Great apartment
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.

Great Spot if you're willing to commute.
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.

The Meridian Rocks
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.

Love our Apartment
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!

Clean, well-located, well-managed, but overpriced.
We have been at the Meridian at Braddock Station for several years now, and overall we have had a good experience living here.
The best thing about it is the location, literally right next to the Braddock Metro station, and right next to route 1 if driving--only a few minutes from 495. It's about 5 minutes down the road from all the shopping available at Potomac Yards, and 5 minutes up the road from all the bars and restaurants available on King Street in Old Town.
The place seems to be pretty well managed compared to any other apartment community we've ever lived in. Problems with the amenities in the common areas tend to be fixed promptly, as do any problems with plumbing/hvac/etc in our unit. The lobby and halls are kept clean. We've never seen an insect in our unit, or heard of any insect problems anywhere in the building.
Most of the staff we have dealt with have made a clear effort to be personable and to get to know us by name, and make sure we are well taken care of. Not only do they do a good job with service but seem to enjoy being there. The general manager has been the only person who we've had a less than stellar experience dealing with.
My main criticism would be the layout and quality of the actual apartment units themselves. The ceilings are very low throughout most of the apartments, giving a slightly cramped feel. The interior wall construction uses metal studs rather than wooden ones so it is a real pain in the butt to hang or anchor furniture, drapes, large pictures, etc. With our particular floorplan, the HVAC unit sits right behind the living room wall and it is extremely loud when it cuts on, to the point where we're often forced to turn off the AC and simply let the apartment get hot if we want to be able to hear whatever we are trying to watch on television. During the winter months, the bedrooms, especially our corner bedroom, tend to get very cold even with the heat on due to extremely drafty windows. Noise insulation both within and between units also leaves a lot to be desired.
My final criticism is pricing. I understand that with good location comes a premium price, but their rental amounts are significantly higher than comparable offerings we've seen in the local market. I think that for the quality and size of the apartments, the value falls short for the amounts they are asking; they are charging more of a luxury apartment rate for what are pretty basic apartments.

Great Value for the area
Meridian is one of the better buildings in North Old Town. The price is average if not slightly below market average, even with all the newer buildings going up. So close to the metro and night life. Lots of new stuff opening on the north OT side, easy access to groceries, food and fune

Great deal for proximity to Metro
This rent is a great price given how close the apartment is to the metro (less than a 10 minute walk). The appliances in the apartment aren't the best, and the maintenance could be better, but it is still the best deal we could find!

Meridian
The Meridian at Braddock boasts fantastic access to Old Town Alexandria and the metro. You can get all the fun of DC without those DC prices. The building is safe and has reasonable amenities. There isn't a big social scene here so make sure you have your own friends.

Old Town Reviews
- Safe, nearby grocery store, pet friendly, pool, close to restaurants, diverse in income types and styles of homes, etc.
Cons: Section 8 housing, a lot of people for a tiny pool.
