Gogo's take on Brentwood Common
“Go. Brentwood Common is a quiet, unassuming residential pocket in Northwest San Antonio that is generally safe for everyday visitors and residents. While adjacent commercial corridors experience typical suburban property crimes like vehicle break-ins, the neighborhood interior is low on violent incidents. Practice standard suburban awareness, such as locking car doors and avoiding poorly lit side streets late at night.”
