My wife and I needed a short-term lease, and Meridian Lakes was one of the few places where we could find a reasonable one. We got the smallest one-bedroom, and it's fantastic for people without a lot of possessions (if you have a lot of stuff to store/display, you should consider a bigger floor plan). The apartment was in great shape when we moved in, and we have had very few problems. Whenever we needed help, management and maintenance have been diligent about returning calls and resolving issues. The pool has been wonderful, and though our neighbors are mostly in college, there have been no issues with noise or inappropriate behavior. Overall, given the price, this apartment vastly exceeded our expectations.
