A classic, relaxed Austin neighborhood

Situated in north central Austin, Brentwood has a classic neighborhood feel without sacrificing location. “It’s a relaxed neighborhood that has walkable streets and trails, all shaded by mature trees,” says Ryan Gomillion, a Realtor with Copland Property Group who’s been selling in the area since 2016. “You can find many parks and schools in the neighborhood, as well as several restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries and hangouts.” The city of Austin annexed the area's land in the 1940s and many of the pitched-roof bungalows still standing today were built and inhabited by GIs returning from the war.

A wide range of property types and prices

While condos, bungalows and Craftsman-style homes are popular here, there are also many new, custom-builds. “You can find just about every size, shape, color and style home in Brentwood. Most of the neighborhood consists of historic homes that have been renovated or updated,” Gomillion says. "Homes and condos are currently priced between $300,000-$2,200,000. Brentwood has a wide range of property types and prices, making it an area most buyers can consider.” The yards here tend to be sizable and typically well-kept, and the streets throughout are great for walking. In addition to the single-family residences, there are several apartment complexes in Brentwood. Roughly 4 miles from the University of Texas campus, the neighborhood is popular with students as a convenient alternative to on-campus housing.

Popular spots on Burnet Road and West Koenig Lane

Many of the neighborhood’s popular spots rest along Burnet Road including Monkey Nest Coffee and Pinthouse Pizza — a favorite of Gomillion’s that offers an “Off the Map Pie” with new combinations and flavors that rotate monthly. Right down the road, residents can visit the H-E-B for all their grocery shopping needs. West Koenig Lane is home to the sandwich shop Bird Bird Biscuit, Brentwood Social House coffee shop and small shops like Honey Hill Market, a vintage clothing store.

Neighborhood events create a close-knit community

The Brentwood Neighborhood Association, Brentwood Elementary and the non-profit Violet Crown Community Works organize multiple local events throughout the year, including neighborhood-wide yard sales, a Labor Day parade, Oktoberfest and even public art installations. In 2023, the annual holiday lighting of the luminarias celebrated its 28th anniversary.

10th Best High School for the Arts in Texas

Brentwood is in the Austin Independent School District, with many children attending Brentwood Elementary and Lamar Middle, an arts magnet school that feeds into McCallum High, which was ranked 10th in Best High Schools for the Arts in Texas. It is home to the district's Fine Arts Academy. However, the 1950s building is often reported as having problems with leaking ceilings and rodents. All schools receive an A-minus or higher rating on Niche.
