I highly recommend this property! Our unit is updated, and the complex has everything we need. It is in a wonderful, safe, walkable neighborhood that's right next to the Metro station and walking distance to all that Old Town Alexandria has to offer. It does get a bit pricey once you account for all of the utilities/internet/parking, but that would be true anywhere in this area. The management is decent and we haven't had any major issues. The sunroom in every unit is a nice added bonus.

This is my favorite apartment I've ever lived in!! I live in a 2 bed/2 bath with one roommate and my cat. The complex/community is amazing - it has a gym, a pool, a concierge, and some amazing outdoor spaces and community events. Our apartment is very spacious and even has a sunroom! I pay the base rate plus additional each month for electric, water, gas, parking ($100/month), and pet rent. We are a 5 minute walk to the metro station and walking distance to grocery stores and Old Town Alexandria. The neighborhood is also amazing and I always feel safe. I have even had a good experience with the management, which is so rare! I couldn't be happier!

The sunrooms which are in every single apartment cause EXCESSIVE bills. 10 foot tall wrap around windows are not proper insulation and will cause your AC bills in the Summer and your heating bills in the Winter to easily be double or triple what they should normally be. The sunroom itself is inconvenient to use due to the extreme temperature difference in that room.

The maintenance is hilarious. The apartment complex's maintenance team will try to insist that you pick up the tools and do the repairs yourself. I am not kidding, you have to argue with them that you are not a handyman and will not do repairs for them. The sprinkler system also leaked and ruined some of my possessions as the building is shoddily built.

Construction occurring across the street, I've been woken up by hammers, dump trucks, you name it. I asked the office if there was anything that could be done and they gaslighted me saying "Sir, no one else is experiencing this noise issue" as there's a jackhammer going off in the distance.

The parking spots in the garage, which they charge $100 each a month for, were deficiently designed and as a result they are far too narrow. Damage to your car is likely.

Don't know if it's for all floors, but on the ground floor roaches were a thing.

If something is out of service, expect it to remain that way for weeks or months. We're talking garage doors not working, elevators not working, pieces of equipment in the gym not working.

The TVs in the 'Club Room' do not work. Wanted to watch the game with friends up there? Nah, you can't. TV outside by the garden? Nope.

Concierge frequently puts up a sign that they are 'out on the premises' and leaves for 30 - 45 minutes, no way to get your package.

Frequent noise in the garden area has been a regular complaint. The pool is awful and is a maximum of 3 feet deep.

At one point, I received dozens of different apartment's gas bills. I went to the office about this and it continued for weeks until I called the gas company & the post office several times and implored them to stop mailing me other residents bills because the office did nothing about it.

My unit had the old 90s spiral stove top burners which aren't exactly what you'd expect from a $2K+ a month apartment.

They put in your lease that if you ever want the privilege of moving out of their shoddy apartment complex, you have to pay them over $5k.

So anyway, if you're thinking about choosing the Meridian at Braddock, enjoy living there.

great building, great location

More space for less money than in DC, right next to the entrance to the GW Parkway and a block from the Braddock Road metro station. Walking distance to King Street and the river. All apartments have a huge sunroom.

Pay a little more, but have over 950 sq ft, dog park, dog wash station, friendly area, lots of space for the dog, sun room acts as an office. Have the perks of DC about 20 min metro away with quiet and space of non-city life.

I love living here.

I love this apartment complex. It is a little far from school, but you save so much money, they are super pet friendly, and it is nice to have a life off campus.

This is a great place to live in Alexandria.

We have lived here over 2 years! The location is central between our offices, super close to the metro, great sunlight in the apartment, and the one we are in has great closet space. Over the past two years the increase in rent isn't terrible, I have heard of worse from my friends.

Unless we move closer to the city this is where we are staying!
