Not every area in Austin can be as cool as downtown, but Brentwood sure can give it a run for its money. It's got the vintage shops you'd expect right along side great local restaurants, like the Noble Pig, popping up almost monthly. The area has become increasingly appealing to young urban professionals who want the energy and options of a big city with the neighborhood feel of a small town.The bungalow style homes in the area are classic Austin and most were built in 1940s and 50s as the area began to grow into what it has become today; a playground for families enjoying a night at Amy's Ice Cream or even singles getting to know each other over a cup of finely roasted coffee at Pacha.
