For more than 500 years, Brentwood’s beautiful rolling hills have made it an ideal place to raise a family. In the 15th century, Native set up homes in this area, developing villages, and building massive mounds that still stand today. Later, an 1858 newspaper lauded the young village of Brentwood’s potential, stating that as a “retreat for health and pure air (every lot being shaded by forest growth) it cannot be excelled.” More than 100 years later, in 1969, Brentwood was incorporated as a city with a population of 3,378. Today, it is a premier residential and office community that more than 47,000 people call home.

Brentwood is one of the wealthiest cities in America. The high quality of life the city provides its residents has made it a popular destination for families and corporate headquarters. Brentwood is known for its family-friendliness, pristine hills, 1-acre density residential lots, tree canopy, and beautiful parks and trails. The community prides itself on maintaining its natural beauty and preserving its rich history.
