March 31, 2025I highly recommend Cortland properties. Staff is great and any maintenance issues you may have are taken care of in a reasonable time frame which is nice. Units have a comfortable welcome home feel that other complexes do not.

March 31, 2025Honestly the place overall is really nice. The only thing is it’s pretty pricey for a place where the parking is garbage. There’s little to no free parking for the homes that are 3bed with roommates with multiple cars. Most people end up having to park across the street in the business parking. And walk home.Review from Apartments.com

March 31, 2025Apartments are ok. Rents high for what you receive! Last parking is a nightmare so many open spots not being used because they are for “future residents” making you park across the street from the complex then walking over.Review from Apartments.com
