The Esplanade apartments were constructed in 1912, offering upscale townhomes and flats in an Arts & Crafts style. The apartments boast a variety of floor plans in one-, two- and three-story arrangements with leaded art glass interior doors and windows, private entrances, gas fireplaces, and sitting porches. In 2005, the current owner, Carmer Watson Properties, purchased the buildings and proceeded to finish renovations to the structure. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, the Esplandade is one of two privately-owned properties in Meridian Park listed on the register.

When the Esplanade was being renovated, owners found an old moonshine still likely dating back to the prohibition era.
