    Cortland Bull City, for the price they are asking, is an excellent value in Downtown Durham. It is in a very social area with plenty to do, and the quality of the apartment is great overall.

    My husband and I have been living here for almost three years. We have loved it! The management team is always happy to help with any questions or issues that arise. Maintenance requests are placed on their online portal and typically addressed the same day! I love having 24hr access to the gym. The pool is a great amenity in the summer and larger than most other apartment pools I’ve seen. It’s also within walking distance to downtown and ATC which we love. They also have not raised our rent ...
    once! I would highly recommend Cortland Bull City!

    I really enjoy living here! The front office staff is wonderful. I feel very secure in the building and garage and love being able to host events in the community spaces. The interior of the apartment is pretty nice and comparable to other buildings in Downtown Durham.

    This community seems great the amenities are nice and its proximity to downtown means most of what you need is within walking distance. The community is always clean and has a very nice smell unlike most hotel style apartment complexes. The staff is super friendly and always seem willing to help. The only warning I have is half of the EV chargers are broken not an issue for most people but if you own an EV and rely on home charging it is definitely something to look into

    I enjoyed every day with the gorgeous sunset view and the amazing greenery that I was looking for! Every part of the complex gave me an amazing view of Durham, which made me love living here even more. The staff was so helpful, and Megan, the manager, went above and beyond to ensure nice accommodations. I highly recommend it as the best place to live in downtown Durham.

  • Not Worth It

    October 16, 2023
    The management is very nice, but there are multiple issues that they do not address well. Small examples include a dysfunctional package delivery system, broken door handles on fire doors that aren't fixed, and most annoyingly, a garage door that frequently breaks. At this time, it has been broken for 4.5 months, and the attempts at fixing it have only broken other things. This led to lots of car break-ins and non-tenets wandering the building, once with a weapon. Nice building, but for the ...
    price, the management needs to do better at upkeep.

      Hello, Thanks for taking the time to respond to provide feedback on your experience at Cortland Bull City. We would love to take this opportunity to address your concerns. As we receive updates about our gate, we do send out updates to the community. We would love to ensure that you are on this communication, so you don't miss any updates. Unfortunately, when working with vendors we do have to rely on their schedule and workmanship. Unfortunately, we have had several unforeseen delays due to manufacturing issues with parts. Regarding crime in our area, we have implemented third party security for several months now as well as working with Durham PD and are happy to say that this has been quite effective. Our office is always available to talk through what we are actively working on as well as listening to what we can improve upon to make your experience better. Please feel free to reach out to us at the office or via email at bullcity@cortland.com. -Cortland Bull City Team
