Locals living in Meridian can enjoy sprawling green-space surrounding their homes.
An ideal location at the edge of the Hill Country
Situated halfway between downtown Austin and Dripping Springs is Meridian, a master-planned community that opened in 2007. Once an area dominated by cedar breaks, Meridian today is a haven for people looking for a welcoming community with boundless outdoor amenities yet still convenient to big-city amenities. “It’s a fantastic location,” says Austin Realtor and Meridian resident Nick Easley, who has represented transactions in the area for 10 years. “It’s right on the edge of the Hill Country, but it's also close to downtown Austin. And it’s five minutes from great shopping and restaurants.”
Wildflowers bloom throughout the Meridian neighborhood during the spring time.
A nature-lover's paradise
Residents here are an active group that loves to take advantage of the natural surroundings. Whether they’re hiking the nature trails that wind their way through the neighborhood, enjoying the 10-acre Bear Lake or just strolling the quiet streets for some fresh air, you’ll find Meridian residents taking full advantage of all the Hill Country location offers. Speaking of natural beauty, the famed Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is located 5 miles east of Meridian. There, visitors are treated to more than 900 species of native Texas plants in different gardens and natural areas. Every fall, the center invites teams to participate in Fortlandia, in which participants create floral-themed forts for visitors to explore. Those interested in a little more rugged recreation can make the 5-mile trip to the Veloway Park bike trail, a 3-mile path that attracts mountain bikers from all over the area who are drawn to its natural splendor and its smooth-paved surface designed for bikes only.
Within the neighborhood’s boundaries, the Grey Rock Golf Club is a municipal club that is open to the public, offering both an 18-hole golf course and eight tennis courts. The club also has trained professionals on staff for both tennis and golf, as well as a restaurant with a full-service bar and extensive menu. The neighborhood homeowners’ association also maintains a park in the center of the neighborhood, where residents can access a playground, a swimming pool and a community pavilion.
Locals in Meridian can rely on Costco and Whole Foods Market for all their grocery needs.
Retail therapy and culinary sustenance
But there are plenty of creature comforts to keep Meridian residents happy and content, too. The Shops at Arbor Trails shopping center is 8 miles away, offering plenty of options for retail therapy. With a collection of national retailers, a Costco warehouse and both H-E-B and Whole Foods Market, the center provides a convenient place for Meridian residents to get virtually everything they need. Just a little further away, the dynamic shopping of downtown Austin is 16 miles to the east of the neighborhood.
Whether it’s Tex-Mex from Austin’s own Chuy’s or Torchy’s Tacos, breakfast at the legendary Kerbey Lane or a burger from P. Terry’s, the catalog of dining establishments that originated in Austin with locations near Meridian is a long one. Given the extensive range of options, it’s nice to have some local knowledge to help whittle down the choices in making a decision. “District Kitchen & Cocktails is amazing,” says Easley, who lists it as one of his personal favorites in the area, along with Shore Raw Bar and Grill and Jack Allen’s Kitchen.
Contemporary-influenced craftsman-style homes can be found throughout the Meridian neighborhood.
New-construction homes

The median home price in the neighborhood is around $930,000, with an average price per square foot of just over $300. A four-bedroom/two-bathroom ranch-style home can sell for just over $600,000, and prices can go up to $2.35 million for four-bedroom/four-bathroom ranch-style home with a heated salt water pool and a two-bedroom/one-bathroom guest cottage with its own kitchen and laundry room.

Superb Austin schools
Children in Meridian are served by the Austin Independent School District, which earns an overall rating of A-minus from Niche. Students can attend Baldwin Elementary, Gorzycki Middle and James Bowie High School. All three schools earn an A rating from Niche. A unique feature of Meridian is that the neighborhood elementary school is actually in the neighborhood, a feature that many parents of younger students find especially appealing. “Being able to walk your kids to school in the morning is one of the great things about living in Meridian,” says Easley.
