Brighton is Charlottetown's most
prestigious neighborhood, buffered from the city somewhat by bucolic Victoria
Park. Comprising houses over 100 years old as well as newer developments
from the 1970s to the 1990s, Brighton is roughly delineated by Colonel
Gray Drive, North River Road, McGill Avenue and Spring Park Road. Houses
with proximity to Charlottetown Harbour and the North (Yorke) River tend
to be more prestigious with their large lots along a former cottage area.
Mature trees line newer developments along Queen Elizabeth Drive, Edinburgh
Drive, Inkerman Drive, and Prince Charles Drive. Older Victorian homes
are situated in Old Brighton which is bounded by McGill Avenue, North
River Road, Ambrose Street, and Brighton Road. |
