Briarwood is bordered by Lovers Lane on the south, Inwood to the east, Horseshoe Trail & Briarwood Place to the north and Elsby Avenue on the west.

The neighborhood was established in the late 1930s by the Elsby family on the site of the former Bluffview Dairy. Today we are fortunate to have Bluffview Park, a great meeting place for young families and dog lovers, right in our own backyard.

Within walking distance, the restaurants and shops along Lovers Lane not only provide great food, shopping and entertainment, but many also support Briarwood Crime Watch Neighborhood Association. We hope you will take a look at our "Businesses" link and let them know you are from Briarwood when you stop in!
