Brentwood is a thriving community located in the heart of St. Louis County, just
south of the county seat, Clayton, Missouri, and 1.5 miles west of the City of St.
Louis. Brentwood is minutes from area attractions, such as Forest Park, the Saint
Louis Science Center, the Saint Louis Art Museum and the world-renowned Saint Louis
Zoo, and is in close proximity to I-170, I-44 and I-64.
The City of Brentwood is a progressive community – one that’s moving
forward while still maintaining an atmosphere that keeps us unique. Known as the
“City of Warmth” to our residents, Brentwood offers both small town
charm and a sense of community.
World-Class Amenities, Small Town Fun
The city’s annual festival, “Brentwood Days,” brings the community
together in Brentwood Park each September for live entertainment, great food, free
carnival rides and games, and an exciting fireworks show. Brentwood’s Parks
& Recreation Department offers fitness and educational classes, an indoor ice
rink and sports leagues. Residents age 55 and over, or those with disabilities,
can access free transportation to shopping, doctor’s visits or other destinations
throughout the area via the City’s MAGIC bus service.
Brentwood is a premier residential community. Our city offers a wide diversity of
housing options, including single family homes in a variety of desirable housing
styles, and upscale, yet affordable, condominium developments and apartments. Brentwood
is a full-service community that provides fully-staffed police and fire departments,
city-owned and operated residential trash and curbside recycling services, and one-stop-shop
licensing and permitting. With our housing quality and variety, beautiful neighborhoods,
and ample parks and walking trails, the quality of life in Brentwood is unsurpassed
in the region.
Opportunities for Businesses
The City of Brentwood encompasses a mere 2.5 square miles, yet is packed full of
advantages as a business and employment center. As part of the mid-county employment
hub, the city’s daytime population is approximately 22,000, nearly triple
the residential population. Our central location in the region, as well as our proximity
to major research hospitals, universities and downtown St. Louis, are reasons many
technology and life-science businesses have located here, many of them in Hanley
Industrial Park. For many of our national retailers, Brentwood is the location of
their best performing store in the region.
The benefits to living, working, shopping, playing and doing business in Brentwood
are endless.
