Aliso Briar Forest

Aliso Briar Forest wraps its buildings around an on-site lake at the Briar Forest and Eldridge end of Memorial / Energy Corridor, in the West Oaks area. NALS Apartment Homes manages the 2014 community. One-, two- and three-bedroom homes reach about 1,452 square feet, with nine- or ten-foot ceilings, bamboo wood flooring, decorative crown molding, garden tubs, designer counters with stainless appliances and walk-in pantries; kitchen islands and attached garages come with select plans.

Amenities are broad for the size: a resort-style pool with a sun shelf, an outdoor kitchen and firepit area, a 24-hour fitness center with an adjoining children’s room, a game room with a pool table, a community kitchen with a coffee and tea bar, an enclosed dog park, a pet spa and electric vehicle charging stations. The property has held ApartmentRatings top-rated community recognition across multiple years.

Briar Forest Drive runs straight into the Corridor’s office district, and the Westpark Tollway to the south opens a route toward the Galleria and Westchase. West Oaks and Royal Oaks retail are the closest shopping, with Terry Hershey Park north for trail access.
