Brentwood is an upscale district on the west side of the City of Los Angeles.
Annexed in 1916, Brentwood is bordered by Santa Monica, West Los Angeles, Bel Air, UCLA and Westwood Village. Major thoroughfares are San Vicente Boulevard, which is the "Main Street" of Brentwood, Barrington Avenue and Sunset Boulevard.
Brentwood's terrain is mostly flat around San Vicente Boulevard but becomes more rugged as one heads north towards the mountains (especially north of Sunset Boulevard).
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger lives in the hills above Brentwood, as do a variety of other notables. Brentwood was the site of the notorious murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
