    Leasing office is terrible. They only care about new tenants and dont care once you move in and give them money. Service team quality had plummeted in the last year since couple of the team members left. We have 2 month old work order and a garbage disposal that hasnt worked for over a week. They will just mark the work order complete when they didnt even come to look st the problem

    If you can find literally any other place to rent an apartment, go there and not to Cortland. You will living in a dilapidated community with unprofessional "professionals", pests, and mold. It is not worth the rates they are charging for rent.

    Price is high for what you get. Cheaply constructed, the fees add up, not properly maintained, amenities are frequently “out of order” for long periods of time, it just isn’t worth the money.

    Avoid, avoid, avoid. Consistently raising rent and admin fees, yet quality continues to drop as they cram more and more residents on the property. Facilities are clearly not designed to accommodate this many residents.

    It is a great apartment, good cleanliness, good service but if you’re unlucky you’ll have a downstairs neighbor that plays loud bass every night. So I hope you’re lucky.

  • Complete Nightmare — Avoid This Place

    June 18, 2025
    We’ve been living here for two months, and the experience has been nothing short of a disaster. It started before we even moved in. The original apartment assigned to us was located deep in the back of the community, and to reach the front door, we would have had to drive over six or seven steep speed bumps every single time. We requested to switch to another unit before moving in, and while management agreed, they never updated the system properly. As a result, our resident portal was still ...
    linked to the old unit. Maintenance requests kept getting sent to the wrong apartment — and two months later, this issue still hasn’t been fixed. The portal access itself was broken for the first month, so we couldn’t pay rent. We were still charged a late fee and haven’t received a refund yet — even though the delay was entirely on their end. Then there’s the maintenance team. Our refrigerator was overcooling and freezing our food. A technician came and claimed it was low on Freon — which doesn’t make sense at all, since low Freon should cause the fridge to not cool properly. He filled it anyway, and now the freezer doesn’t work at all — everything is melting. On top of that, he left the back of the fridge completely exposed (see photo). Completely unprofessional. And finally, the mail room is a mess. There are packages scattered all over the floor, making it a daily hassle to find anything. Even though there’s a locker system, and the package pileup is out of control. I really hoped this would be a good place to live, but between the broken systems, unhelpful support, and sloppy maintenance, it’s been a constant headache. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

      Hello, We appreciate you sharing your concerns and are truly sorry for the frustration you both have experienced. Regarding the portal and maintenance mix-up, our team did approve the apartment transfer prior to move-in, and while the internal update caused some confusion, we’ve been actively working with our software provider to correct that error. We apologize for the delay and any inconvenience it caused. We want to ensure both of you feel comfortable in your home, and our team is happy to review your account and confirm that everything including your refrigerator and billing has been fully resolved. We’d love the opportunity to speak with you both directly to make things right. Please reach out to the office at your convenience so we can connect. -Your Cortland Research Park team

    Cortland RTP is a nice place to live, the landscaping is nice, pool is nice and the volleyball court and park does give residents something to do. However, the apartments do need some upgrading, from plumbing to painting. I would like to see the trash disposal area better maintained and the furniture around the community should be better upkept for residents to enjoy. I have been living here for three years and there is a lot of resident turn over. They do have a gym, and resort style pool but ...
    maybe a ping pong table, community garden, and hammocks around the community would be some extra amenities to keep residents around longer. Overall, the community is pretty quiet, it’s just older and could use some upgrading.

    The building is old but I love the layout refurbish AC units in the entire complex definitely not worth the payout
