July 18, 2025I’m going on five years here at Courtland Desert Ridge. How fast the time flies. And you know what? I like it here! Sure, I could go on about the heated pools, awesome Fitness Center, upscaled amenities and great support from the front office staff and maintenance team; but really, it’s the peacefulness of living here. Morning and Evening walks are common. Everyone waves and says hi. And after a long day at work, that sure is nice to come home to. Yep, I’m staying!??Property Manager Responded

March 31, 2025I highly recommend Cortland properties. Staff is great and any maintenance issues you may have are taken care of in a reasonable time frame which is nice. Units have a comfortable welcome home feel that other complexes do not. Grounds and amenities are cleaned regularly I checked out several complexes in the area when I was looking to rent and Cortland Properties was the bestReview from Apartments.com
