This is a clean, comfortable, chic building to live in. It is close to the train, but the building is quiet. I just moved to the city and the area is fun, young, and accessible to just about anything you would want and need. There’s always a cute dog to pet and someone in the lobby to say hi to, I would recommend the area and the building to someone moving in the area.

Cortland River North has been such an amazing community to be a part of. Imani and her team are the best people ever, as are the other residents. The signature scent in the lobby is also *chef's kiss*.
