The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Meadow Creek Apartments
We had a great time living here! Office staff are professional & friendly, location is excellent and the area is very safe. Would rent here again should the opportunity arise.
Excellent staff, very responsive, very affordable rent in area, very close to shops and restaurants. Great service..
I moved into this complex about 4 months ago and so far everything is great. The only downside to this complex is there is no visitor parking spaces. If you have guests over, they have to park up the hill (2 minute walk). No problem walking down that hill but walking up is a little heart kicker. The complex is always clean, the pool is cleaned regularly, diverse, and quiet. I am happy with my decision of moving in here. These are the cheapest apartments i found that are in a decent neighborhood. I recommend paying this community a visit.
My wife and I have lived in these apartments for about 6 years now, and can easily say that we are happy with our living situation. We are located in a prime position in North County; 15 minutes from the nearest beach, and even closer to a wide variety of shopping centers. These two conveniences more than justify the price we pay for our rent. My wife and I have a one bedroom unit; it has a living room, kitchen, bathroom and a balcony with a storage closet. For the two of us, this unit is the perfect size; we have enough room for all of our stuff without feeling too cluttered. The apartment complex itself is run and maintained very professionally; the maintenance crew in particular does a very good job of keeping the apartments running correctly, and they never once have complained about having to come and help over the years. The office staff are all very friendly and professional as well. The complex has a nice sized pool and hot tub that are maintained regularly, as well as community grills and laundry rooms spread out throughout the complex. The only negative things I have to say about this complex are: the lack of guest parking (most visitors have to park on the curb at the top of the street), and the on-site gym (all of the equipment is old and not very well maintained). Overall, I would recommend this complex to someone who is looking for a well kept and affordable apartment in the North County area.
