Brentwood
Housing | Points of Interest | Historical Information | TransportationOverview
The Brentwood neighborhood and the smaller enclaves that surround it (Eckington, Edgewood, Fort Lincoln, Gateway, Ivy City, and Langdon) are home to Trinity University and Gallaudet University. Named after a historic Mansion built in the early 1800's on a huge estate, the area has gone through many transformations including the site of a WWI Army staging ground, land being donated to Gallaudet University, a lumber yard, and the current site of many city and government offices as well as a train maintenance facility for WMATA.
The majority of Brentwood is comprised of residential housing, along with some industrial development and office buildings closer towards Downtown. Ivy City is the exception and is known for its Amtrak and WMATA rail facility maintenance yards. Many students attending Gallaudet and Trinity Universities reside in the area. The area is bounded by Eastern Ave to the Northeast, Catholic University and Brookland Neighborhood to the North, New York Ave. to the South, and Shaw Neighborhood to the West.

Housing is found primarily around the universities and in the enclaves of Langdon and Edgewood. Renters can expect to pay a wide range of prices depending on the age of the building and any added amenities. One bedroom apartments start at $800-$900 and go upwards of $1500.
Below are several featured buildings in this neighborhood for consideration. Be sure to check with each apartments' property management company for more information, availability, and current prices. And don't be afraid to contact them! Most renters need to give 30-60 days moving notice. If you know you're moving in the next few months, have them keep track of apartments coming available for you.
