Brentwood is a sunny, family-friendly East Bay town with a small-city feel—think farmers’ markets, orchards, casual restaurants, nearby wineries, Delta waterways, parks and Mt. Diablo for hiking—making it an easy, pleasant base for multi-week assignments with enough local outdoor and community life to keep you engaged.
For bigger-city options, Oakland and San Francisco are an easy drive for museums, nightlife and major airports, while Sacramento offers riverfront dining and cultural attractions—each within roughly 75 miles for weekend escapes.
