Brentwood: The City That Feels Like Home

City of Brentwood

With its sprawling fields, multiple parks, and welcoming residential communities, Brentwood is a community that exemplifies meticulous planning to preserve the community’s rolling landscape and green spaces. The city was incorporated in 1969 with a population of just over 3,000 and is now home to over 45,000 residents. Brentwood is located only a few miles south of Nashville’s downtown, 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.

Location

Brentwood is located approximately nine miles south of Nashville in Williamson County. Access to I-65 makes it ideal for residents in Brentwood to commute or travel.

Good-To-Know

Water and Sewer Services
In Brentwood, the city supplies water but does not handle sewer treatment services. Instead, sewer services are managed by Nashville Metro Water Services. As a result, you’ll receive two separate bills—one from the City of Brentwood for water and another from Metro Water for sewer. This arrangement is common in suburban areas.
Trash and Recycling Services
Brentwood does not provide municipal trash collection. Residents need to arrange trash and recycling services through a private waste management company.
