      • The BEST place to live

        May 31, 2024
        If you're looking for your next place to call home, you've found it. Vela Meridian is a gorgeous, safe, and exceptionally run property. I've lived here for three years, and I've never seen so much as a scrap of trash on-site or a blade of grass out of place. The units and landscaping are constantly being cared for and maintained. Anne and Carolyn on the management staff genuinely care about each and every tenant. They are very approachable and always on their A-game. Additionally, Joe and Jesse ...
        on the maintenance team are super friendly and quick to respond to upkeep requests. The staff is consistently fostering community, hosting game nights and keeping everyone up to date on relevant info via email. The apartment location is very safe and has a suburban vibe while being within commutable distance to downtown Denver. Overall, I can't emphasize it enough - live at Vela Meridian! You won't regret it.

          Hello three year Vela Meridian resident! We loved seeing this review and will be sure to pass along to our on-site and landscape teams. Thank you for the compliments and recognizing each team member. That means so much to us! Look for the Father's Day raffle email and then in July we will be sending the Summer BBQ details! Reach out if you need anything or have a suggestion. Team Vela

        February 16, 2023
        Vela is a fantastic place to call home. I was fortunate enough to live there for 2 years and have nothing but positive things to say. Very clean, friendly, and professional. The staff is outstanding and I highly recommend this place to anybody looking. You will not regret living here.

      • Vela made my living satisfying

        March 16, 2022
        Vela Meridian is one of that apartment that can't leave without gratifying you and your living needs. Staffs are absolutely amazing. The apartment is always clean, and the cleaning team is always active. Even on snow days, Vela is all ready to take the responsibility of the snow cleaning act seriously just for the resident comfort walking. Summer is gorgeous in Vela. If anything wrong with your thing in the apartment like fixing, vela got you in no time. They are super responsible and fast and ...
        humble on top of it. Spacious parking, spacious stairs, moving is not a problem. Wish I could live there long but I had to move out. Thank you heartily, Vela. Keep it up.

          Thank you, SG! We miss you and hope all went well with your move. We will pass along your compliments to our maintenance team and landscape company. They are a huge reason for Vela looking gorgeous. Residents also do a great job helping to keep Vela clean and decorated. Maybe one day you will find yourself back at a Shea Apartment community. Keep an eye on Compass since they have three bedrooms. Best to you all! Your Vela Team

      • A great place to live

        November 20, 2021
        We lived at Vela since 2018 and its been really great. We only left due to unforeseen life changes. The office staff has changed a few times in our stay but the current staff been has there for a while and is wonderful and attentive. We have had essentially no issues. The units are pretty nice and all of the appliances work well and are stainless steel. The community is almost always quiet and its always easy to find parking. There are a ton of cute dogs but we haven't had issues with barking or ...
        waste. We have lived in 2 different units here, both upstairs so we can’t speak to neighbor noise (though we never received noise complaints as the upstairs neighbor so that’s a good sign). We have had virtually no maintenance issues but the maintenance team does routine seasonal checks and they are friendly and quick during those. The planes going into the airport are not a nuisance, which I assumed they would be when we moved in, you really only notice it when it’s the military jets going by, otherwise it’s not disruptive at all. The location is convenient to get to 25/470 or out to Parker quickly, and it is generally very quiet and safe. All in all we loved our time here at Vela and are sad to go. We definitely recommend it if you are considering it as a choice.

          Greetings! It is very comforting to know when a resident can share history since 2018. There have been a few staff changes in that time and to know you stayed through that and had such a positive experience in the areas mentioned lets us know to keep doing what we are doing as much as possible. Preventative maintenance is very important to Shea Apartments and thank for recognizing the maintenance team's efficiency in getting in and out quickly. We will share your helpful input with them. Best of luck with your new home. Take care! Team Vela

      School data provided by GreatSchools.
      details
      The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
