Briarwood
Condo living with pools, parks and private parking
High-rise and ranch-style condos dominate Briarwood’s housing stock. Buyers can find studios up to three-bedroom, three-bath options in small, walkable communities boasting amenities like pools, playgrounds, tennis courts and private parking. You’ll find some condos bordering Cranbrook Park, providing a peaceful oasis from the hustle and bustle. Those tend to be the higher-priced options, reaching up to $600,000. The average price range in Briarwood typically falls between $235,000 and $450,000.Strong academics and extracurriculars at Pioneer High School
Highly rated schools add to Briarwood’s appeal. Bryant Elementary School, Pattengill Elementary School, Tappan Middle School and Pioneer High School have each earned an A-minus or better from Niche. Students in kindergarten through second grades attend Bryant Elementary before filtering into Pattengill Elementary for third through fifth grades. Pioneer High School is not only regarded for its academics but also for its extracurricular activities, with 20 state titles in women’s track and field and an award-winning theatre guild.Ann Arbor’s largest retail hub surrounds Briarwood Mall
Connectivity is common in Briarwood due to a sprawling network of sidewalks leading to surrounding amenities. Among them is Briarwood Mall, where you can shop for the latest deals at big box retailers like J. Crew and Macy’s or pick up some gear for a Michigan game at The M Den. Several other small shopping complexes are dotted throughout the neighborhood housing specialty stores, grocers and local eateries. Mingle with friends over a cup of coffee and cinnamon monkey bread at family-owned Anna’s House, known as much for its vibrant atmosphere and colorful décor as the unique breakfast dishes on the menu. At Momo Sushi, locals rave about the fresh and flavorful poke bowls and sushi burritos. If you’d rather eat at home, there is a Whole Foods Market and Busch’s Fresh Food Market within reach.Parks with playgrounds are tucked between urban development
Before or after a shopping trip at Briarwood Mall, you can take the kids to Waymarket Park, which sits adjacent to the expansive shopping center. The small green space is essentially split down the middle. One half of the park is a bit more serene, with small walking trails, open space and views of a pond. The other half encompasses a playground and swings where kids can burn off some energy. Cranbrook Park is also within walking distance. Along with a playground on site, residents frequent the 16-acre park’s trails to stretch their legs, shoot hoops on the basketball court or gather with friends at the picnic tables. The park also connects to South Main Street, giving you a pathway to the University of Michigan’s Big House stadium.Easy access to Interstate 94 out to Detroit
Interstate 94 also runs along Briarwood’s southern end, providing access to Detroit, which sits a little more than 40 miles east. The Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is about 20 miles east. Downtown Ann Arbor is just over 3 miles away. Surrounded by shopping options and easily accessible to I-94, Briarwood makes for a convenient place to call home.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
