Living In Meridian
Since its explosive growth in the 2000’s, Meridian has become Treasure Valley’s premier destination for a diverse selection of shopping, family friendly activities, and comfortable living. It’s simple to see why families chose Meridian as their permanent residence—the city is conveniently placed in the middle of the valley with many planned developments to choose from with varying price points and amenities. There are so many communities in Meridian that it’s impossible to drive a square mile without seeing another welcoming neighborhood entrance.
Locals in Meridian want to welcome you to enjoy the strong sense of community present in this growing but livable city. It’s a community where parents can grab a snow cone at the corner stand while their kids burn off some energy at the park until the sun sets. Kids and families can spend hours in the sun splashing around at Roaring Springs—the northwest’s largest water park. Fun memories can be made at Wahooz Family Fun Center, Settler’s Park splash pad and fishing pond, and Meridian Speedway, too. There are nearly endless places to visit and things to do with family and friends, no matter the age. Try grabbing a reservation at Epi’s Basque Restaurant or stop by Sa-wad-dee Thai for some delicious local eats. Meridian also has popular chain restaurants such as In-N-Out Burger, Dave’s Hot Chicken, Texas Roadhouse, and many more.
The Village at Meridian is Idaho’s premier dining, open-air shopping, and entertainment destination. There is plenty of outdoor dining with abundant patio seating and entertainment venues. There’s a playground for the kids, and a gorgeous fountain that puts on a performance every hour to the accompaniment of lights and music. During the holiday season, the courtyard in the middle of the building is transformed into a magical outdoor ice rink, complete with a huge festive Christmas tree and Santa’s workshop.
