I am impressed with the Management and Maintenance Teams at Cortland Research Park Apartments and how responsive they are to the tenants' needs. I am very pleased with Nicholle Rentas and Nate in the Management Office not only because of their personalities, but because they actually are efficient and ensure that the community is well maintained and all tenants' needs are addressed in a timely manner. The level of communication regarding community safety and security and even tenant concerns is... always very efficient. I have lived in this community for over 8 years now and I find that so much effort has been made by this Management Team to provide the best service possible and their efforts are greatly appreciated. I love living here and the amenities like the gym and the pool are always very well maintained and clean and are top notch !!!

Don’t join for amenities as they may all be broken and unfixed for many months at a time. But otherwise good place.
