Brentwood

Set against the golden hills of Eastern Contra Costa County, Brentwood is a vibrant and growing city where families, professionals, and first-time buyers are finding their perfect place to call home. Known for its agricultural roots, beautiful neighborhoods, and strong sense of community, Brentwood is a city on the rise that hasn’t lost its small-town heart.

A Family-Focused Lifestyle

Brentwood is often chosen for its excellent schools, safe neighborhoods, and family-friendly atmosphere. From local sports leagues to weekend farmers markets and seasonal festivals, the city is built around connection and community. Parents appreciate the strong Brentwood Union School District and the city’s commitment to parks, libraries, and recreation centers.

Outdoor Living & Open Space

Nature lovers thrive in Brentwood. With access to the Marsh Creek Trail, Round Valley Regional Preserve, and nearby Delta waterways, outdoor living is part of daily life. Whether you're biking, hiking, fishing, or picking your own produce from a local farm, there’s always something to enjoy in the fresh air.

Brentwood’s farming history is alive and well—especially during cherry-picking season or when the fresh corn stands pop up along the roads. This blend of rural charm and modern living makes it feel grounded, welcoming, and peaceful.

Charming Downtown & Local Flavor

The historic downtown has undergone thoughtful revitalization, blending small-town charm with modern amenities. Locally owned restaurants, boutiques, wine bars, and coffee shops give residents plenty of options for dining and socializing—without needing to leave town.

Brentwood also has a growing food and wine scene, with local vineyards and tasting rooms, and a community that supports farm-to-table living.

Space to Grow & Room to Breathe

Compared to many Bay Area cities, Brentwood offers more space, newer homes, and better affordability, making it a top choice for buyers looking to stretch their budget without compromising on quality of life. The city has seen steady development while preserving greenbelts, parks, and community resources.

With wide streets, newer developments, and homes with generous yards, Brentwood feels open and welcoming—a refreshing change from more crowded urban centers.

Conveniently Located

Brentwood is well-positioned for those commuting to the Tri-Valley, Stockton, or Central Valley. While it’s a bit farther from core Silicon Valley cities, many residents find the lifestyle trade-off worth it. Plus, transit options and access to BART extensions continue to evolve, making it more connected than ever.
