1st of all, that area is HOT! Too hot! Housing is very affortable there, but I would have to contradict one of ^^^ members saying that housing will increase in value. Matter of fact, I think housing values around that area may even decrease in the future due to it's further away location from SF and it's weather being just too hot. And you know global warming is not getting any cooler in the future. Not a ideal location.
Yes, Brentwood cops have not much things to do except for pulling over cars for traffic tickets. It's really quite there now. But it is very different story in Antioch - which is right next to Brentwood. Antioch is like Oakland and Richmond. Antioch cops are really strict. Guess where bad boys will go once they taste Antioch cops fury?
Look some place else.

I do agree with you about Antioch, but i have been living in Brentwood now for 4 years and so far the Antioch people have stayed in Antioch. Brentwood has not allowed section 8 housing to go on, so all those "bad boys" are either going to stay in Antioch or go right back to Richmond. And the whole global warming thing goes for all towns, not just brentwood. It is blistering hot no matter where you go these days. If you go east of Brentwood into the valley it gets even hotter but the price of housing goes down. If you decide to get closer to the bay and SF the temperature will drop, but your price for housing will also go up. That is when you have to pick your poison.. cheaper with a lil extra heat or more expensive with a couple degrees less.

Brentwood is great. Everything you could want is close by. The few things that aren't available yet are coming soon. I can't say anything negative about brentwood besides the heat and the commute. It's really a great place to live. Crime is pretty much non-existent.

Also, housing market in Tracy takes harder plunge compare to area closer to bay. It might be hard for them to move back in to area closer to bay if their housing market doesn't keep up.

I live in Disco bay
The first town south of Brentwood. I moved here from Marin county to be closer to work. Brentwood is a sleepy little town surrounded by farmland. Housing is cheap right now. The area is growing at an exponential rate. New Malls going up everywhere. If you have a few extra bucks and a boat or jet skis you can get a house in disco bay with a deep water lot and access to the the delta, ski beach, and lost isle! I drive Vasco rd every day into Livermore. I leave the house at around 4pm and work till dawn. The trip back is quick. Only 17 miles and no traffic. I feel sorry for anyone that has to make the trip from Livermore to Brentwood between the hours of 4pm and 6pm. Bumper to bumper the entire way.

i live in brentwood as well and i can't find anything negative other than the commute. weather is great and the city is rapidly growing. i think they're making a nordstrom rack out here. iv'e heard they are trying to model it after the walnut creek area. very nice houses and hella MILFS.
as for the commute i have a bike so that helps a lot for the rush hour. hopefully the economy will get better and the houses will be worth something later. its not as bad as people make it out to be. cops dont bother you unless your driving like an idiot...... my .02 cents

^^^It could be worth it if you work there. I think many commute to SF or San Jose for work. With gas prices going up.......

And i don't know if anyone here golfs but there are 4 AMAZING golf courses all within 3 miles of each other.(Roddy Ranch, Brentwood Golf, Shadow Lakes, and Deer Ridge) They have a pretty decent size skate park right next to the water park. And like one of the guys said above, if you have a jet ski or boat, there are like 3 great places to launch out of. Brentwood is pretty chill and i would for sure recommend anyone to come live out here.

I saw that too...
Yea, I'm pretty sure the guy in the lift had me pegged. I've never seen them do that before. All but one of the cops had someone pulled over just before Vasco hit's the twisties over by the dump. I thought for sure the last unit was going to pull me over. I now dub Vasco, "Revenue Lane".
