Fine dining and breweries on Briggs Street
Briggs Street is home to fine dining like 24 Carrot Bistro, a farm-to-table spot with a bar that stretches in front of large wooden bookshelves. Ramen eatery Birdhouse lives up to its name with a large mural of birds on its façade and owl-shaped cocktail glasses. Lucile’s Creole Café has authentic beignets, shrimp and grits and other New Orleans staples, while Wapos is an old garage turned Mexican restaurant with tequila bottles lit by neon backlighting. Briggs Street also has two breweries and a handful of boutique clothing spots, sporting goods stores and toy outlets. The Erie Farmers Market is open on Briggs Street each Thursday afternoon, featuring fresh produce, live music and crafts. Grocery spots like Safeway and King Soopers are located a few miles to the south.

Single-family homes in Erie
Housing styles in Old Town Erie vary greatly. “We have everything from old traditional miner cabins from the early 1900s when the town was founded to ranchers from the 1970s and completely remodeled multi-story homes,” says Melton. “Old Town is a little less expensive than other areas of Erie, regardless of housing style.” Single-family homes in the area are priced between $330,000 and $565,000, and condos are priced around $420,000. Homes tend to sit on large lots with mature oak trees shading wide sidewalks. Roads are quiet, and street parking may be necessary as many properties don’t have attached garages. Wildfires are possible in the area, so homes should be clear of debris.

Walking at Coal Creek Park
Coal Creek Park, just east of Briggs Street, spans 6.7-acres, including walking trails, picnic shelters and Maddie’s Playground, a play structure named to honor the memory of Erie resident Maddie McDaniel. The park has a splash pad during the summer and an ice rink in winter. Reliance Park is located just north of the neighborhood and has its own dog park, the Boneyard. Youth ballgames are held at Erie Community Park, less than 2 miles south of the neighborhood. The park also has a skating area and a pump track popular with BMX bikers.

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.
