Brier

Brier Main Photo

brier waBrier is characterized by large, wooded, single-family home sites offering a quiet, small-town quality of life. Parks and picnic areas are priorities, and horses are often given the right-of-way.

Although Brier does not have a commercial core, many residents run home-based businesses.

The philosophy of the City is to continue to retain and maintain the basic, original, spacious and semi-rural wooded character of the areas and to remain relatively small, simple and intimate with a minimum of regulation and taxation.
