Cortland

Cortland Vesta is about a 5 min drive from UAB. It is very safe and you have access to the onsite parking garage and 24 hr gym.

Super nice, safe building, nice amenities, quick response from maintenance the few times I've needed them. Cannot hear neighbors at all, floors/ceilings entirely concrete

Super timely maintenance, great communication from leasing office, building is clean and has great amenities

Very good management.

The grounds and amenities seemed much nicer on the website than in person. The leasing office staff are not very helpful, and often treat residents with questions like an inconvenience. Additionally, this company’s leases contain a clause allowing access to the rented unit without notice at any time, and they have exercised that.

So far I really like living here, the property management is helpful and responsive and seems to be transparent. The maintenance is also quite efficient.

I basically have no complaints. The package room needs to be updated but otherwise, it is great. Management has been lovely and the building is really nice.

I've loved living at Cortland Arlington because of the ease to the metro, lots of restaurants and a Safeway and Target down the street, and upgraded amenities and appliances. The prices are comparable to the apartments nearby but the beauty here is that the building was recently updated & because it's a boutique apartment, it's not crowded in any of the amenity spaces.

I moved from the Lofts and have totally felt like I'm living in a different country. Cortland has an amazing gym, wonderful amenities including a gorgeous pool, lots of sunlight, is very pet friendly, and is affordable all at the same time. It's just a 10-15 minute walk from most things downtown, making it perfect to meet up with friends and then walk home feeling safe. I was worried the walls would be thin but I literally can't hear anything from any of my neighbors ever. It's also a very friendly community and I've made a lot of friends since moving in. I'm also dealthy afraid of bugs and have only seen one or two since moving in, which is kind of the best you can do in Durham! They're very responsive if I ask them to come spray for bugs but also spray our floor as a whole once a month. I literally cannot see myself living anywhere else. The one downside is that if you're getting a studio the place can be small compared to other apartments, but I've actually found storage for everything I had in my ginormous apartment last year and am very comfortable. You just have to be smart about storage and making the most of the space you do have (i.e. getting storage bins for under the bed etc). There are also some gate issues, but I've never been locked out myself (sometimes the gates just kind of sit open).

Cortland Bull City is walking distance from downtown Durham. The building management is responsive, helpful, and approachable. The apartments are spacious and well-kept. I have enjoyed living here.

Best apartment in Rosslyn!

Cars stolen, cars and trucks broken into,Bugs ,Bugs and more Bugs, A car in the parking lot with Bullet holes in it, Rules at the pools never followed and no supervision, unsupervised children, Glass containers not allowed in pool area, no inforsment, I have pictures of broken glass in pool area. No smoking property, HA! HA! HA! buts everywhere, The worst management team I have ever seen, cars towed without proper notefication, office staff doesn't even know how E-mails work.

Been a resident for 3 years, had enough this area is UNSAFE. 2 shootings in 3 years of living here, June 2023 and June 2025. June 2023 shooting occurred in the apartment on the 4th floor, there was blood in the stairwells and a bullet hit a water line that flooded all floors below it including our apartment. With a flooded closet, the only consession Courtland on Blake gave us was a fan to dry the water out over a week... 2nd shooting recently in June 2025 was filmed on twitter (https://x.com/dobetterdnvr/status/1929752998420603383?s=46&t=hm8VPivnI20B529yoJX-kw), that is Cortland on Blake in the background, my specific apartment was in the background we saw the gun and the guy get hurt. Garage doors are broken monthly, with car break-ins frequent especially for people on the first floor of the garage which I am. AC has been broken from march to june of this year, they told us to open our windows... Hot tub jets never work, its maybe 80 degrees on a good day. The pool is nice about the only positive of this place. DO NOT CHOOSE THIS PLACE IF YOU VALUE YOUR OWN LIFE AND SAFETY IN YOUR OWN HOME.

If I could give zero stars, I would.

I’ve been a resident at Cortland Rosslyn and recently tried to transfer to another apartment within the same building—something that, according to Cortland’s own policy, should come with a $750 internal transfer fee.

Instead, they charged me a $5,150 early termination fee, as if I were breaking my lease entirely. I reached out early in the morning to get this corrected, and no one bothered to respond for hours. Because of this outrageous and incorrect charge, my bank account is now overdrawn and I can’t pay my credit card bill on time. If this charge goes through, I will be reporting it as fraudulent activity to my bank and potentially seeking legal counsel.

The complete lack of urgency and accountability is shocking for a property that claims to value its residents. I’ve also had to deal with ongoing maintenance issues over the past year (e.g., amenities like the golf simulator being broken for months), but this is by far the worst experience yet.

To anyone thinking of moving here: be very cautious. Mistakes like this should not happen—especially when they result in real financial harm to tenants. And when they do, they should be corrected immediately. Cortland, do better.

No safety concerns whatsoever. Safe mailroom, about a mile walk from the CCTMA shuttle and right across from MARTA stop. Very minimal pest issue that management dealt with right away.
