Cortland is a great community. The area is beautiful with so many nature conservation areas and being in the middle of a neighborhood. The staff is always quick to respond whether it's a maintenance request or a question to the Leasing office. I've been to a few of the community events and they're so much fun and allow me to meet my neighbors.
