A prime location for downtown commuters and trades workers
In Brentwood Park, wide streets and sidewalks offer the usual suburban streetscape, but this side of town is known, too, for its industrial footprint, about 3 miles down Coliseum Boulevard or 5 miles east to New Haven. “It’s definitely blue collar,” says Broker Tim Tower of Century 21 Bradley Realty, Inc. Perhaps most important is that homes in this neighborhood are priced relatively accessibly, especially considering how many restaurants and shops appear along Coliseum Boulevard, the thoroughfare.
Free libraries can be found near Brentwood Park.
