    "I think Brentwood is a unique neighborhood because it combines so many of the great qualities of Austin as a whole, without being overcrowded or trying too hard. It's hip, with great bars and restaurants, but also really family friendly, with nice parks, solid schools, and the children's museum nearby. It's grown a lot in the past five years or so, but is still on the edge of affordable. It's also just 10—15 minutes north of downtown, so you definitely still feel like part of the city."
  • Tom R.
    "There's easy access to Burnet—and from there 183, 290, MoPac and IH-35. Easy!"
  • Amy C.
    "I currently stay at home with my son, but before having him I had a 20-minute drive into downtown during rush hour. If my car was in the shop, I could ride the bus, though that added at least another 20 minutes to my commute. My husband works up north, so he travels against traffic coming into the city, so it's about a 15—20 minute drive for him."
  • Amy C.
    "This is a really great place to raise kids. Nice parks, great local swim school in the neighborhood. The children's museum is very close by; lots to do with kids of all ages. Lots of family friendly restaurants. Good choice of preschools, solid public school options with lots of parent involvement. It's a safe, friendly place to live."
  • tartarus12am
    "I lived here for a couple years on Roosevelt Avenue. A dead end street with a neighborhood to match that feeling. Run down houses, traffic. This is the pits. "
  • dnagreen
    "This location cannot be beat for quick access to downtown, University of Texas and central Austin shopping and amenities."
  • Christy K.
    "Friendly neighbors, great location - never too far from anything in Austin. Tons of personality in this neighborhood. Brentwood Park is a great place to spend an afternoon. If you're considering moving to the area, visit the Crestview Mini Max and check out Little Deli, those two places and their patrons are the epitome of living here."
