Live in the wooded hills of Bright, IN

This unincorporated community of Bright, Indiana was once called Saltillo for the nearby salt springs. In 1873, it was renamed Bright. Bright has grown as I-275 has expedited the area’s outward expansion. The approximately area is about 4 square mile with average home costing 195,519 with a population of 5,405. The community retains its very rural feel, with heavily wooded hills and winding lanes. While the drive is a little farther to downtown, the distance also means homebuyers get more for their money, with a fairly large selection of old homes, and newer, contemporary homes, many secluded on large, wooded lots. If you are moving with children, the area school districts for your children are Sunman-Dearborn Community Schools, Lawrenceburg Community Schools and South Dearborn Community Schools. The firemen’s festival in July is one of the main events celebrated with food, music, rides, games and corn-hole tournament. What is Bright’s claim to fame, you may ask? Knowles Shaw, who wrote the words to the hymn “Bringing in the Sheaves” in 1886, preached at Bright’s First Christian Church known as Old Union. If you are looking forward to traveling or other excitements, approximate travel times to downtown Cincinnati and Airport about 30-35 minutes.
