Leasing office is terrible. They only care about new tenants and dont care once you move in and give them money. Service team quality had plummeted in the last year since couple of the team members left. We have 2 month old work order and a garbage disposal that hasnt worked for over a week. They will just mark the work order complete when they didnt even come to look st the problem

If you can find literally any other place to rent an apartment, go there and not to Cortland. You will living in a dilapidated community with unprofessional "professionals", pests, and mold. It is not worth the rates they are charging for rent.

Price is high for what you get. Cheaply constructed, the fees add up, not properly maintained, amenities are frequently “out of order” for long periods of time, it just isn’t worth the money.
