I was trying to avoid writing “Walked Brentwood Today today”. This is a smaller neighborhood appended to the northern part of Brentwood. JR Adams of (AdamsBilt)parcelled the land, built a few homes himself and sold lots to Anderson Homes and individual owners/smaller builders starting in 1979. This has given Brentwood Today a more eclectic look than Brentwood. It includes the traditional Brentwood split-level to a French Colonial to duplexes on the Capital Blvd. end. It was built-out around 1985. BT shares the school, park and clubs with Brentwood.

Next target: Shamrock Meadow.

I have decided to this by neighborhood and chose to start with the one that I grew up in. Brentwood is a moderate-size neighborhood of primarily single family homes. The original developer (AdamsBilt) began building two houses at a time on a small street that he built, now Brentwood Rd., starting around 1955 with a small brick ranch floorplan. They built north and westward until it was built out around 1970. Most of the AdamsBilt houses follow one of three plans: Ranch, Split-level w/transverse gable on left end, and Split-foyer. They all feature at least one level in brick, hardwood floors and (in the post-1965 models except ranches) fireplaces. It also features an elementary school, community park, and a swim club. The main community groups are Brentwood Exchange Club and the Brentwood Neighborhood Association. Next will be Brentwood Today.
