Meridian at Courthouse Commons: If you like noise, this might be the one for you! (Not Recommending)

2009-10-24T13:30:28-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We lived at Meridian at Courthouse for 3 years because of its convenience to the Metro and because we had a lovely view of the city. Our 1 bedroom was next to a studio apartment and the walls are very thin so it can be noisy at night because the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Bad Deal, Bad Construction, Nice Lobby (Not Recommending)

2009-08-26T16:21:40-06:00

From aggiehoya: I lived in the building for three years because I had a roommate that I liked and we were too busy to look to move, but when a.) the rent was hiked again, b.) I was sleeping on the bathroom floor because the windows did not block any outside noise ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: you know what you are getting (Recommending!)

2009-07-08T09:24:22-06:00

From laintain: I've lived here for almost two years, and it has been pretty okay. It is a secure building, nice enough, not 'too' expensive for the area...at least not pre-rent increases. I have had my issues with management (why is there a fee for everything? why can't you fix something after ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Much better than I thought it would be! (Recommending!)

2009-05-20T12:50:52-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I, too, read these reviews before moving into the Meridian but I am SO glad I didn't listen to them. I have absolutely loved living here! One of the only problems I've had here was with the management when signing the lease (different people told us different things and please ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Don't believe the bad reviews (Recommending!)

2009-04-16T20:36:06-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My boyfriend and I lived in Courthouse 1 in 2008 and LOVED it. I have to admit we were weary after reading some awful reviews about noise, management, etc. and were VERY pleasantly surprised. We never would have moved out except my job transferred me to another city.We had an ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Rude, Sleazy Management (Not Recommending)

2009-04-15T16:52:08-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The building itself is quite nice. It's very clean, the amenities aren't bad, etc. although it is most certainly overpriced. The only reason I lived here is because I was very new to the DC area.From day 1, the management has been rude and condescending. They act as if you ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Look elsewhere (Not Recommending)

2009-03-24T11:12:54-06:00

From specialkdm: I lived in the Courthouse II building. Where do I begin? Often times the residents refused to use the trash chute to dispose of their garbage. The building is occupied by all age groups and nationalities, however, a lot of young, inconsiderate tennants are allowed to move in. I had ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Not great (Not Recommending)

2008-11-20T13:04:29-06:00

From -Anonymous-: As with any apartment, there are pros and cons, however, this apartment seems to have a lot of cons. The major PRO is the convenience to the metro. It's about 2 blocks to the metro, which is great! And the police station is up the street, so I always feel ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Not so bad (Recommending!)

2008-11-10T09:52:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I'm in agreement with both sides of these responses. My wife and I have lived here for two years now and have not had many problems other than price and the sometime college dorm lifestyle lived by many residents. The daily maintenance staff has always been helpful and responsive. We've ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Rude staff (Not Recommending)

2008-11-10T09:27:16-06:00

From c308: I was going to rent this place. However, something happened. I called in and asked about information. I was told there would be no application fee. However, after I checked the apartment and filled out application, the staff told me there would be $400 moving fee. I wanted to make ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: AWFUL!!!!! (Not Recommending)

2008-10-29T13:55:50-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved to the Meridian for the convenience of the close metro. NOT WORTH IT! Not only is it extremely over-priced, loud, and dirty, the staff is horrible. The Merdian does not care about customer-service, but instead focuses all of its energy on making as much money as possible. My ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Worst Apartment Complex Ever! (Not Recommending)

2008-10-16T21:50:54-06:00

From -Anonymous-: For the price that you pay (try $1550 for a studio not counting utilities or parking), one would think you would get quality staff and not have ridiculous charges constantly placed. For one, they are ALWAYS doing work on everything and will block off entire floors for days. They also ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Positive Experience (Recommending!)

2008-10-02T16:50:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Lived in a Studio in the Phase II of Meridian Building for 2 years. Biggest Cons: can be hard to find guest parking on the streets in the evening...esp. as more high rises are built (building sells guest pass for $5/24 hrs), could hear neighbors once in a while when ...

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: great location - customer service? not so much! (Not Recommending)

2008-10-01T17:18:25-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I hate everything about this place, from the building itself to the management office. The hallways are so stinky! The leasing staff is lazy and RUDE. The front desk attendants (both day and night) are not very professional. I would give this building a 2 out of 10 for customer ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: really disappointing (Not Recommending)

2008-10-10T11:10:04-06:00

From kdonovan: I have lived here with my now-husband for the last two and a half years. We will soon be leaving for a nearby apartment complex that is slightly more expensive, but of a much higher quality.Consistently, we have been disappointed with management's handling of several issues. Without fail, when things ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Overpriced college dorm! (Not Recommending)

2008-08-04T11:10:29-06:00

From -Anonymous-: So many complaints, so little time: I lived below ground level and got flooded 3 times b/c they have poor drainage and bad insulation against inclement weather; I moved up to a higher floor and now I contend with floods from the apartment above me (bad plumbing), and loud bassy ...

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Nice looking BUT Cheap Fixtures and Cheap Management Company (Not Recommending)

2008-06-30T14:44:01-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The building looks nice and modern, but the fixtures are really cheap. My toilet must have overflowed 5 times in the time that I've lived here. The same is true for the person who lives above me and the person two doors down from me.The management company is happy to ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Compares well with nearby high-rises (Recommending!)

2008-06-11T10:55:48-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I'm relatively new, but I find this a nice place to live - I looked at MANY apartments in Arlington, and you get a good level of space, convenience, and general appearance of the property here for the rent. Rent isn't cheap, but it seems comparable to area apartments for ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Worst place I've ever lived (Not Recommending)

2007-12-17T10:43:36-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The staff is terrible and the management is worse. The only good thing about this place is the door man.I agree with previous things said -- they are liars, cheaters and they do not treat you like human beings. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: noisy (Not Recommending)

2007-11-09T14:13:31-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We've lived at the Meridian for a few years, and are raising our two kids there. The apartment itself is pretty good, although two things annoy me: 1) the kitchen counter slopes down towards the kitchen, so any water that collects on the counter drips onto the floor--this is pretty ...

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Loud, Loud, Loud (Not Recommending)

2007-11-05T18:27:29-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My biggest complaint is how loud the building is. The doors are very loud and people living here don't seem to understand that just holding the handle as you close the door will help. But, if you live on the Taft side of the building...you get to hear contant construction ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: The building management is awful! This is not the luxury place it claims to be. (Not Recommending)

2007-08-02T16:02:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The buildings and grounds of the Meridian look very nice, but it can be an unpleasant place to live. To begin with, rents are raised at every lease renewal (by a lot). Discounts are given to new tenants but there is little regard for existing tenants. The management strategy is ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Very strict management; unflexible and expensive (Not Recommending)

2007-07-18T16:03:31-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I currently live at the Meridian. I love the amenities of the building, particularly the green courtyard, pool areas, and neighborhood it offers. However, I have been relocated overseas and the management company will not budge on their policy to give 60 days notice to break a lease PLUS a ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: poor leasing department (Not Recommending)

2007-07-16T18:44:12-06:00

From floressalicis: We did not rent yet after having a terrible experience with the leasing department. They give contradictory information and do not explain that the application doubles as the leasing agreement - the first agent we dealt with actually explicitly stated that it was not. When rooming situation changed at the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Don't know why so many negative reviews (Recommending!)

2007-07-05T21:46:10-06:00

From joejoejoe29: I liked living here. I thought it was really nice and had no problems except for the occasional keyfob/door entry breaking (which did happen far too often). I also didn't like how when you got a package, they knock on your door a couple times and then unlock it and ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Best complex in the area (Recommending!)

2007-06-08T13:50:56-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This is the nicest complex in the Courthouse area. It has lots of green inside and around it, beautiful views, and ample space. The sunrooms are wonderful, a great addition to my living room, bringing more light and space. Some people use it as a additional bedroom but that ruins ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: Good location, okay living (Not Recommending)

2007-04-11T13:15:37-06:00

From arlingtongirl23: Overall, this was an okay place to live. The apartments are small and cramped for two people, but we did like that we lived in a relatively new building (we lived in Phase 3, now The Prime). We had a great concierge for a while when we were there and ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: upscale college dormitory. (Not Recommending)

2007-03-26T15:50:55-06:00

From -Anonymous-: maintenance and the front desk (weekday staff) have been pretty responsive to requests. parking garage can be a definite perk (there's a small monthly fee for it) --however, the doors never seem to work (??), plus there are a few cars insde which definetely seem to be abandoned. aparment interiors ...

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: It's a dump with a nice facade (Not Recommending)

2007-02-19T12:57:43-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here almost a year and I'm itching to get out. The idea of writing one more check to these people makes me sick. Within 6 months of living here, the apartment flooded twice. Both times maintenance was responsive, but it meant several days of having the apartment torn ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Courthouse Commons: (Not Recommending)

2007-02-03T22:07:05-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Wow. This place used to have hundreds of reviews (most negative). Also drama with property managers coming on here giving false positive reviews, identifying reviewers by name and telling them to move if they don't like it.

Anyway, as a former resident, I can tell you that it is a nice ... [click to read full apartment review]

2007-01-22T13:30:41-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived in this building for about a year and a half in a 1BR sunroom. I actually found maintence to be responsive and the front desk staff to be pleasant.

2006-09-16T13:32:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have been living here for about 1 and 1/2 years now, and I have found that the experience is highly dependent on the neighbors surrounding you.

2006-08-06T16:34:19-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Please note that the building management is known to put its own comments on here to increase their rating.

From -Anonymous-: I lived there for 1 year, it was pricey, but the location is fantastic. There are many young professionals living there, so sometimes it felt like living in a college dorm room.
