Meridian is a suburban Denver metro community close to attractions
Meridian is a suburban community near many of the attractions on the growing south end of the Denver metro. This community bordering the Centennial Airport puts modern homes and apartments within minutes of outdoor amenities, office parks, restaurants and chain stores. Players and carts frequently move across the Meridian Golf Club’s rolling landscape during the summer, while others stop by nearby workout stations to do their calisthenics routines. “This community is welcoming and diverse, offering a peaceful suburban feel while still being close to excellent restaurants, top-rated schools and a variety of conveniences,” says Olga Telesin, a Realtor with EXIT Realty. “With many parks and walking trails, it’s also a great place for anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors.”
Meridian features playscapes within walking distance of modern apartment complexes.

Modern homes with Traditional and Craftsman features
Meridian has dense groups of traditional homes and townhouses, many of which were built in the 2000s and 2010s. Common features include tiled roofs and siding made of stone, brick, wood and stucco. Single-family homes here occupy compact lots, with many houses placed within several feet of each other. Some townhouses share alleys and narrow roads in between their garages. Meridian also has some contemporary apartment complexes with flat-roofed buildings. Single-family homes go from $650,000 to $850,000, while townhouses run between $360,000 and $530,000.
Christopher Gibson, a mortgage lender who used to sell real estate in the area, says Meridian shares some traits with the neighboring but denser suburbs. “It’s kind of Parker-esque without being Parker,” he says. “There are a lot of two-story homes that people with families might purchase.”

Meridian Golf Club’s state-of-the-art amenities
The private Meridian Golf Club offers an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus-designed course. The club has designated areas for putting and chipping practice and another facility with state-of-the-art simulator bays and a driving range. The course neighbors the Real Colorado Soccer Complex, a destination for youth games and community meetups. Other outdoor spots include Sarah’s Place Memorial Park, which has tree-lined open spaces, walking paths and a dog park.
The Centennial Airport is home to the Wings Over the Rockies Exploration of Flight, a museum that Telesin says is among her family’s favorite places to visit. “Our son loves exploring the world of aviation,” she says. “As an aspiring pilot, he absolutely loves the hands-on flight simulators and always leaves with new knowledge and excitement.”

Going to Douglas County’s strong schools
The Douglas County School District covers Meridian and gets an overall A-minus grade from Niche. Schools serving the community include Eagle Ridge Elementary, which gets an A-minus. One of Eagle Ridge’s most celebrated traditions is its annual science fair, which is open to all of the school’s students. Each spring, visitors look at more than 100 projects showing a mix of experiments and original concepts. The projects are illustrated on numerous poster boards that are decorated with a mix of collages and graphs. Students may then continue to Cresthill Middle School and Highlands Ranch High School, which both get A-minus grades.

Residents go to neighboring Lone Tree to enjoy annual festivities. The city’s events include October’s Fall Festival at the Schweiger Ranch. As they explore the historic ranch, attendees visit the pumpkin patch, roast marshmallows over a fire pit and meet farm animals. The event also offers wagon rides and invites bluegrass bands to entertain the crowd.
Different travel options to Denver
Denver’s Regional Transportation District has bus stops along Lincoln Avenue and a few light rail stations outside the community. Otherwise, drivers use Interstate 25 to go to downtown Denver, 20 miles north. The community is also close to the E-470 toll road, which goes around much of Denver and several suburbs. “It’s super convenient for commuting throughout metro Denver,” Gibson says. Meridian is 33 miles south of the Denver International Airport, the region’s hub for commercial flights. The is just north of the 304-bed HCA HealthOne Sky Ridge hospital. Prospective buyers should also anticipate some moderate to high noise levels due to the highways and Centennial Airport.
