Brimley is a tiny town located in the state of Michigan. With a population of 501 people and two associated neighborhoods, Brimley is the 571st largest community in Michigan.
Another notable thing is that Brimley is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.
Because of many things, Brimley is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Brimley really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Brimley perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Brimley has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Brimley a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
