About The Meadows in Independence
The Meadows is a cul-de-sac community of twenty custom-built homes in southwest Independence, Ohio. This subdivision comprises the streets of Meadows Dr and MacKenzie Dr, which are located a half-mile west of Brecksville Rd, off the south side of E Pleasant Valley Rd.

The Meadows homes feature stately full brick or stone facades, with a few homes boasting full brick surround.

Homes are appointed with desirable amenities including ceramic tile and hardwood flooring, two-story foyers with curved or turned staircases, garage entry mud halls with benches and/or cubbies, first floor laundry rooms with cabinets and utility tubs, formal dining rooms with tray ceilings, private dens, and fireplaced great rooms with vaulted or two-story ceilings that are open to large kitchens with granite or quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, center island with breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, and dinette area.
