Sitting at a population of about 125,000 people, Meridian offers a plethora of amenities to include beautiful city parks, locally owned and operated restaurants, shopping, and entertainment options.

Meridian is also conveniently located to the outdoor activities that Idaho is known for, such as campgrounds, trails for hiking and mountain biking, and rivers and lakes for fishing and water sports. Oh, and let's not forget about the winter sport enthusiasts. With three pristine ski resorts located nearby, you'll have ample opportunity to traverse the slopes.
