Brentwood Glen Community  

Brentwood Glen, originally named the "Ratteree Tract", is a unique little neighborhood that people often refer to as a "hidden gem."  There are approximately 560 homes, duplexes, triplexes, and apartment buildings, which line the 12 blocks from Sunset Boulevard to Waterford Street.  Stepping into BW Glen is like going back in time to the days when children played in the front lawns, neighbors borrowed milk and sugar and people took walks and knew each other's relatives and dog's names.  All of this still occurs in this quaint little neighborhood in the middle of West Los Angeles.  The strong sense of neighborhood pride is seen through the maintenance and improvements of the homes and the activities and clubs started by the residents in BW Glen.  

There is an annual "Beautification Day", similar to an old-fashioned fair, where a street is closed off in the middle of the Glen and a live jazz trio plays, children ride ponies, chicken and ribs are grilled on a BBQ, plants are sold, and other family related activities occur. There are Wine and Cheese parties at the neighborhood church to welcome the new residents, a Kid Konnection, a Pet Connection, Berwick Buddies, a Neighborhood Crime Watch, a Garden Club, and an annual garage sale which all keep the community connected.

Many homes are being built/rebuilt in BW Glen, mostly 2-story with approximately 3,000 - 4,000 square feet. Families who bought in BW Glen and have outgrown their homes are opting to add a 2^nd story or to remodel completely to give them 4+ bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen/family room ("great room"), and a large master suite, without having to leave the neighborhood. Driving down the streets of BW Glen you will find a sweet little 1,400 square foot home typically built in the mid 1930's- mid 1940's next to a larger, newer, 2-story home which adds to the charm of BW Glen.
