Meadowbrook

Grassy stream settlement

Meadowbrook is a common American place name for towns, neighborhoods, subdivisions, and streets, evoking pastoral imagery of open fields and gentle streams.

The name suggests pleasant, semi-rural character—neither wilderness nor dense urban development.

Like Oakdale or Pleasantview, it belongs to a class of compound names designed to sound appealing to homebuyers: The Meadowbrook subdivision broke ground in 1958.
