Local Lifestyle
Meridian's convenient location is one of the best aspects of this city. It is situated in southwest Idaho's Treasure Valley, surrounded by mountains and agricultural lands. It is also close to major cities, such as Boise and Nampa, meaning residents do not miss out on city life.
Meridian is a family-friendly city comprised of several neighborhoods. From thriving areas like Bridgetower and Paramount to upscale neighborhoods like Sonna and City Center, everyone can find the perfect place to call home. Properties in Bridgetower are built on larger-than-average lots, giving you plenty of space to enjoy your yard and patio. The schools are excellent, and there are numerous amenities, such as swimming pools, clubhouses, parks, and biking and walking paths to enjoy.
Meanwhile, Saguaro Canyon has a more distinct southwestern theme, with scenic views of red rocks and cacti. SpurWing Greens, a newer community in Meridian, also has a lot to offer, including new tennis courts, a country club, and a large neighborhood.
Dining, Entertainment & Shopping
A trip to
The Village at Meridian is a must for the perfect day of shopping. This outdoor shopping center is the ideal gathering spot for friends and family, thanks to the abundance of shopping and dining options.
Before you get too hungry, stop by
Albertsons Market Street, the largest Albertsons store in the world. The supermarket, which spans over 100,000 square feet, has a wine cellar, an oyster bar, a mochi bar, freshly baked pizzas, and even a popcorn station.
Things to Do
The activities and events in Meridian are nearly endless, but if you are a speed fanatic, a visit to
Meridian Speedway is a must. The motorsport race track hosts stock car races from May to October, and you can watch events like boat racing, monster trucks, and sprint cars.
When the weather is warm, you can also visit
Roaring Springs Water Park for a family-fun adventure. There are over 20 water attractions at the park, including wave pools, boat rides, and speed slides. Even better, the
