Where suburbia meets farmland in the deep East Bay

In Brentwood Villages, suburban subdivisions extend out to the wide-open fields, farms and cherry orchards of Contra Costa County. The neighborhood features spacious, contemporary homes, public parks and a shopping plaza, but the countryside is so close that it feels almost rural. It’s also relatively affordable for the area, says local Realtor Brian Sharp of Sharp Realty, a longtime Brentwood resident. “It’s one of the cheaper neighborhoods in town. The location is great, with schools, parks and shopping. It has easy access to get out of town to the south,” Sharp says.

Contemporary homes built in the last 30 years

Brentwood Villages is made up of several planned subdivisions built between the 1990s and the early 2000s. Contemporary style homes with red-tiled rooftops and stucco walls are the most common home design here and typically range from about 1,200 square feet to 3,000 square feet. Homes stand along wide residential streets lined with sidewalks, manicured lawns and trees. “The lots tend to be smaller than average, which is a benefit to some people,” says Sharp, who was born and raised in the area. Lots are usually between 3,000 and 5,000 square feet, offering enough lawn space for gardening and landscaping without too much upkeep. Prices range from $650,000 to $800,000. “Because it’s the lower end of the price range, they will sell a little quicker,” Sharp says.

Walk to community parks and the local farmer’s market

The neighborhood has sidewalks on every street, making it easy to get around on foot. Walnut Park is the largest park in the neighborhood and has a playground and plenty of grassy space for a picnic or a game of catch. Residents also walk up to First Street for Brentwood’s weekly farmers’ market. “A lot of local farmers bring their goods in,” Sharp says. The farmers’ market is held on Saturdays year-round and is full of dozens of vendors. Just south of the community, there are more than a few “U-pick” cherry orchards where people can fill up a basket full of fresh cherries, picked straight off the branch.

Getting around the East Bay

One of the advantages of Brentwood Villages’ location is its convenience for commuters. State Route 4 is about 3 miles away and offers a connection to other nearby cities like Livermore, Pleasanton and Dublin. Brentwood Villages is about 47 miles east of Oakland and 55 miles east of San Francisco.
