Welcome to Brentwood:
A Fairfax Gem Since 1976
Nestled in the heart of Fairfax County, Brentwood is a close-knit community established in 1976. Comprising 72 homes along Appling Valley, Goodwood, Novak, and parts of Village and Larry, Brentwood was designed with community spirit at its core. The Brentwood Civic Association, formed alongside the neighborhood’s inception, has been instrumental in fostering this spirit by organizing events like picnics, chili cook-offs, and Halloween parades.
The neighborhood’s development mirrors the post-World War II suburban expansion that characterized much of Fairfax County. This period saw a surge in residential communities catering to families seeking proximity to Washington, D.C., while enjoying the tranquility of suburban life.
Brentwood’s real estate reflects its enduring appeal. Homes here average around 2,560 square feet, with properties often selling swiftly due to high demand. The community’s commitment to maintaining its charm and cohesion ensures that Brentwood remains a sought-after locale for both new and long-time residents.
