About Brentwood

Brentwood is an East Contra Costa County community where long-standing agricultural roots meet a growing residential city. Farms, orchards, seasonal produce, and local agricultural experiences remain part of the area's identity, while established neighborhoods, newer development, shopping districts, parks, trails, and recreation facilities reflect the city's continued growth.

Historic Downtown Brentwood serves as a gathering place for restaurants, shops, public events, City Park, and the year-round farmers market. Brentwood is also closely associated with locally grown corn, cherries, orchards, farm stands, and seasonal U-pick experiences that connect the city to its agricultural history.

Across Brentwood, visitors and prospective buyers will find a range of residential settings, including established streets near downtown, newer communities, townhomes and condominiums, active-adult developments, and properties with larger lots near the edges of the city. Parks, athletic and aquatic facilities, regional trails, neighborhood shopping areas, and connections to surrounding East Contra Costa communities contribute to the city's varied character.
