Brick custom homes from the 2000s
While older ranch-style homes sprinkle the north side, newer custom homes are the norm in Briarbrook. These typically date from the early 2000s through today, with most featuring brick facades. Schuber Mitchell, an active builder in the area, owns part of the subdivision and has pre-built new construction homes and lots still available for semi-custom builds. Prices range from around $215,000 on the low end to $650,000 for homes with golf course views. Briarbrook has its own Community Improvement District, meaning residents pay an additional tax. "It goes to maintain the golf course, which in turn maintains the property values," Sneed says.

Direct flights to Chicago and Denver at Joplin Regional Airport
Despite a lack of sidewalks, residents can still walk the wide, low-traffic streets. The Thom Station Trail provides residents with a dedicated walking and biking path north into Carl Junction. State Route 171 is a major east-west connector that leads toward Springfield, about 78 miles east, while State Highway 43 is the main road into Joplin, about 7 miles south. The neighborhood is bordered by train tracks and close to Joplin Regional Airport, which may cause some sound disturbances. The airport is a convenient spot to catch a domestic flight, flying direct to Chicago and Denver.
