    Cortland River Oaks has been home for 15 years and I love it! Location is 1A, close to the Buffalo Bayou, to downtown, to many good restaurants and shops. We have nice gardens and a great pool, plus several services that make our lives easier. The Cortland team is very efficient and friendly!

  • Amazing Location

    October 31, 2025
    My husband and I toured 7 complexes along the buffalo bayou. The access from these apartments is by far the best. Plus the complex itself is lush and green and excellently maintained. It’s perfect for our dog. And our leasing agent, Stephanie, was great. She wasn’t pushy like some agents at other communities. The entire staff is wonderful. We couldn’t be happier.

  • Great choice near Buffalo Bayou

    October 25, 2025
    What I love most is the greenery, most apartments I saw in this area were hotel style but I love the nature feel this property has. There’s lots of trees and plants all around and it’s easy to catch Buffalo bayou trail.

    I toured 14 managed apartments in Houston and I'm so glad I chose Cortland River Oaks. I think it's the best neighborhood to live in Houston if you care about walkability and easy access to the city offerings. There is a good share of younger people living here, but the community is quiet. The apartments have a much better layout than most of the newer buildings in the city, and it beats them in price to value. Amenities are good too.

    I would not recommend Cortland River Oaks. While the property looks nice at first glance, the reality is frustrating. Management failed to communicate major construction projects, leaving residents to deal with constant noise and disruption without notice. For the rent charged, the lack of professionalism and transparency is unacceptable.

      Thank you for your feedback. We want to clarify that the community is undergoing renovations, and this information is always clearly disclosed in the lease documents at the time of signing. We understand how construction can be disruptive and apologize for any inconvenience caused. We strive to maintain transparency and professionalism throughout this process and appreciate your understanding as we work to improve the community for all residents. If you have any further concerns, please feel free to reach out to our management team directly. -Your Team at Cortland River Oaks

  • Beautiful Community

    August 6, 2025
    From the staff in the leasing office to the community itself, I knew during my apartment search that this was going to be my new home. Stephanie was not only helpful and took her time to show me around but patient with all my questions during the process while applying and moving in. This is a great community, maintenance is quick with requests and the amenities are excellent. Very quiet and peaceful.

  • Fantastic quaint complex

    July 3, 2025
    I’ve lived at Cortland River Oaks for several months now, and I can confidently say this is one of the best apartment communities in the area. From the moment I moved in, the staff has been incredibly welcoming and responsive. The leasing and maintenance teams are professional, quick to respond, and genuinely care about residents' satisfaction.
