Our stay here was great! Convenient location, good amenities, and friendly staff! They recently added a pet wash station and upgraded their gym. Shout-out to Will. The construction is noisy and an adjustment for us but Will and the staff have been super helpful with addressing our concerns. They also host resident parties and catered events! We'll miss this place and the people.

My year at the Meridian at Ballston Commons has been wonderful! Quality amenities include a video-monitored package room, a clean fitness center with just about everything you need, a friendly concierge, a spacious club room with a billiards table and wet bar, as well as a rooftop pool. The 1st floor common areas have been renovated, which adds a modern touch to the building. If you have a dog, there's a dog washing station on the P1 garage floor. What's unique about the Meridian at Ballston Commons is that all of the units above the 3rd floor have sunrooms rather than balconies. This means you can enjoy that space all year round! My apartment specifically has high ceilings and hardwood floors in the common areas. It was renovated before I moved in, so I was able to take advantage of the newly-furnished GE appliances, and believe me I did. I liked having a walk-in closet and in-unit washer and dryer as well. Maintenance is quick to solve any problems, but I had very few maintenance issues because the building is well-maintained. The location is unbeatable. I worked in Ballston so my commute was a short walk away. Even if you don't work here, and have to commute to work, the Ballston-MU metro station is right across the street. It is clear that management cares about the building as well as its tenants. I only moved out because I'm relocating and I will miss this place. Everything here is top shelf and I highly recommend the beautiful Meridian at Ballston Commons to anyone considering moving to Ballston. I would like to thank Robyn for being a wonderful leasing agent and my go-to for anything apartment related.

My husband and I have lived here for a little over a year and we absolutely love it. I'm not a big reviewer, but I was surprised by some of the negative reviews and wanted to write back from the perspective of someone who moved in pre-construction and who just renewed for another 15 months: - The apartments are fabulous, full stop. Spacious, beautiful, comparable to other apartments pricewise in the area (although with a much better location), and with an A+ maintenance team who has never taken more than 24 hours to respond to any of my issues (even the ones I ranked "low priority"). - The location is actually unbeatable. Right in between the metro and the mall, with UPS across the street and food 5 min in every direction. I can walk to every doctor/dentist/specialist I have, I can walk to the grocery stores, I can walk to bars and restaurants, I can walk to parks. Wild. - The people are great. Leasing has always been super responsive (shoutout to Will!) and the front desk folks are lovely. Maintenance <3<3<3 (as discussed). Also, I've never had an issue with any other residents, and the apartment throws food/drink socials every few months through which we've met wonderful friends, including folks with whom we do regular game nights. - The construction comments make me lol. Yes there was construction in the gym for three months over the summer, and to compensate Meridian negotiated reduced gym rates at multiple nearby gyms for us (including the gym literally across the street). The in-apartment gym is so big and lovely now, with two whole rooms, and it's two seconds away! My goodness, folks. Yes there is ongoing construction in the lobby, as with literally every other apartment in this area. But I've always found Meridian super communicative about every upcoming project, including projects anticipated to make a lot of noise, and generally really responsive to our issues. As someone who does partial WFH I rarely experience noise issues, and on the one occasion I've had to leave my apartment I just went to the 21st floor, which is beautiful and has free internet. -There are issues of course (the beams in the parking garage are utter nonsense, although I’ve never not found a place to park). But I’ve never been so moved to write a response as I have reading some of these silly comments. TL;DR, keep up the good work Meridian!
