Speak with a Brentwood real estate agent:

Brentwood Overview

Brentwood sits on the west side of Los Angeles and has long been one of the city's most attractive neighborhoods. What draws people here is the mix of wide, tree-lined streets, a relaxed but refined atmosphere, and homes that range from classic mid-century designs to newer, contemporary builds. The area started out as ranch land and citrus groves, but over the years it's become a residential pocket known for its space, privacy, and understated style.

Part of Brentwood's appeal is the balance it offers: you're minutes from Santa Monica, Westwood, and Beverly Hills, but life here feels quieter and less rushed. The Brentwood Village area, with its cafés, shops, and weekend farmers' market, gives it a small-town feel right in the middle of Los Angeles. The Getty Center above the neighborhood is a cultural landmark, and the Santa Monica Mountains are just a short drive away for hiking and outdoor time.

Families appreciate the schools and parks, while professionals like the easy access to major business centers without being in the thick of the city. The neighborhood also has a long reputation for privacy, which is one reason you'll find so many well-known residents here. Even so, Brentwood doesn't come across as too flashy. It's welcoming, community-oriented, and consistently ranks as a place where people want to put down roots.
