Meridian Pointe Apartments

The front desk employees act like they deal with rude people all day, so dont expect them to be nice to you. They tend to roll their eyes when they are finished talking with you, and act pretty rude. The maintenance crew is really awesome though, Willy does a good job at fixing anything that needs to be fixed and hes super fast.

Cock roaches, and threats from management if they want you gone, my roof leaked through winter of 2015, and they will keep your deposit, document everything and don’t believe anything they tell you. If you’re smart you will find another place.

As bad as it gets. DO NOT LIVE HERE it’s a nightmare they can enter your room whenever they want without warning! They gave me a «notice» but then barged in when I was sleeping far before the time listed on the notice which is something I didn’t agree to in the first place. Complete invasion of privacy this place is awful.
Update: EVERY FUCKING DAY there is a «notice to enter dwelling unit» bullshit fucking note in my door, I am so fucking sick of this shithole today I woke up to the sound of someone unlocking my door, they have no concept of privacy this should be illegal.

I’ve only lived here for 2 weeks and cannot wait to leave. I’m glad they offer short term 5-​month contracts because as soon as the semester is over I’m GONE. The hallways smell like a mixture of weed, eggs, and something meat-​ish. The only way I can describe it lol. There is someone CONSTANTLY yelling everyday from around 8pm-​2am. I’ve called to complain and nothing has been done. Pretty sure they’re some nerd playing video games who takes it too seriously. Someone whistles every night in the hallway which I’m not sure if it’s the security guard on-​site or a ghost. They’re both creepy. No one respects the hours of 10pm– onward because people stomp down the halls and insist on talking loudly on their cellphone when they come home around midnight. I don’t even go to bed myself until around 1am but the level of noise is still annoying. I was really about to pull out of my contract before I moved in but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and I really wish I hadn’t because the reviews are true. I was changing in my room when I heard 2 men trying to open my door. As a 20 year old girl living by herself this is NOT something I wanted to experience. There was no notice that anyone was coming so I really have no idea why maintenance were trying to open my door for a solid 2 minutes. They weren’t able to open it thank god. If they did I would have sued big time. They also decided to paint the exterior of the building (so they can trick people into thinking it’s nicer than it really is I guess) and they start around 8:30am which I guess isn’t too bad except for the fact they think everyone else should be awake just because they are and like to shout at each other. I also found a roach in my shower. I’m a very clean person who washes my dishes everyday and makes sure to not leave any trash out because I HATE bugs but what do ya know… I still get them (: Manny is the only redeeming quality of this place. He is very helpful and doesn’t look at you suspiciously like everyone else. I can also tell there was mold in my bathroom before I moved in that was just painted over because the walls are crumbling at the bottom of the outside of the shower. I took pictures of everything when I moved in just in case they want to pin it on me like others have claimed they do. I’m counting down the days till May 18^th

Worst place ever!!!
Don’t live here, is extremely expensive for the little shitty apartment. I never know how much was rent one month was down one month was $ 100 more!!! And they always give a stupid excuse, I’m so mad I still have to live here for 3 more months. The only good thing they have is that is right across the school other than that is hell, the security guards act like its a jail their taking care of no noise, you can’t walk in the hallways, you can’t be outside in the parking lot, it’s either you leave or you’re inside your room. It’s a habit of them to put emergency warning sings on your doors, for any little thing. I got fine for putting a Christmas sticker on the door, I got the cops at 2 am nocking on my door for being to loud and I was already in bed with my roommates. This apartments seriously suck!!! You will hate it, I hate meridian point, I hate their staff they are so rude and they never have time they always tell you to come back later, you have to pay $ 25 a month to use the gym on top of rent, the hallways smell like weed all the time !! They walk into your room without notice, whenever they feel like it. They walked in on my Roomate when she was sleeping and she woke up with 3 men in her room making inspections. Honestly don’t ruin your life, you get a contract and your fucked till the contract ends.

As bad as it gets. Do not stay here it’s a nightmare they can enter your room whenever they want without warning! They gave me a «notice» but then insisted on coming in when I was sleeping far before the time listed on the notice which is something I didn’t agree to in the first place then got upset when I told them to come back later. Complete invasion of privacy this place is awful.
Bullshit update: Threatening me by putting «urgent» messages on my door everyday claiming I didn’t provide them with proper documentation when I moved in. Turns out they just lost the documents, at least they admitted fault this time.
Bullshit update #2: If you love black mold and cockroaches, this is the place for you.
Bullshit update #3: Meridian pointe ensures that none of there residents get any sleep by doing power drilling right outside your window in the early morning. nice.
Bullshit update #4: They lost my mail. They kept telling me it was at the post office but eBay said it had been delivered and signed off on. Turns out mp didn’t sign the package into the system. I had to beg them for days to check in the closet but they swore it wouldn’t be there. Sure enough it was there. This place is ridiculous I’m losing my mind.

I’ve been looking for apartments for a while and I walked in to check this place out. I was helped out by Manny Montes, he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Everything I was concerned about he made it feel very easy to overcome. I had such a great tour with him that he knew everyone and it seems like a very friendly place. Now I am strongly considering this locations, they have a gym and great amenities that will fit all my needs! Thanks for all your help Manny!

Great apartments for CSUN people. The environment is unbeatable.
Although the prices are a little high, it is worth the convienence and security. Northridge isn’t the safest area and Meridian does a great job at maintaining a comfortable home appeal. The staff is great.

2.5 — 3 Stars*
The thing with these apartments are confusing. It’s walking distance from school which is the only reason I live here. The apartments, in my opinion, are way too small for the price. My lease renewed and the price went up and I now pay 1180 per month for the size of my apartment which was supposedly a bit bigger than the studio.
The A/​C turns is programmed to only last 2 hours, which means I come back to a very hot apartment after being at school and come back from work.
Utilities are supposedly included but the prices went up on rent which probably goes towards utilities more than the actual increase in rent due to the new owner of the apartments.
They have additional things for recreation such as a pool, jacuzzi, grilling in some courtyard, and a sand volleyball court.
They also have some things such as «The Zone» which you have to pay an addition $ 25 dollars a months for. And also a gym.
I remember one time, they were going to do pest control which required me to take everything out of the drawers. I did so, and still got a $ 75 dollar fine for not taking everything out of the drawers but I did! There’s no room to put all my things that would allow them to do the pest control.
This is probably my last year living here.

I lived in here. One day, my kitchen and bathroom ink are plug up.
the staff willie helped me. He provided good and quality services. Thanks

My Lease is coming to an end here I’m moving out but I just want to state how grey this place is one of the leasing agents manny was always friendly and helped me out when I forgot my keys in my apartment that was a big stress relief I would definitely advise people to check this place of THEY HAD THE MAYWEATHER FIGHT AND PIZZA I can just imagine future events

I’m a student at CSUN and found these apartment homes conveniently located next to the campus. They have really cool amenities including a ping pong table, 24 hour gym, study rooms, pool table, foosball table, and a movie room. I took a tour with Manny who was really friendly and professional, any question I threw at him he could answer with detail. Knowledgeable staff and an easy lease process, if you’re looking for an apartment in this area, I definitely recommend stopping by for a tour.

Moved August 2014. I moved to this complex because there was’t any availability in any complexes around CSUN except this one. The leasing office are rude. They will be nice the first day but after that they won’t. they take 4 months to process something between me and them. This thing can only take 2 – 3 weeks maximum. Maintenance are friendly. I do not feel safe because everyone can have access to the building. The front door does not look really. It can be open easily by pulling it with little power. I never used my card to open the front door xD everyone knows about that door. Also, the complex staff can get into your apartment anytime especially if you are in the shared bathroom apartment. I pay for this studio +$ 1000 and guess what? shared bathroom :) my neighbor was nice and clean, but if yours isn’t, you will hate yourself. Their rent is high. They say that they pay all bills but they get them with the high rent lool. I think also that they give more parking permits that parking spots! if you come late in weekday, good luck in finding a parking spot near the exit:)
expect to smell bad things in the hallways like food, vomits and marijuana.
Expect people to shout in the hallways. Just now while I was writing this review, there was girl fight outside :/​
Forgot to tell you that they offer free bathroom cleaning for those who live in the shared bath studios. It is nice but the cleaners always enter the bathroom from my studio door, they never entered from my neighbor door :/​I do not understand why
ONLY 1 security guy for this building
Positives:
cross street from CSUN 3 minutes from your apartment door to CSUN block with intersection waiting time: P
Free wifi in the zone (I have wifi in my apartment, did not use the zone)
maintainance friendly
You can pickup your packages 24hrs because there is a security guy in the leasing office ²⁴⁄₇
Timewarner internet was fast. I subscripted for the 100mb and got 100mb.
My lease ends this month and I am glad that I will move out:)
Do not expect your deposit. They want me to clean everything to make it as it was when I got it. They want me to remove finger prints from everywhere. need the CSI to do this lol
Want me to clean behind the fridge.
clean the AC filter :/​
… etc
Why would I do all these?
anyway it is only $ 500
I would not expect it back anyway
They told me that they will raise the rent 30 – 40 dollars if I want to renew.
The good thing also is that they are renewing some studios, and they are renewing the leasing office, and some other stuff.
At the end,
If you can afford to pay $ 1300 to $ 1400 for an apartment, you can find 1 bedroom apartment in the CSUN area. Much better than this.
If you cannot, and what to live in a studio, sign 12 months lease to pay $ 930, try them.

Don’t live here unless you are as stupid as you are rich. The roaches, both Marijuana roaches and insects litter the building. The csun campus is across the street but thats the only and I mean only good thing about this place. Nobody likes it here. Most people are trapped in leases and overpaying. Don’t be that person.

Good place. Campus style apartments. No need to worry about any bills. WiFi access
24×7.

So let me start by saying that I’m not entirely sure if I should be writing this review about ‘MERIDIAN’ itself, or ‘CIRRUS’ the management company that this place is ran by.
I just moved to LA about three months ago and have been looking for my own place since I got here. Meridian Pointe was the first place to approve me. First all they needed were my 2013 W2’s, then because it was already march those wouldnt work. Then I had to use my 2014 W2’s which were all back in Kentucky, so that was a pain to get etc etc. It was a long painstaking process, but we got it done. I ‘e-​signed’ my lease via internet on March 3^rd, 2015. My lease was for 4 months, to move in on March 24^th, 2015 (a Tuesday) in unit D217. I worked with Regina Hines, who was great. She was super sweet throughout the whole process, but on Wednesday March 18^th, SIX FREAKIN DAYS before I was SUPPOSED to move in she calls me up and tells me that the female who is currently living in MY APARTMENT decided to negate her 30-​day notice.
Now most decent companies make a tenant sign a ‘Notice of Intent to Vacate’ type deal when they pre-​lease an apartment, so shit like this doesnt happen. Needless to say I WAS PISSED! You mean to tell me that you’re taking MY HOME away from me? No, I do NOT work three jobs to be homeless. So I said that they need to move me into an apartment since I have a legal documentation saying that I have an apartment for March 24^th. The property manager told me that the only floor plans they had available were the ‘Columbus’ floor plan and that if I wanted to be put in one of those then I’d have to pay another $ 40 app fee and do that whole process again. I told her it wasnt happening but I wanted my $ 100 holding fee back and that I would come and pick it up so it would be faster. blah blah blah, there’s «Nothing she can do for me and she is so sorry this happened». Yeah right. This took all day, from about 1030 AM — 6 PM
So I went above her (I dont know her name) but shes Meridian Pointes Property Manager. I called Cirrus corporate Thursday morning at around 10AM. I briefed the lady who answered the phone and she forwarded me to the Regional Manager, Chasidy, who did not answer so I left a voicemail. Never got a call back. So I call corporate again Friday morning around the same time and was told that all the regional managers were not in their offices that day and were out visiting complexs. So I got forwarded to whomever is above Chasidy. And told her I was willing to move into a different complex but that I needed an apartment to move in to on March 24^th. And I still havent heard anything from corporate.
Not only that, but I was also told by Regina that my $ 100 check would be ready for me no later than Friday and that she would call me. That never happened. Surprise surprise. So thank you Meridian Pointe /​Cirrus Property Management for making me homeless =) Ya’ll are gems.

Meridian Pointe are apartments near Cal State Northridge. Not the best apartments to live in.
Let’s start off with the pros, it’s literally across the CSUN campus. It won’t take long to walk to your classes. Meridian Pointe has Taco Tuesday and Taco Thursday so they sell tacos, burritos, quesadillas and horchata but only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You also have access to a pool and a jacuzzi. You don’t have to pay bills; moreover, you only pay rent.
Now the cons, the apartment rooms are way to small. The kitchen is together with the living room. It looks big without furniture but once you put furniture in the living room, you have no space. The fridges leaks water so the floor is always wet. The stoves are old school. They are the flat ones with out fire so they take forever to heat up. The walls are made of brick so it feels like your incarcerated. The walls make the room always feel cold. The carpet is old and dirty. The hallways are creepy and always smell like weed. The office of the apartments look neat and fancy but don’t let that trick you.
You have an option to pay for «the zone». It’s 25 $ and it includes a gym, study rooms, theater and game room. They tell you all utilities are included but you have to pay another 25 $ to have access to «the zone».
I wouldn’t recommend these apartments.

FUCK YOU!!! MERIDIAN POINTE!!! Just because i park on the same spot every time I take out my car doesn’t mean that you can give me a parking violation warning even though I have the fucken parking permit on the DAMN MOTHER-​FUCKEN windshield!!! WAEIJFADSIHFJFEWA!!!
Not ONLY that but you wont even fucken ADMIT that you guys FUCKED UP!!! NOW my car has these fucken glue STAINS all over the windshield and it wont MOTHER-​FUCKEN COME OFF!!!
PLUS if the mail comes we have the RIGHTS to get our mail WHEN IT COMES!!! Don’t give me that SHIT OF AN EXCUSE saying that you cant give us our mail until we distribute the slips out into the mail box because its not fair to one to get their earlier and the other later… WTF!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU GERMAPHOBE! You fucken wear LATEX GLOVES when you fucken TYPE ON THE KEYBOARD!!!
PLUS the wall are SOO MOTHER FUCKEN THIN AS FUCK! They DONT even MENTION THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION when you sign up for the contract!!!
Not only that but these people are SCAMMERS!!! First when signing up for the lease they say that they will give you a discount and all that stuff and sound good right?! DONT LET THEM FOOL YOU!!! If you RENEW CONTRACT they add more money ontop of the lease rent you had the last contract! FUCK THAT SHIT!!!
I live in a 268−288sqft studio with my own bathroom and they charge me $ 989!!!
If I were you I rather live somewhere far more better than here!!! DO NOT MOVE HERE just because the campus is in front of the duplex! I know I made a major mistake there. I would rather live in a better place and walk a little more than live in this DUMP!!! Truthfully to say I would give these fuckers a 0 star but too bad I have to give them 1

Meridian Pointe is a great place to live, especially if you’re a student at CSUN. It has great amenities such as a pool and a jacuzzi. The pricing is moderate, which again benefits the budget of a college student. Aside from being in a safe environment, Meridian Pointe has security all night ready at your service. The leasing agents there are very helpful and kind. They greet you with a smile and a hello welcome to Meridian Pointe. My two favorite are Regina, my leasing agent, and Manny another leasing agent in the front desk. Regina was absolutely amazing when it came to leasing my apartment. She is such a doll. Manny is a pleasant person to talk to and is always ready to answer and questions or concerns any resident my have. They both go above and beyond for their residents, at least in my experience.

Way to go Meridian!

I have lived at the meridian for well over a year. Up to this point my stay here has been great and affordable. The leasing agents are by far the best at what they do. They are experts in providing a friendly (yet professional) service to future tenants as well as current ones. They take the time to address my concerns and are ways willing to be of service. As such, I will most likely re-​new my lease for another year. Plus, I love the environment and can’t get enough of the indoor gym!
Grateful Tenant–
A.G.

Toney is one of the best maintenance guys who works here. He takes time to care about each tenant and I really appreciate that! He actually fixed the problem instead of covering it up! Thank you Toney!!! :)

So… Meridian Pointe. It’s close to campus… thats the only positive thing I have to say about this place. As many of the other reviewers have mentioned, this place is infested with roaches and the management knows it. Mind you, that is a health hazard especially for those of us who have asthma like myself. I have had to go to the hospital for the first time in years since I’ve been here & I’ve only been here two months!!! Don’t let the lobby fool you. The apartments are shhhhityyyy. No ventilation. No space. On top of that it’s RIDICULOUSLY pricey, ESPECIALLY for the quality. I honestly would say just dorm or find a house or different apartment b/​c im miserable everyday & i say that w/​no exaggeration. I have been documenting EVERY problem that I’ve had & taking pictures of all maintenance requests I put in b/​c they will say that they filled a request even if they didn’t. I’ve even told my family that if anything extreme happens to me health wise, to have this apartment inspected & sue them for everything they got. LOL. im so serious tho. There was a white smokey looking air coming from my AC & a maintenance worker told me it was freon… upon doing research i found out that freon is a colorless gas. IF it was freon, that would have meant that there was a leak and that could cause things like nausea & dizziness which is the reason I was hospitalized. I nearly passed out!
Lets just sum it up & say that i GUARANTEE those who are selling you these apartments wouldn’t live in them themselves (THAT SAYS A LOT)

Lived here for a month now, its definitely the college experience. Loud music all the time, weed smell throughout the suffocating hallways, & best of all for the first time in my life I’m forced to live with roaches. Cleanliness is next to godliness in my belief, so my apartment is spotless & especially free of filth, so for roaches to exist in my household I’m appalled. The look of the place is what sold me, but the actuality of it is much different. Move in if you can put up with it I guess, I’m definitely moving out as soon as the lease is up.

I hated this apartment so much. I lived here for my freshman year at CSUN. Shared a studio with my roommate (yes, it was extremely tiny) and hated every second!
But I’ll start with the good. It was right across the street from school so I could walk to a lot of my classes in 10 – 15 minutes. That was awesome! But that was really the only good thing.
Everything about this apartment was horrible. First of all, for a tiny studio the rent was $ 1000, split with my roommate it was $ 500 each, but regardless the room was really small, especially for 2 girls. The kitchen sucked. It had one of those electric stove tops that took forever to heat. And the fridge that it came with was way too tiny. The carpet also looked like it was never changed because when I first moved in it was pretty dirty. My bed was right below the air conditioner/​heater and omg when that thing was in it would spit out these nasty black chunks onto my bed. I never got sick until I moved into this place. I was literally getting sick every month. And the moment I moved out I haven’t been sick. The ventilation in here sucks!
Oh and a lot of the people that live here are creepers. I think I got about 5 stalkers in this apartment? I was always scared to walk around the hallways. Even the staff (well just one in particular) creeped me out. I think he was maintenance? But either way totally unprofessional to be asking for my number…
And the number one thing I hated here was this place tried to rip me off!!! I paid I think 50 bucks a month to rent furniture since I wasn’t planning on buying any new furniture except for my mattress. So I told whoever was helping me that I wanted to rent furniture EXCEPT for the mattress and they said ok that’s fine! So after I moved out, maybe a month later, I got a letter from the apartment saying I OWE them like $ 800 bucks for 2 missing mattresses, mold, water damage all that bullshit. I was pissed! Honestly I think I left the apartment in better condition than when we first moved in! So I sent them an angry letter and luckily they gave back part of my security deposit instead of me paying them: p
So yeah! Don’t live in this place it’s literally a piece of shit. I hated my experience here. Maybe things have changed? But who knows I would never recommend this apartment complex to anyone!
