Central Odessa neighborhood with friendlier prices near downtown

The Brentwood neighborhood offers lower prices than several other areas in Odessa while being just a couple of miles from downtown. "It is a very good place for a first-time homeowner," says Chantell Rhea, a Black Orchid Real Estate broker with nearly 10 years of experience. The oil boom in West Texas makes the gas and oil fields in the Permian Basin a prominent employer, but it doesn't always mean people staying for a long time. "It is a great place to live and make money," Rhea says.

Brentwood offers Odessa's finest suburban living with a peaceful ambiance.

Brick and vinyl ranch-style homes

Ranch-style homes with brick or vinyl siding line the streets of Brentwood. Most houses include a garage or a driveway on lots ranging from, on average, 6,500 square feet to 7,500 square feet. Houses in the area cost between $100,000 for a cottage built in the 1950s and $170,000 for a mid-century ranch with a backyard and front porch. "The housing market is pretty stable, mostly benefitting sellers right now," Rhea says. Sidewalks along the neighborhood streets make it easy to go out for an afternoon stroll.
