Neighboring communities are hubs of entertainment, and Briarwood has access to them all, but Briarwood itself stays serene. “It's sort of tucked away,” says Mike Noland, a Realtor with PorchLight Realty. “You can feel like, ‘I’m in a cute little suburban neighborhood,’ then you can hop on the freeway and get wherever you need. It’s near everything.” The neighborhood is particularly close to shopping on West Markham Street and entertainment options off Fair Park Boulevard.
