Big homes, in an area that’s big on convenience
Briarwood is a section of Midland that home buyers seeking space may find to be a good fit. This neighborhood is defined by its modern houses with spacious floor plans, many stretching well over 2,000 square feet and all within quick reach of day-to-day amenities. “It’s a nice little neighborhood,” says Laura Sales, a local broker and owner of The Sales Team Realtors who has worked in the Midland market for more than 20 years. “It’s nestled in a very convenient location within the city. It has very quick and easy access to some of the major thoroughfares. It’s a smaller neighborhood, developed now to the point where it’s got lots of nice trees, well-kept and just really a pretty little area.”
Lush, bountiful trees are commonplace in the Briarwood neighborhood.

Houses share similar character
All of Briarwood’s homes were built with brick and stone facades, giving the neighborhood a similar, earth-toned look. Many of these houses start at just over 2,000 square feet and top out at more than 4,000 square feet, with rear-access garages included. “They have that kind of open concept -- large kitchen, large living areas,” says Alli Moore, a local Realtor with Fathom Realty. The neighborhood’s homes were built between the 1990s and the early 2000s, enough time for the oak trees that dot many of the area’s lawns to mature. The lot sizes are around one-fifth of an acre. Price tags are between $400,000 and $600,000.

Midland schools incorporate special programming
Kids in Briarwood attend public schools within the Midland Independent School District, which has a C-plus grade on Niche. Greathouse Elementary has a B grade and offers extracurricular options including a student council and fine arts programming. Students can then explore the robotics or writing clubs at B-minus-rated at Abell Junior High and the business academy or health science academy at Legacy Freshman High. Legacy Senior High also carries a B-minus grade and includes dedicated programs in everything from automotive technology to visual and design arts.
Butler Park is at quick reach
Briarwood residents are just about a mile from the John P. Butler Park and Youth Sports Complex, a 33-acre expanse that includes a playground and picnic areas but is also a draw for athletics. “There’s T-ball and soccer, the Midland Soccer Association will have practices and games [there],” says Moore, a native of the region. Moore also notes that the Bush Tennis Center, which has more than 20 lighted courts, is also just about 2 miles from Briarwood. Bush Tennis Center is a member facility but offers free clinics for kids.

Commercial attractions come around the corner
This neighborhood’s location is highly desired, Moore says, in part because of how close it is to Midland Drive and Loop 250, two hubs for commercial attractions. There’s a Walmart and Target just off Midland Drive, for example, both within about a mile of Briarwood. Also, Taqueria Jalisco is within walking distance for many in the neighborhood, a spot whose breakfast and margaritas are well-regarded. Diners seeking something a little bit out of the box can head about 2 miles down Loop 250 for Kokomo, which Moore says is popular. Kokomo specializes in Korean corn dogs, available stuffed with cheese and coated with Flamin’ Hot Cheetos or potatoes.

Loop 250 links to the rest of the region
Loop 250 and Midland Drive double as key transportation corridors in the area. Travelers can hop on Loop 250 to access Texas State Highway Loop 250 and head toward Midland International Air & Space Port, just about 11 miles away, for commercial flights. Midland Drive can help drivers reach the more than 500-bed Midland Memorial Hospital, 5 miles away. Loop 250 is lined with multiple stops in the area’s EZ-Rider bus system, too.
