Welcome to Brentwood

A Fairfax Gem
Since 1976

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.
