Secretly Lovely
Quite diverse here, like many of the nearby neighborhoods, leafy and quiet. Briarwood still maintains a pretty low profile, so it manages to be inexpensive and a culturally rich place for low-income or middle-class families to raise kids.
Small mom and pop businesses line the streets, snug between detached homes and mid-sized apartment complexes.
