Briarwood, Little Rock, Arkansas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Briarwood is a neighborhood in central Little Rock, Arkansas. The neighborhood includes a number of subdivisions developed during the 1950s and early 60s. Its boundaries are West Markham Street to the north, Interstate-630 to the south, University Avenue to the east and Cunningham Lake Road to the west.[1]

Commercial redevelopment has started in the neighborhood. On the east side, the University Mall (built as an enclosed mall in 1967) was demolished in the spring of 2008[3] and the site is scheduled to be redeveloped and opened as the Park Avenue lifestyle center in late 2009. Residential revelopment is not far behind. Many Briarwood homes have been recently updated with double-glazed windows and modern kitchens.
