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.

Property Ratings at Briarwood Apartments
Very spacious 2 beds and very quiet neighborhood kept up really well very friend staff
I've lived here for almost two years and I love it! Friendly staff, great neighbors, and a cozy place to call home.
My fiancé and I moved in in July. When we moved in there was a strong smoke odor in our apartment for weeks, that the complex was slow in coming to check out. When they did they just said they didn't notice it so there wasn't really anything that could be done to fix it. We've been having issues and tried contacting the office on multiple occasions via phone, email, and in person and are either ignored every time or told that the person in charge of complaints isn't in at the moment. This has happened enough times that I think we are just being given a run around so they don't have to deal with the problem. The laundry facilities don't always work and sometimes you can't even get in to do your laundry because the washing machines have moved in front of the door and you cannot get inside. Renewing our lease does not look like it is in our future, as this is not worth the price we pay each month at all. Save yourself a lot of trouble and do NOT live here.

People are friendly. Briarwood staff are friendly and work orientated. I would recommend any one to live here.
Worst place I have ever lived. My wife and I moved in to Briarwood so that we could save some extra money for a house, what a mistake. We paid 100 dollars before moving in for what the office called a "cleaning charge". When looking at the apartment on day 1 it was a disaster, the carpets were a mess, it smelled awful and the sink in the kitchen had a really bad leak which ruined and caused molding under the sink. We called maintenance on day 1 and it took them until the end of the day to come fix it. A few months later our shower started leaking. Calling maintenance at this place or the office is always difficult, you either need to call the emergency line and have someone get back to you hours later or go in the office and hope they aren't on "break". They did not answer any of our calls about the tub leaking until 1 am when they tried to come in our apartment (WHILE WE WERE SLEEPING) because water started dripping through the ceiling under us. They couldn't get in due to the locking chain on the door. When spending all day taking our tub apart they did not fix the leak and told us that they would fix it when they got new parts in about a month or so. Today I walked out into the kitchen to find water all over the floor, the sink is leaking again. Guess who isn't picking up the phone to come fix this. Looks like I will be doing my own maintenance on this apartment until our lease is up (cannot wait for that!) Most of the people I have talked to that live or lived here have told me that it is always been this way. These are just maintenance issues. On the website it says, club house and pool. The club house is made up of 2 offices for the employees and the pool was only open for 1 month in 2012. Laundry onsite and even in the building that we would be staying in seemed like a plus, until we realized that whenever someone does laundry it smokes out the entire stairwell. That is pretty bad considering it's an open stairwell. If you are looking for somewhere cheap to live this is a great place, but keep in mind you get what you pay for (unfriendly staff, no maintenance, lots of maintenance issues and a whole lot of empty promises).
