Brighton and the surrounding communities of southern Tipton County appeal to people who like a small-town setting with access to the Memphis metro. If you live, work, or are looking for housing in that part of West Tennessee, Millington is worth a look. It sits just south in Shelby County, and US Highway 51 connects the area. This post explains what Millington Oaks offers and how to decide whether it fits your plans. Commute times vary with your route, traffic, and destination, so map your own trip before deciding.
