Lived here for 3 years so far and it's been a pleasure. The management is constantly working to improve their already great service. The units are beautiful and maintenance requests are handled quickly. Nothing bad to say at all!

Looking for a apartment during COVID was a bit stressful, after touring a couple of apartments we came across Meridian at Midtown. Aside from the amenities, we immediately knew this was “it”. Desiree was so welcoming since we stepped in, although we did a self-guides tour she made sure she was as informative as possible and answered all our questions or concerns. The application & move in process was very smooth and fast!! I love our apartment & shout out to Desiree!
