We have lived at Merrywood for almost two years now. Moving in the middle of the pandemic was tough, but the management really helped us make a smooth transition. This is a great community. Everyone is very kind. The property manager Belinda is always responsive to anything we need whether it's a maintenance issue or just a quick question. She is excellent. Our family has found a true home here!

The last four months have been...wow! The complex is extremely clean, plants are well maintained, and very quiet. It really feels like a warm community that is super friendly and respectful of each other's space. A major bonus is the ability to park on site, which is beneficial with how limited the main street parking is. This complex is walking distance from great breweries, local coffee roasters and tasty restaurants. We are lucky to have found Merrywood Apartments!
