The neighborhood is bordered to the south by Interstate 630, which can take drivers 5 miles into downtown Little Rock. It is a car-dependent neighborhood. Rock Region Metro bus stops along West Markham Street connect riders with the rest of the area. The neighborhood is less than 2 miles from CHI St. Vincent Infirmary and about 10 miles from Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport.The Little Rock Zoo showcases Penguin Pointe
While the residential community does not have many green spaces within its borders, several parks are within a few miles drive. That includes the Little Rock Zoo, which is off Fair Park Boulevard and looks after more than 700 animals across its 33 acres. Twice-daily feedings in the zoo’s Penguin Pointe exhibit are a highlight. Boyle Park encourages fishing in its waters and has bike trails for cyclists, plus a playground. Kanis Park can hold pickleball tournaments across its six courts and has a skate park. The Jim Dailey Fitness and Aquatic Center sees more than 200,000 people use its amenities each year, including indoor lap pools.Park Avenue Shopping Center is a retail destination
Briarwood is home to the Park Avenue Shopping Center, which holds retail stores like Target and well-known chain restaurants like Panera Bread and Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen. Across the neighborhood’s northern border of West Markham Street is Park Plaza, which has department stores like Dillard’s and other specialty stores. These two shopping centers take care of most retail needs, and a Kroger on the west side of the neighborhood provides groceries. While all of the restaurants in the community are national chains, restaurants with more local flavor sit along Cantrell Road just north of the neighborhood. One such location, All Aboard Restaurant and Grill, delivers its burgers and sandwiches to tables via toy trains.

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.
