Town of Brentwood

4300 39th Place
301-927-3344

Incorporated in 1922, the Town of Brentwood is an economically and culturally diverse community whose 2800 new and longtime residents live in 700 single family homes and several apartment complexes nestled between Queens Chapel Road and U.S. Rte. 1, just outside the Nation’s Capital.

Brentwood is one of four municipalities along Rte. 1 to be designated as part of the Gateway Arts District, and as such is working with the Gateway Community Development Corporation to implement revitalization along the Rte. 1 Corridor. This revitalization, over the next few years, is expected to bring historic preservation events and tourism opportunities to the area, and to attract quality businesses to each of the four towns involved.

The town maintains two beautiful parks -- Bartlett Park, which houses the town hall, a gazebo for cultural events, and playground equipment in a tree shrouded environment; and Veterans Memorial Park, a small but well-landscaped site that provides a serene and meditative setting for honoring residents and former residents who have served in the armed forces of our nation.

The town's two major vehicular arteries are augmented by public bus lines within easy reach of three metro stations, each of which can transport residents to anywhere in the Washington, D.C. area.
