Briar, TX Homes for Rent

Briar, TX, is a lakeside community situated between Tarrant, Parker, and Wise counties in North Texas. Originally an agricultural area, Briar has evolved into a recreational retreat since the construction of Eagle Mountain Lake in the 1930s. The lake, located over 5 miles southeast, offers activities such as sailing, kayaking, and water skiing, and is surrounded by numerous RV parks. The Boyd Raceway and River Valley Motocross provide additional attractions for thrill-seekers. Briar Creek Business Park features Backyard Cages for young baseball players, while Knob Hill Road hosts several churches. Housing options in Briar range from older fixer-uppers and mobile homes on large lots to traditional and contemporary homes with brick exteriors and lakefront properties with boat slips. The absence of a homeowners association allows residents to design their homes freely. Dining options include R&N Smokin Sweet Savour BBQ and two Mexican restaurants, while basic groceries can be found at the local Dollar General. For more extensive shopping and dining, residents often travel to nearby Azle. Education is served by three school districts: Azle ISD, Boyd ISD, and Springtown ISD, all of which have high ratings. Briar is car-dependent, with Farm-To-Market Road 730 and Texas State Highway 199 providing access to nearby towns and the Fort Worth Stockyards. The Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is approximately 40 miles east.
