LOCATION:
The City of Brentwood is bordered by Mount Diablo and Delta waterways, with the greater Bay Area and several commercial centers in Contra Costa County nearby. Brentwood is surrounded by 11,644 acres of agricultural preserve and it offers one of the few remaining areas in the San Francisco Bay Area with affordable housing in a rural environment.
DESCRIPTION:
Brentwood is the fastest growing
city in the nine-county Bay Area. Our community offers all the
amenities of a big city, including:
· 1.2 million square feet of high-end lifestyle retail.
· Top-rated golf courses, wineries, and cultural attractions.
· State-of-the-art office, flex and industrial space.
· Quality housing for employees and executives.
· Outstanding educational facilities.
Yet Brentwood also provides the welcoming atmosphere of a small town, located in one of the most beautiful natural settings in Northern California. The historic downtown is a popular place to enjoy independent restaurants and boutiques – and it has become even more vibrant thanks to the new Civic Center, public library, and other projects. The family-friendly neighborhoods offer award-winning schools, parks, and a lifestyle close to nature.
Brentwood has a strategic location where four important regions come together: the Bay Area, Tri-Valley, Delta, and Central Valley. John Muir Health, Safeway, and other companies have regional offices here. The city has premium development sites, adjacent to Highway 4, available at some of the most competitive prices in the region. The city government is fiscally strong, business-friendly, and offers fast-responding service.
