Briargate’s streets and sidewalks are well-kept. Private driveways are common, each with enough space for at least two cars. Simple split-level and ranch-style houses with attached garages were built in the late 1980s and early 1990s on tenth-acre lots, though some newer homes were built in the same style. Prices range between $180,000 and $280,000.

The playground, which opened in 2011, is Indiana's first such facility, and inspired by the ideas of an 11-year-old girl. Briargate residents might also stretch their legs on the River Greenway which follows the curve of the scenic Maumee River.

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.
