          I have been living at Merrick Place for 5 years and have loved the community. The apartments are nice and the grounds are well maintained and beautifully landscaped. I will likely stay here until I purchase a home.

                  Merrick Place is generally quiet and is by far the best apartment complex in Lexington. Maintenance is always quick to respond and fix the issues, but the office staff does not always respond to emails or answer phone calls. Overall though, I can't imagine renting… See More >

                        It's a very well maintained community. The groundskeepers work hard to keep the place looking pretty year round. They frequently mow the grass and maintain flowerbeds. The maintenance staff is also very courteous and work quickly.

                                my understanding Is that our apartment grounds used to be a horse farm. It's beautifully landscaped with rolling hills and many separate buildings, Many of which are beautiful red brick. With lovely tree lined lanes it feels more like a community an apartment complex.

                                          Community is in a great location but the units are in need of work for instance my patio is in such bad shape we don't even use it. Ther seems to be a lot of band aiding problems and not fixing them properly.
