Brentwood

Welcome to Brentwood

Brentwood, Tennessee, is an affluent, family-centric city in Williamson County, located just 15-20 minutes south of downtown Nashville along I-65. Widely regarded as one of the most desirable suburbs in the Nashville region, Brentwood combines upscale Southern elegance, lush wooded neighborhoods, rolling hills, and a polished, low-key lifestyle with exceptional safety and community pride.

From growing families and executives to retirees seeking refined living, Brentwood is consistently ranked among the best places to live in Tennessee and the U.S., thanks to top-tier Williamson County Schools (among the highest-rated districts in the state), very low crime rates, beautiful tree-lined streets, and a strong sense of community. With a population approaching 45,000, the city features prestigious neighborhoods with custom estates, gated communities, and elegant single-family homes, alongside award-winning parks like Crockett Park (playgrounds, sports fields, walking trails, disc golf, and community events), Owl’s Hill Nature Sanctuary (hiking trails and nature programs), and the Brentwood Recreation Complex (fitness center, pools, tennis courts, and programs for all ages).

Residents enjoy upscale shopping and dining at Maryland Farms and Cool Springs Galleria (nearby), fine restaurants and local favorites along Franklin Road, the iconic Brentwood Library, and easy access to Radnor Lake State Park and Percy Warner Park for outdoor recreation. The city’s location offers quick commutes to Nashville’s business districts, healthcare hubs, and entertainment, while maintaining a peaceful, upscale suburban atmosphere with community events, farmers markets, and a thriving local scene.

Brentwood combines exceptional schools, luxurious yet family-friendly living, abundant green spaces, modern conveniences, and proximity to Nashville’s live music, concerts, dining, and attractions—making it both a premier destination and an outstanding place to call home.
