True to the vision of its founders, the community of Brentwood in the town of Islip offers a caring and supportive atmosphere for family life with superior educational and service facilities. Volunteerism reaches beyond the immediate area, evidenced by the location of the Long Island Cares Regional Food Bank in Brentwood. In fact, the reputation of Brentwood as a gentle community has attracted even more newcomers to the area, which only widens its sphere of influence. The Brentwood Campus of Long Island University is one of the most highly respected institutions of higher education in the state. Nestled on 200 lush acres, the campus joins the Western Campus of Suffolk County Community College to enrich the community on every level.
