Courtland Towers

Everything. The amenities and views sell it for everyone. It’s so nice and updated. Everything is just exceptional and we’ve had no issues in a year. They’re doing construction often but it’s done so quickly and they hire so many people to get it done fast.

Don't move here. Everyone in the reviews "hit the nail on the head" when it comes to illustrating the intentional abuse Dittmar has imposed upon its residents.

Aside from their traditional business model of high frequency turnover to increase rent and fees per new tenant, they actually leveraged the pandemic to accelerate their strategy of having all their tenants move out so they could renovate the archaic and already overpriced units.

They did this by providing an uninhabitable environment... through reckless noise pollution. And if you don't leave by breaking your lease early and paying 4 months rent as a penalty, they have the right to evict you, so it's either traditional eviction or constructive eviction, take your pick. Thanks for playing.

And Dittmar, when you read this, save the time and hold off on providing the generic front desk number to "talk to me about my experience." You know exactly what you've been doing and what you'll continue to do. You flat out don't care, so stop portraying some false narrative that you give any sort of a consideration about your tenants' living experience and overall well-being. Read More

Construction has been insanely loud for over a year. Would recommend choosing an apartment complex where you can hear yourself think.

Courtland Towers has turned into a complete construction site which consistently pollutes its tenants' units with over 80 decibels of noise from 8am-5pm. This will go on for YEARS until every last resident who currently resides in a non-modernized unit moves out, which can't be soon enough for us. Unfortunately, most of us signed our leases before the pandemic, so if we have to break our lease, it's a 60 day move out requirement AND a 60 day month penalty, so you're really stuck here financially... for 4 more months past your breaking point :).

For those who might have signed at the beginning of the pandemic, they might have thought Dittmar would consider their tenants' health before simply shrugging their shoulders and saying "we're sorry for the inconvenience," and permitting the rate of construction to actually increase due to the increased move outs.

Still think the $100 in savings per month is worth it? Hammering starts at 8:00am every day M-F and then demolition starts at 10:00am on the dot. This cocktail of noise pollution goes until about 5:00pm and even if your unit is not located next to or near one of the units being "modernized," the paralyzingly disruptive sound of construction reverberates across the hallways and up and down the floors.

Still think it's worth it for the amenities? Come tour the building between M-F 8-5 and walk through a couple of floors or simply ask one of the exhausted tenants who is standing like a zombie in the lobby.

The environment here has been rendered completely uninhabitable, forget about any coherent thought for more than 15 seconds at a time during the construction hours and at night when you can hear every word and footstep from your neighbors on their balconies or above you in the "modernized" flooring.

Resigning my lease here has been the biggest residential mistake I've ever made. Read More

Living in this building is absolutely infuriating. The apartments have been under construction for the past few years. According to management, there are plans for it to continue for the next 3-5 years. Management has constantly refused requests to make the environment more livable. They have no regard for the tenants who live here and make no effort to listen to our concerns despite paying market price for a unit that is not suitable for daily living. When I initially expressed my concerns to... management, they stated construction would take place from 8am-5pm, however, on multiple occasions I have heard it as early as 7am and as late at 8pm. I understand the need for construction, but this is not ordinary. There is persistent and loud power tool use, drilling and hammering. At times, I have even felt my ceiling shake. I am no longer able to work from home, which I used to do 3-4 days a week.

Living in this apartment has been the single most regrettable decision of my life. I hope that others will read this and reconsider signing a lease with Courtland Towers. On the assumption that management continues to downplay the disruptiveness of the construction as they did to me, I have attached two clips. The first two are in my bedroom before 8am a few months ago and the other is from today, and example of how it sounds in the hallways daily. Read More
