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 MERX Slabtown
the MERX apartments is absolutely lovely, with a lovely community! if you’re looking a new, adorable small apartment with a rooftop, lovely lobby, courtyard & gym all in the building. i 10000% recommend MERX. i moved in to the first floor back in April 2025. i will make a note for any future MERX first floor tenants that move in, its a bit loud down here. you’re either across the hall from the garbage doors which are loud & big, or you’re across from the Amazon lockers & common walking areas. it’s really not as bad as i thought it was gonna be, & my cat & i got used to it fast. but if you’re sensitive to noise right outside your door, i’d recommend goin up on floors. also - street parking is really not that bad at all. MERX just went through a management change from CloudTen to Avenue 5. as a ex-property manager, these are both amazing companies, who have done wonderful things. of course never perfect, just like us! i do have to say the CloudTen team will NEVER be forgotten with their amazing responsiveness, friendliness, vibes, etc. they always waved to you walking in the front door, always said hi as they could, and soooo lovely to talk too. they were the reason i even chose MERX compared to other nearby comparable complexes. the Avenue 5 team is also amazing! i’m sure they are still settling into this big change in taking over a property they are still getting to know, & busy answering everyone’s questions. they have been super responsive to me with questions so far. i hope to see the team become more interactive via social media, events & saying hi as time goes on. a simple wave from the office brings lots of good vibes!! :) i love living here at the MERX. i’ve met some phenomenal neighbors & people who live here. i’ve made so many friends as a woman in her 20s living here. what an amazing area, across the street is an amazing pasta place that plays live music you get to hear sometimes, and you also get a phenomenal thai place across the street. i’ll make another review when i decide to move out - which isn’t anytime soon! thanks for all your efforts so far Levi, Hailey & team!
