Nestled in the heart of Fairfax County, Brentwood is a close-knit community established in 1976. Comprising 72 distinct homes along the serene stretches of Appling Valley, Goodwood, Novak, and key portions of Village and Larry, Brentwood was designed with community spirit at its core.
The neighborhood's development mirrors the post–World War II suburban expansion that characterized much of Fairfax County — a period that saw a surge in residential communities catering to families seeking proximity to Washington, D.C., while enjoying the tranquility of suburban life.
The heart of our neighborhood beat resides in the Civic Association. Formed alongside the neighborhood's inception, it has been instrumental in fostering community spirit — organizing the picnics, chili cook-offs, and Halloween parades that make Brentwood, Brentwood. It ensures every resident feels heard and every yard feels like home.
“More than just neighbors, we are a family by choice.”
