Welcome to Brentwood Park in Bel Air, Maryland
Are you exploring neighborhoods in Bel Air? I’m Leigh Kaminsky, your local REALTOR at BelAirRealtor.com, and I’d like to introduce you to Brentwood Park — a mature, well-established section of Bel Air where a range of housing types meets convenience and community character.
Overview & Character 
Brentwood Park sits comfortably inside the Bel Air area in Harford County. It’s a neighborhood that blends single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums, offering options for many types of buyers.
You’ll find houses here in a variety of architectural styles — modest to larger footprints — typically on well-sized lots. Some properties include mature trees, landscaped yards, and pleasant setbacks from the street. The condo and townhome segments add density without sacrificing access to green space.
One resident shared, “I moved here for the quiet evenings and the fact that I’m still just a few minutes from downtown Bel Air.” That kind of personal connection reflects what many people appreciate here.
Why Consider Brentwood Park?
Below are some of the advantages people often appreciate when considering a move here:
Proximity & Accessibility: Many homes are just minutes from the historic downtown of Bel Air, with its shops, restaurants, and municipal services. It’s also reasonably close to major roads that lead to Baltimore, Interstate 95, and surrounding areas.
Variety of Housing Options: Whether you’re seeking a smaller condo, a low-maintenance townhouse, or a full single-family home with yard space, there are choices in Brentwood Park. This flexibility appeals to people in different stages of life or with different space needs.
Mature Landscaping & Green Space: Because the area is well established, many properties benefit from mature plantings, shade trees, and a feeling of settled surroundings. Sidewalks, street trees, and occasional open corridors help give it a lived-in, stable feel.
Local Amenities Nearby: You’re close to conveniences like shopping, medical facilities, dining, and parks. Bel Air’s downtown is walkable or easily drivable, and nearby public services are accessible.
About Bel Air & Local History
Bel Air itself has a storied past. Originally known as “Scott’s Old Fields,” the town was part of a land grant dating to 1731 and was named “Belle Aire” in 1782 when it became the seat of Harford County. Over time, the name evolved to “Bel Air.” The town was officially incorporated in 1874, and its downtown historic district still reflects that legacy.
In the early 20th century, fires challenged parts of the downtown core (notably in 1900, 1942, and again in 1972), prompting rebuilding and cautious urban planning. The former Bel Air Racetrack, once located just north of Baltimore Pike, closed in 1962, and that land was repurposed for retail and community use.
Brentwood Park, as part of the Bel Air area, benefited from the post-World War II expansion of roads, residential building, and the growth of suburban patterns. Over decades, the neighborhood matured and blended with the broader fabric of Bel Air’s growth.
Schools
Some buyers ask about school assignments. Public schools serving the general Bel Air area include elementary, middle, and high schools operated by Harford County Public Schools. However, school boundary lines can and do change over time — I strongly advise prospective buyers to verify with HCPS or check their own address in current boundary maps before relying on any school assignment information.
