If so, take a look at Brighton Park, one of downtown Mint Hill NC's most walkable neighborhoods.  Brighton Park wraps around a community shopping center that includes a grocery store, several restaurants, and other convenient shops.  Mint Hill Town Hall and a bank are nearby at the intersection of Lawyers Road and Highway 51.

Brighton Park has the feel of a traditional neighborhood where streets are arranged on a grid and homes with front porches on narrow deep lots allow neighbors to know and greet each other.  Some of the lots have alleys behind them where homes with rear garages can be built.  Five parks are interspersed among the homes in Brighton Park.  A huge legacy magnolia tree that dominates the linear park along Highway 51 provides a beautiful entry to the neighborhood.  This park contains a path for strolling and benches for relaxing.
