Cortland Pentagon City

I've lived at Cortland Pentagon City since 2020 and have had a great experience! The leasing team (Patrick and Dashe in particular!) have been incredible to work with!! They're super friendly and easy to work with—they made the whole process straightforward and easy. They’re quick to respond and really go out of their way to help!

Wonderful place to live . Macey was Wonderful.
Thank you

The Unit - Its spacious and renovated. The concessions when we moved here was also a key reason we chose this property. Be prepared to spend 150-190 on electricity. We normally run it on eco mode, however still it average to that amount. And we know something is wrong with the building because in our prior apartment buildings we have never exceeded 80 dollars.

Common Areas - Since we moved here in January, there has been nonstop noises from renos. When we toured the building the lady said it... would finish in June. We are well into July and it's still going on. The hallways are constantly dirtydu/sty. It started with the unit to our left, and then the driveway in front of us was being renovated, which you can see / hear from our unusable balcony now. Then the unit on top of us started renovations. So at one point we were hearing noises from M-F, 8-5 all around us. And now it’s July and they started renovations to the unit on our right. I have shown leasing videos and they just don’t care. Also the driveway is still not done 4 months later, and this makes it difficult for Uber/Lyft drivers to pick you up or deliver food. My wife has herniated disc in her back and we had to get her a walking stick because the walkway is to small for her wheelchair. Again we would've picked any other place nearby.

Leasing Office - They just give you textbook responses when you go to them with problems. My wife sometimes gets migraines to the point she is bedridden. Again we were told during our tour, that it would be done by summer, we can manage its NBD. So in June I complained to the leasing office and ask when would it be done, bc that day there noise to the point you couldn’t hear anything; and my wife had a migraine attack. To which after saying my wife was bed ridden, showing leasing videos of the noise; she just said “Oh you can use lounge” and “There’s a construction clause in your contract” To which I repeated the point “she is bedridden she can’t move” and “ I understand but like you said it would be done by summer and we are well into summer” to which she got defensive and said “that was for amenities but for apartments she doesn’t know” so I just told her well then you weren’t clear during the tour and I felt duped. And she just said “What do you want us to do about that”. I was just fed up and left. Another lady did chase me and did say she would get the manager to call me, but never heard back and I avoid interacting with them because of this sour incident.

I love how modern and spacious my apartment is. I also like how close everything is to the building because I can walk instead of drive. Those things plus the nice amenities definitely make this place worth it.

There has been constant construction noise for over 15 months now. Absolutely *DO NOT* move here if you value peace and quiet - there is incessant banging and hammering audible throughout the building if you're fortunate enough to not have them working on your floor at a given moment. Other times you might be unlucky enough to have the hammering and power tools right outside your apartment door. I am not kidding when I say that there has barely been a single day in over a year that I don't hear... any construction noise, which has made living here and working from home a nightmare. I am constantly having to apologize for the noise on work calls. I *HIGHLY* suggest you reconsider if you are thinking about moving here, especially if you work from home. Your health and sleep will decline in the long run. I'd say move to a newer building in the area with no renovation going on. Their renovation will run through next year at this rate of slow renovation. The elevators are all run down. They'll fool you with renovated lobby and renovated units. But the rent you will not justify the noise disturbances, sleep deprivation, and mental health decline due to the loud noises. Read More
