Southeast Meridian - Meridian, ID Area Guide

Families flock to this bustling suburb

Suburban Family-Friendly Commuter Economy

Southeast Meridian is designed for living and this is clearly reflected in the beautiful homes that line the street. The greater Meridian area booms with business and employment opportunities. Commuters looking to rent or buy have access to a number of options within a 15-minute drive to the heart of the city.

Many residents start their day at the Griddle for a classic breakfast, or head to Dutch Bros coffee shop to get their daily dose of caffeine before heading off to shop, work, or play. Southeast Meridian and the surrounding area provide opportunities for all three. For a fun day close to home, take in a movie at the Majestic on Cinema Drive. Pick up any needed odds and ends at the shops found in Majestic Plaza, and then head over to Brodie's on Overland for dessert. Be sure to try the signature shaved ice, a local favorite.
