My friend lives at the meridian, before the common areas were gross and trashy. They are so much better now!
Excellent Community
July 27, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I’ve had a very positive experience with Meridian Apartments. The community offers a great balance of affordability, comfort, and convenience. It’s a quiet place to live, and the property is well maintained, which makes it feel welcoming from the moment you arrive.
The leasing office has been pleasant to work with throughout my experience. The staff is professional, approachable, and always willing to answer questions or point you in the right direction. They make the move-in process feel easy ...
and strive to provide good customer service.
Another thing I appreciate is the value. The rental rates are fair for the area, and it’s nice to find a community that offers quality living without stretching your budget. The grounds are kept tidy, and the overall atmosphere is peaceful and enjoyable.
I would definitely recommend Meridian Apartments to anyone looking for a reasonably priced apartment in Fort Wayne. Between the friendly team, well-kept community, and great overall value, it’s a place that’s worth checking out.

NICE PLACE TO CALL HOME!
July 22, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
Really nice and friendly staff! The units are very nice on the inside. It's quiet and a nice place to call home! I would recommend taking a look! You won't be disappointed!
Gret management team!
July 22, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
This property has really turned around in the past year! The new manager that has taken over has been super nice and sweet. If you have any issues you can just pick up the phone and call the office and she will help! The maintenance team has ensured to resolve all my issues in a timely manor and are so professional! I'm here for the long haul!
Yesss
July 22, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I can't lie, Meridian Apartments surprised me. For the area it's in, the management is actually on top of things. They communicate with you, they don't leave you wondering what's going on, and if you have an issue, they get to it instead of making you wait forever.
The staff has always been respectful and willing to help, and it's honestly refreshing dealing with a team that actually answers you and follows through. Madison in the leasing office is real as hell—she'll talk to you like an actual ...
person instead of giving you the runaround. She's always been helpful, honest, and makes the whole process way less stressful.
If you're looking in this area, I'd definitely recommend checking Meridian out. Good management is hard to come by, and they really do make living here a better experience.
If you're looking in this area, I'd definitely recommend checking Meridian out. Having good management makes a huge difference, and they really do their best to take care of their residents.

Well-Managed and High Quality
January 2, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
The property was maintained to a high standard, and management was responsive and professional at all times.
Resident Experience
November 18, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
I’ve been at this property going on 3 years and I haven’t had any major issues. It doesn’t look the greatest when you pull in any lot, but the inside of the units are actually REALLY NICE!! My lot has been very quiet the past 3 years and my kids feel comfortable living here. I’m very happy in my apartment!
Renovated apartments, new management
September 16, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
The complex isn’t bad. It’s a bit run down as the old company did not take care of the place, but the current owners seem to be taking action and doing many remodels and fixes. There can even be maintenance crews seen daily. When we first moved in, there needed to be repairs, but they at least fixed it within 2-3 weeks and fixed a later emergency plumbing problem within a few hours. The units they have available now seem to all be newly renovated! Mine even has radiant ceiling heating, nice tiled ...
floors, was newly painted, newer appliances, and has spacious closets. The only downside is the curb appeal. Some places look rundown, but I think this will change as the new management continues to renovate the complex

Applicant Beware!
June 23, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
I applied here in August 2021. Never heard anything. I tried calling, texting the automated service they have, emailing, and leaving many messages. Nothing.
*10 months later* I finally get someone on the phone, only for her to claim to not be able to do anything because she wasn’t working here back in August. Of course their fees are non refundable. Of course there is no one else I can talk to except her. Because why take care of a person who had to basically stalk the phone lines to even check ...
what happened?
To sum this up, only apply if your requirements for an apartment are getting your money taken and zero communication! Customer service can go a long way, and this place doesn’t have it. The property manager should consider a new career path.

Great service
June 10, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
Just the other day I stopped in to inquire about a 1 bedroom 1 bath. I was helped by Christina, Briana and Andrea, they did an amazing job explaining everything to me and answering all my questions I had. 10/10 Service
Ridiculous
February 12, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
I could never imagine renting from a place with so many dog breed restrictions. Get with the times, its not the breed, it's the dog itself and how it was raised. I have owned Danes and Malamutes and never had one be mean or destructive. That being said I would recommend managing it as a case by case situation. Meet the dog moving in instead of assuming the worst of every breed. That's insane.
STOP DO NOT RENT
July 31, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
Do not rent from this place you will regret it as soon as you move in. Just like I did there was huge spiders everywhere and e weeks after I moved in I started getting roaches from the Neighbor House Ive been her for 11 months now and they are onky getting worse and they have a exterminator come every other Tuesday and nothing is changes Its the worst If something breaks in your hone they go to an abandon apartment and get what they need clean it off and bring it to your House..Seriously Stay ...
