A drive through the neighborhood with me talking through what to look for. Coming soon.

What is Brentwood?

Brentwood, sold new as Brentwood Park, sits west of Moody Street around Ball Road. It was built from 1961 to 1965 at four plans, 300, 400, 600, and 700, each with three named elevations: Montclair, Lexington, and Belhaven on the 300; Concord, Kensington, and Westchester on the 400; Fairfield, Hampshire, and Briarcliff on the 600; Hillcrest, Brookdale, and Greenwich on the 700. The original sizes that repeat in CRMLS are about 1,050, 1,145, 1,205, and 1,250 square feet, 3 and 4 bedrooms, on about 6,000 square foot lots. There is no HOA.

That combination, the smallest house in the city on a full-size lot, is what makes Brentwood the entry point for a detached home in Cypress. It is also why so many Brentwood homes have been added onto. In my experience, people who buy here want to stay here, and when they outgrow the house they build on instead of selling. About a third of recent listings were at a size that matches no original plan.

What schools serve Brentwood?

Two districts serve Cypress: the Cypress School District for grades K through 6 and the Anaheim Union High School District for 7 through 12. Boundaries vary street by street inside a subdivision, so check your exact address with each district. Ratings, the principal interviews, and the full school list are on the Cypress guide.
