Austin Neighborhoods
Brentwood
Mid-century North Central Austin with room to grow.
Brentwood sits in the heart of North Central Austin, roughly between Lamar and Burnet north of Justin Lane. It is a post-war neighborhood of single-story homes on generous, flat lots, and it has been one of the more active renovation and redevelopment markets in Central Austin for years. Buyers here are typically choosing between an original mid-century home, a thoughtfully updated one, and new construction on a teardown lot, sometimes on the same block.

Living in Brentwood
Brentwood Park is the centre of the neighborhood, with a pool, playground, and open field that get genuine daily use. The Burnet Road corridor along the western edge has become one of the better casual food and drink strips in the city, and the Violet Crown Trail gives cyclists a route south toward downtown. The neighborhood is close enough to The Domain and the north tech employers to shorten that commute considerably while still sitting well inside Central Austin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Brentwood in Austin?
Brentwood sits in North Central Austin, roughly between Lamar and Burnet north of Justin Lane. It is close enough in for a Central Austin commute and far enough out for flat, generous lots.
What kind of houses are in Brentwood?
Post-war single-storey homes on generous, flat lots. The flatness matters more than it sounds: it makes additions and rebuilds simpler here than on the hillside neighborhoods west of MoPac.
What is at Brentwood Park?
A pool, a playground, and an open field, and all three get genuine daily use. It sits at the centre of the neighborhood rather than on the edge of it.
What is on Burnet Road near Brentwood?
The Burnet Road corridor along the western edge has become one of the better casual dining strips in Austin. The Violet Crown Trail also runs near the neighborhood, which is the car-free route south.
What ZIP code is Brentwood?
Brentwood spans 2 ZIP codes: 78756 and 78757. ZIP boundaries and neighborhood boundaries are drawn separately and do not align, so a portal search filtered to one ZIP can hide part of a neighborhood.
Does Brentwood have an HOA?
No mandatory neighborhood-wide HOA. The Brentwood Neighborhood Association is voluntary. Individual condo and townhome projects within the boundaries may have their own HOA, and some lots carry original deed restrictions, so the title commitment on a specific property governs.
What schools are near Brentwood?
Brentwood Elementary School on 6703 Yates Ave and Lamar Middle School on 6201 Wynona St stand in or beside the neighborhood. That is where the campuses are, not a statement about who attends them. Austin ISD assigns schools by street address, and assignments can change. Check the current one for a specific property with Austin ISD School Finder, which is the authoritative source. We do not publish attendance zones, because a zone we printed last year is not a zone you can rely on this year.
