About Brentwood, Los Angeles

Brentwood is one of L.A.’s most affluent neighborhoods, located on the Westside between Westwood and Santa Monica. Brentwood began as a Mexican land grant ranch sold off by the Sepulveda family. Its modern development started in the 1880s and today it boasts one of the lowest population densities in the city, with lush green pastures and coral trees along its main thoroughfare, San Vicente Boulevard.

Brentwood’s population of roughly 235,000 peppered over the years with affluent professionals, political figures, and celebrities like Harrison Ford, Steve McQueen, Cindy Crawford, Gwyneth Paltrow, Marilyn Monroe, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Brentwood is bordered by famed Mulholland Drive to the north, an area that consists largely of luxe single-family homes; Bel-Air to the east; Mandeville Canyon to the west; and Wilshire Boulevard to the south, where a mix of single-family homes and apartments are predominant in the area south of Sunset Boulevard and mainly apartments fill the area south of San Vicente Boulevard.[/vc_column_text]
