March 24, 2025Amazing experience so far. Staff is helpful, apartment is beautiful. The unit itself is modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of natural light and quality finishes. The amenities are a huge plus — I especially love the fitness center and the quiet, well-maintained common areas. The management team is incredibly responsive and professional, always quick to address any questions or maintenance needs. The community feels safe and welcoming, and the location is super convenient, with ...shops, restaurants, and public transport all nearby. I’m genuinely happy to call this place home and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free living experience.Property Manager Responded

February 20, 2025My apartment is great. Price is very fair. Sometimes stuff breaks, but someone is always here to fix it promptly after the request is placed, so it’s not a problem. Location is a little out of the way, but the white loop stop being right here makes up for that.Property Manager Responded

January 29, 2025The meridian is very appropriate college living, large size living rooms and friendly staff! However the windows on the first floor aren’t ideal as it lacks privacy and doesn’t block headlights pulling in and out late at nightProperty Manager Responded

January 25, 2025The only downside of living at the Meridian is doing laundry. If they offered in unit washing machines and a few more modern looks it would be perfect.Property Manager Responded
