The apartment itself is nice, albeit a bit small as it is a studio but still plenty of space, and about a 5 minute walk from the metro. There is a small gym in the building that is included in the rent and the courtyard area outside the building is nice. My main complaint is just the price point, which unfortunately is about on par of the area. However, they do not have exceptions for students for showing that you can afford the rent during the application process (even if you are using loans) so unless you have a cosigner or make a lot of money, I would look elsewhere.

Its a pretty good spot.

Great building - thin walls but solid space and decent rooms for what you’re paying. Not as nice as some luxury buildings in the area but more affordable.

Ideal location near Courthouse metro station. Walking distance to farmers market every weekend, severest restsurants, and movie theater. Few grocery stores within a 1 mile radius -Trader Joe’s, Foods, Giant. Building houses several young professionals and includes a gym, pool, raquetball/squash court, half basketball court, and two clubhouse common spaces where some events are hosted by our Cares Team (free food, mixer events, or classes).

I've lived here for almost 3 years in two different units. I've been really pleased with the management and staff here. They are responsive, friendly, and helpful. My neighbors have also all been friendly and respectful. The location is great (long walk to campus, short walk to metro), parking is ample, and the units are freshly renovated so they feel brand new.

Love where I live. Place is clean, apartment was renovated just before moving in. Large floor plan perfect for entertaining. Wouldn't pay to live here alone but fantastic with a roommate. Gym usually has open ellipticals/treadmill when I go. Sufficient indoor parking, 2-3 blocks from Courthouse metro. Renewed lease after first year because me and the roommate like it so much

The Meridian at Courthouse is great for young professionals. While it's apartments are pretty standard, many of them have been renovated. If you are willing to live in a small place, the rent is very affordable and you get access to a gym and pool. Very close to metro.

It's a good location. It's clean and has decent amenities. It's way too expensive, leaving young professionals no other alternative but to make a 2 bedroom 1 sunroom apartment essentially 3 bedroom by sticking someone in a sunroom that has no ventilation. Sadly it's comparable to other apartment complexes in the area.

The Meridian was ok for the past few years, but my roommate and I are definitely outgrowing the place. We're in an older unit and things are falling apart and you can easily see the poor quality of appliances and construction that were put into the apartment. The management company was also quite rude about discussing a transfer to a newer unit, and therefore has lost our business for the following year.

The Meridian is a safe place to live within walking distance of a metro stop, bars and shops. However, there have been a lot of loud renovations going on that startle me awake at 8AM. Leasing office staff isn't fantastic but they do the bare minimum of their job. I love the natural sunlight that comes through but the units are small for what you pay for and the appliances are pretty shitty. I also wish some utilities were included. The area is super yuppy and yo-pro which gets in the way of being socially happy.
