It's Time To Visit Brentwood, NY! User Rating 4 rating By Anonymous ( Mar 23, 2012) When I lived in Brentwood I noticed that there was quite a bit of attractions to tend to. This is one of those cities that you will enjoy for the vast number of attractions. There are golf parks, sport centers, tours, and much more. There were also many community attractions in t ...Read More he area. Some of these included libraries, community parks, and community programs. This is a very community oriented city, you will enjoy this if you're choosing to relocate. There are very many fast food restaurants if you are just looking for a quick bite to eat. There are also numerous dine in restaurants. Even though there are not as many dine in there are still plenty to suite anybody's needs. I didn't see many places to enjoy nightlife while there. I mean there is a couple, which I guess is all you need. If you are looking for more of the nightlife category then there are quite a few places about 15-20 away. It's not directly in Brentwood but it's worth the drive. When needing to go shopping there were a few stores and thrift shops but not very many options. There is a mall not too far away but not in Brentwood. There are enough shops to get by but nothing to extravagant.

So as you can see some aspects of Brentwood are better than others. While you're there definitely make sure to check out the attractions and community events! Read Less
