Don’t join for amenities as they may all be broken and unfixed for many months at a time. But otherwise good place.

Cortland Research Park Apartments is an excellent community with well maintained grounds and good management. I have lived here for 8 years now and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. This apartment complex is in a very strategic location close to the mall and many great grocery stores. The office staff are very attentive and the maintenance crews are extremely efficient and go above and beyond.

great community

March 26, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I’ve been living here for over 3 years and felt the need to write a review because I cannot fathom all the negative reviews. It’s almost like a different complex. They do free monthly events for the residents from cocktail classes to blind date with a book. Obviously your neighbors also make where you live a difference and I guess I won the lottery because everyone is always so nice and friendly. Overall there are some cons but personally they’re quite minor compared to all the pros.
