About the Neighborhood
Living in Brentwood

It is home to around 34,000 residents and is anchored by iconic landmarks including the Getty Center museum, the coral tree-lined median of San Vicente Boulevard, and the Brentwood Country Mart. The neighborhood is nearly fully built out, which keeps supply constrained and supports long-term price stability.
Brentwood attracts families who prioritize school quality, professionals who value proximity to the 405 and Santa Monica, and buyers seeking a neighborhood with genuine community character.
