2009-08-19T12:29:05-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have a very nice view.HOWEVER: The maintenance people here are horrible. Terrible. Awful.

2008-12-24T21:35:22-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in Briarwood for 1 years. My experience has been very pleasant. I feel that some of the bad comments are from tenants who expect five star accommodations.

Briarwood Apartments: Bland and overpriced (Not Recommending)

2008-07-02T18:23:02-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Briarwood has been touting all the amazing "upgrades" they've made. Well, my "energy efficient" windows are still drafty. The other upgrades are entirely cosmetic. The interior is out of date, and they use the cheapest possible appliances/fixtures. The office staff is nice, but not amazingly helpful. Repairs are usually completed ...

Dear potential renters:

When you pull into the Briarwood parking lot to inquire about renting, turn tail and RUN the other way! They are pitiful.
