Courtland Park

This building is undergoing a large apartment renovation project and is often quite noisy inside. I would not recommend living here until that's finished, which could be quite a while given how many apartments there are in the building.

If you like to shop, eat, socialize, exercise, commute easily on the orange or Silver lines, or just sit in your apartment all day, this location is great. Apartments of various shapes, sizes, and prices - with private balconies. If you get an apartment that faces west, you will be able to grow a garden on your sunny piece of property. Apartments are cleaned pretty well between rentals. They also may have some deals going - so don't be afraid to ask. Parking is available for an additional $50… per month for the first car. There are also storage spaces available for rent - though you could choose a apartment with larger closets. The people who work the front desk are very friendly. Maintenance requests are taken care of quickly. Gym in building isn't too busy, and there is a red room and a community room. Water, trash, and sewer are included in the rent. You are responsible for the electricity (electric appliances and heat and air conditioning), and if you get cable, phone, or Internet. Building currently only has ability to get xfinity cable and Internet. Verizon available for land lines (not cable based). Washer/dryer and dishwashers in units. The only drawback I have found is no pets allowed in the building. I didn't have a pet before moving in, but now want one (probably because I cannot). Read More

CP is well placed between metro lines (10 min walk to Clarendon, 5 min walk to Courthouse) and is adjacent to a number of bars, restaurants, and other venues. Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are a 5-10 min walk away for all your grocery needs. The staff is courteous and someone is always at the front desk monitoring access. The building is a little older, and needs a few updates, but is otherwise a solid place to live.

Courtland Park is overall a great place to live.

The apartments are spacious and in good condition. Some of the appliances are a little date (i.e., the oven does not have a self-cleaning feature, the dishwasher is not as strong as a more modern model), but in the balance it's excellent. Master bathrooms also come with a whirlpool tub. The walls are thick enough between apartments that noise does not carry, but within apartments they thin enough to hear loud conversations.

Other amenities:… Maintenance is excellent and always comes within 48 hours to fix issues. The gym is fully equipped with every possible cardio and weight lifting machine and rarely crowded. The apartment offers a community room with free wifi. The concierge receives packages (and never loses them, in my experience). Trash shoots are on every floor, but recycling has to be taken to the garage. Most importantly, the leasing office staff know who you are, are very willing and able to help, and fair with lease renewals. Read More
