About Crestwood Hills

Crestwood Hills began in the late 1940s as a cooperative: a group of families pooled their money as the Mutual Housing Association to buy land in the hills above Brentwood and build a modern community together.

Architects A. Quincy Jones and Whitney Smith designed the homes, with engineer Edgardo Contini and landscape architect Garrett Eckbo. About 400 members joined, though about 160 homes were built. The 1961 Bel Air fire destroyed dozens of the originals, and many of those that survive are prized examples of postwar modern design.

Today the Crestwood Hills name also covers the hillside streets around the original cooperative, where more mid-century homes followed through the 1950s and early 1960s.

Signature Features

  • Post-and-beam construction with exposed wood ceilings
  • Clerestory windows and walls of glass to the hillside
  • Homes set into the slope to save the trees and views
  • Shared open space planned with Garrett Eckbo

Buying in Crestwood Hills

  • Ask whether the home is an original Mutual Housing design, a rebuild after the 1961 fire, or later construction.
  • Hillside lots need geology, drainage and fire review; ask about brush clearance.
  • Ask whether the home has a historic designation or a Mills Act contract.
  • Confirm the architect from permits and plans.
