Brentwood LocationLocated within a few miles of the Pacific Ocean, Brentwood enjoys one of the best climates in LA for air quality. Brentwood is populated with health conscious habitants, many of whom run the approximate 5-mile stretch of San Vicente Boulevard to the ocean and back. Throughout the day, you will see people jogging San Vicente, including recognizable actors, soccer moms, and athletes. Among Realtors, Brentwood is known as the “Camelot” of Los Angeles because of its fine homes and high quality of life – not to mention its affluent prices. For entertainment professionals and business executives, Brentwood is a place to be “under the radar.” Many of Brentwood’s residents enjoy the country clubs for golf, and the beach clubs located on the sand — such as the Jonathan Club or The Bel Air Bay Club. If you choose to join, prepare to hone your paddle ball skills because the courts and competition are poised to welcome you. The Brentwood MystiqueBrentwood homes offer a variety of architectural styles and mostly single-family homes, and large parcels of land on which to spread out. Prices for homes in Bentwood range from just under one million to over 20 million dollars. There are some condominiums in Brentwood that make the location much more affordable for those wanting the Brentwood lifestyle. Brentwood public schools are well respected by Los Angeles standards and a cadre of prominent (and expensive) private schools are known for boasting students entry into every Ivy League school in the nation. Shops in Brentwood are quaint, stylish and plentiful in such locations as The Brentwood Country Mart and along San Vicente Boulevard (Brentwood’s main thoroughfare) with its signature majestic coral trees. Fine dining is one of Brentwood’s best entertainment attributes, punctuated by a host of superior Italian eateries that dot the landscape, with wonderful epicurean specialties in a variety of settings. Every community in Los Angeles has its own particular challenges, and perhaps the biggest issue with the wonderful community of Brentwood is the traffic heading East on any given weekday of the school year. Sunset Boulevard, San Vicente Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard serve as the three main arteries to transport you from the West past the 405 freeway towards points east. Starting around 3pm during the week, the congestion of cars starts to mount and there can be delays. Those in the “know” can offer suggestions (should you wisely choose this location to live) as to how to better navigate the limited short cuts and — more to the point — the best lanes to get into when you must enter this fray. It is true that Beverly Hills has its own mystique, but for Angelenos who want every bit of cache in understated elegance, Brentwood is a prime choice. Per capita incomes and educational degrees are robust and star-studded entertainment personalities reside behind lush landscapes — making Brentwood a true destination location in Los Angeles. If you are considering Los Angeles as a place to live and you can afford the freight of entry, Brentwood will probably be on your list of locations to consider – especially if you are seeking a feeling of community and a quality lifestyle.
