My friend lives at the meridian, before the common areas were gross and trashy. They are so much better now!

Excellent Community

I’ve had a very positive experience with Meridian Apartments. The community offers a great balance of affordability, comfort, and convenience. It’s a quiet place to live, and the property is well maintained, which makes it feel welcoming from the moment you arrive.

The leasing office has been pleasant to work with throughout my experience. The staff is professional, approachable, and always willing to answer questions or point you in the right direction. They make the move-in process feel easy...
and strive to provide good customer service.

Another thing I appreciate is the value. The rental rates are fair for the area, and it’s nice to find a community that offers quality living without stretching your budget. The grounds are kept tidy, and the overall atmosphere is peaceful and enjoyable.

I would definitely recommend Meridian Apartments to anyone looking for a reasonably priced apartment in Fort Wayne. Between the friendly team, well-kept community, and great overall value, it’s a place that’s worth checking out.

Gret management team!

This property has really turned around in the past year! The new manager that has taken over has been super nice and sweet. If you have any issues you can just pick up the phone and call the office and she will help! The maintenance team has ensured to resolve all my issues in a timely manor and are so professional! I'm here for the long haul!

Yesss

I can't lie, Meridian Apartments surprised me. For the area it's in, the management is actually on top of things. They communicate with you, they don't leave you wondering what's going on, and if you have an issue, they get to it instead of making you wait forever.

The staff has always been respectful and willing to help, and it's honestly refreshing dealing with a team that actually answers you and follows through. Madison in the leasing office is real as hell—she'll talk to you like an actual...
person instead of giving you the runaround. She's always been helpful, honest, and makes the whole process way less stressful.

If you're looking in this area, I'd definitely recommend checking Meridian out. Good management is hard to come by, and they really do make living here a better experience.
If you're looking in this area, I'd definitely recommend checking Meridian out. Having good management makes a huge difference, and they really do their best to take care of their residents.
