Eric Bramlett's Blog: Austin Real Estate

What is now known as the Brentwood neighborhood in Austin, Texas, was once just a pretty cotton farm. Then, in the late 1940s, the City of Austin annexed the farm, which was north of then city limits.

The history of the Scofield Farms community provides an important clue as to why this neighborhood is considered to be one of the most coveted in the Austin area.
