I have been a resident for over four years. This apartment has now been bought by Cortland. It is extremely clear they have no idea what they’re doing. They claim they are renovating and jacking up the rent when the building has literally nothing to offer or justify these prices. I highly recommend looking at any other property in the area that actually has amenities. They don’t have 24/7 front desk staff. They don’t have a pool, and the gym is a joke. Hotels have bigger gyms.

This place is not worth the money. 20 available units as of 2/16 is not a good look. Homeless people get in a night and the package room is a mess. Staff has no regard for residents property. This place is far from “luxury”. All apartments in the area are better priced. Look elsewhere.

Property Manager at Cortland Ballston responded to this review
Hi there,
My name is Kevin, and I’m the new Senior Community Manager here at Cortland Ballston. I’m very sorry to hear about the concerns you’ve experienced, especially around building access, package management, and overall consistency in the... community. I understand how frustrating that can be, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective.
I’m focused on improving the resident experience moving forward, including security, cleanliness, and day-to-day operations. Our package room was cleaned and reorganized today, including added storage for smaller packages to help keep things more orderly. We’ve also updated all of the courtyard furniture, and our fitness center is currently undergoing a full renovation to enhance the overall amenity experience. In addition, all exterior windows were professionally washed last week, and our lobby and office area are scheduled for renovation shortly.
If you'd like to discuss your experience further or if there is anything we can do for you, please always feel welcome to reach out to us at ballston@cortland.com.

This building and the maintenance team are fantastic - location - great! However, the leasing team continuously doesn’t follow through on items. There has been reported issues in the gym for months with no follow through, the lady at the leasing desk is gone at random hours throughout the day continuously and only appears to be in office when other leasing staff are on site. The package room is a mess and the leasing team doesn’t do anything to organize it - the previous team organized it... continuously.
Lastly, I have asked for follow up communication multiple times on added charges and the lady at the desk, when there, all she says is she will ask her manager. She doesn’t seem to know the answer to any question. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone who values a good management team - mainly the reason people pick apartments over condor!
