About Brentwood Club Neighborhood
Brentwood Club is a well-regarded residential neighborhood in the southern reaches of Dr. Phillips, accessed via South Apopka Vineland Road approximately 1.5 miles south of Sand Lake Road. The community is geographically nestled between two of the area's notable lakes — Lake Sheen to the west and Big Sand Lake to the east — giving it a pleasant lake-area character while sharing interconnected streets with its neighbor, Bristol Park, to the north. Together, these two established communities form a cohesive residential corridor that defines this part of southern Dr. Phillips.
Homes in Brentwood Club were built primarily between 1991 and 1994, and the neighborhood is characterized by one-third-acre lots with substantial custom architecture featuring Contemporary, Florida, Ranch, and Traditional styles. Living areas typically range from approximately 2,700 to 5,000 square feet, with 4 to 5 bedrooms and 3-car garages as the standard configuration. The community's well-maintained tile roofs, mature oak tree canopy arching over neighborhood streets, and deed restrictions contribute to consistently strong property values and curb appeal that has held up well since the community's development more than three decades ago.
Brentwood Club's community amenities include tennis courts, a basketball court, a playground, sidewalks, and a park — providing family-friendly recreation without the overhead of resort-style amenity fees. The neighborhood's non-gated design and accessible layout make it a popular choice for buyers who want the quality of the Dr. Phillips address in a more open, community-oriented setting. Bay Meadows Elementary School is just 1.3 miles away, and the Walt Disney World resort area is a short drive south — two factors that consistently appeal to families relocating to this part of Orange County.

Brentwood Club HOA & CDD Information
Brentwood Club is governed by a mandatory Homeowners Association responsible for maintaining the community's deed restrictions, common area landscaping, recreational facilities (tennis courts, basketball court, playground, and park), and overall aesthetic standards. The HOA's deed restrictions are a key reason the neighborhood's curb appeal and property values have remained strong over the more than three decades since the community was developed.
Brentwood Club does not carry a Community Development District (CDD) fee, which is a meaningful financial advantage over many newer developments in the Dr. Phillips and Horizon West markets where CDD assessments are standard. The combination of a moderate mandatory HOA and zero CDD fees makes Brentwood Club's annual homeownership cost structure particularly attractive for buyers comparing southern Dr. Phillips communities.
