About the City of Brentwood:

With its sprawling fields, beautiful parks, and welcoming residential communities, Brentwood is one of the fastest-growing cities in Tennessee. The city was incorporated in 1969 with a population of just over 3,000 and is now home to over 40,000 residents. Brentwood’s proximity to Nashville yet the residential feel is a big part of what makes the city so inviting to those moving to the area. One of Brentwood’s earliest goals as a city was to establish a “low-density residential community.” Today, approximately 90 percent of the city is considered residential with only one home per acre of land.
