Village Atmosphere

Brentwood History

The land that would become Brentwood was originally part of Mexican land grants, vast ranchos that defined early California before statehood. In the late 1880s, the area began its transformation when developers platted a residential community initially known as "Westgate," marketing it as a peaceful retreat from the growing city center.

Through annexation and steady community growth, Westgate eventually became Brentwood. The arrival of the Pacific Electric Railway, combined with the establishment of the Veterans Administration campus along Wilshire Boulevard in 1888, accelerated residential development. By the 1920s and 1930s, prominent architects were designing estate homes in the neighborhood, establishing the architectural legacy that endures today.

The 1932 Summer Olympics brought international attention when modern pentathlon events were held in the area. In the decades that followed, Brentwood evolved into one of Los Angeles' most coveted residential neighborhoods, attracting Hollywood luminaries, industry leaders, and families drawn to its combination of natural beauty, excellent schools, and refined living.
