What kind of homes are in Briarwood
This midcentury streetcar suburb is a quiet area lushly lined with mature trees. Developers completed building out Briarwood by the 1950s, so homes here reflect those styles. “The area is a niche of diversity; there are many different styles of homes and people from all walks of life here,” says Realtor and lifelong Columbus resident Carson Paris with Coldwell Banker Kennon, Parker, Duncan and Davis. There are Craftsman-style bungalows, shingle cottages, Cape Cod homes, Tudor Revival-inspired houses and ranch-style homes. Across these styles, prices range from the high $80,000s to the low $200,000s. There’s also a significant number of renters, and properties are available for investment.
