    Cortland New Independence is a nice place to live, good location, safety and clean. Cortland apartments has easy access to close to restaurants, schools, main roads and shopping centers. Management team do a pretty good job keeping good communication with the lenders.

                                              The leasing team did a great job helping me move from a two bedroom apartment to a three bedroom when I needed one on the first floor because of a disability. Communication on maintenance issues is poor.
