The story of the Brentwood Historic District
How the area came to be.
Brentwood grew from six plats: McDowell Heights (1924, L.W. and Anna Greer), Brentwood (1928, Jesse E. Dowell), East Brentwood (1928, W.T. Machan), Wright Davis (1938), Valley of the Sun (1944) and Governor Hunt (1946). Many homes were built during World War II despite material limits because Phoenix was a designated war industry area, most by the Phoenix Housing Company (J.R. Womack). The LDS stake center at 1725 E Brill St (1947 to 1949) is the only original non residential building.

Before you buy
Properties inside a City of Phoenix HP overlay district need Historic Preservation review (a Certificate of Appropriateness) for most exterior work, new construction and demolition; interior work is generally not reviewed. Confirm the specific parcel is inside the HP overlay and whether it is contributing. Phoenix requires short term rental permits under its own ordinance; state law limits how far cities can restrict STRs. Older homes: check for original electrical, cast iron or clay sewer laterals, and irrigation rights (SRP flood irrigation is common in central Phoenix historic neighborhoods). All of this is address specific.
