Best Place to Live

We live in the independent living of Meridian. We have a beautiful 3bed 2.5 bath apartment. We really enjoy the lifestyle they offer us. We chose this place because of their amazing dining room. We don't have to cook anymore. Their restaurant is open all day from 7am-7pm, and the staff is very professional. They also have a really spacious underground parking garage. Our car is safe and out of the weather. The garage also connects the entire community, so if it is raining we can still get around.... Read more

This community is by far an incredible property/residential community! It is staffed & managed by wonderful/helpful/caring professionals and the residents are seemingly happy and active. The buildings/landscaping/decor/details are immaculate! It comes as no surprise that the Meridian is a highly sought out/desirable community to be a part of.
