Tenants dont respect the property: poop left in the grass, trash left in hallways, missuse of past waste stations, garbage left in common areas by the pool, cigarette and marajuana smells in and outside building five… The parking situation continues to amaze me…
Eli is fantastic and the staff here is decent. I just wish people would listen to the rules and have some respect

Way too many people go to the pool that i know don’t live here. It’s very hard to park sometimes if you show up after 8pm.

We have lived here for going on 10 years. Although it is a turnover in owners, management and residents, it is an amazing community overall, for my mom and myself as seniors to young families, as well as professionals. I would highly recommend living here at Merio-Stratford. Also, if you shop around at luxury rental communities, this one of the more reasonably priced.
