Property Ratings at Cortland Desert Ridge
I have enjoyed living here and feel safe. The apartment is perfect for my needs. Other renters are generally very nice. I'd recommend Cortland to anyone looking for a better than market priced apartment with a high standard of living.
Staff are very friendly and helpful. Any service request is done immediately.
Great location, on site staff, and amenities. Nice cross section of age, diversity of renters.
Perfect location and non hassle living for a senior couple or individual
The location is great, the the complex is Clean , Quiet & Well Maintained.. Management as a whole is very good, the Manager Candice is Always such a pleasure to deal with, she is extremely gracious..!!
Everything you want in Apartment living! A professional staff maintaining a clean, quiet and comfortable living environment for families and single people. This is a great place to call Home!
Great location, attentive customer service, great amenities and diverse cross section of residents. Great senior no hassle living!
Cortland Desert Ridge is positioned in the right location in N. East Phoenix . This allows for great access to freeways , shopping and fun activities for both singles n families . It’s a safe community where everyone is friendly and feels at home .
Overall, the service is great and I really enjoy living in such a diverse community.
We have been quite impressed with our time here. From the management, to the maintenance, to the landscaping upkeep, to the utility services, it has been a first-rate experience. Surprisingly, for being in such a relatively quiet neighborhood, within a mile in either direction are found about every type of restaurant, shopping, entertainment, and major roadways (51 and 101). We'll say it again - quite impressive.
I have not lived at many apt complexes in my life but I think that Cortland would probably rate very high in livability. It certainly rates higher than the one I lived in before in Florida, although that one was considerable older.
Cortland Desert Ridge is a wonderful place to live. The grounds are well maintained and are beautiful. The pools and exercise area are kept clean and in good repair. Maintenance issues are addressed very quickly and they follow-up on their requests. We would highly recommend moving into Cortland Desert Ridge.
First of all it would be great if my parking spot didn't get flooded every time it rains. It has been over 3 weeks that we had a massive amount of rain, and my parking spot is still totally mudded. Not even to try to power wash it so I can have a decent clean spot. Oh... wait, if you power wash it will flood again... I get it! Also, I have never lived in a place where the AC unit is so loud that is affecting my sleep. It's old, inefficient and extremely loud.
Candace the property Mgr. is a GEM..!! She is always so Professional, Informative & Helpful. The Maintenance team is also professional & reliable.. The property is well maintained and issues are address almost immediately.

Darren and the maintenance team are the best! Never had such a good experience with maintenance in any other apartment complex. Candice, Faith and Paige are always so welcoming and cheerful in the office and make it a great place to live! Happy to call Cortland home. :)
The staff and management is always receptive, kind, professional, timely, and happy to help. I’m always greeted with a smile and remembering my name is always something that makes people feel special and not just another number. Overall, great value, great staff and management, and haven’t had anything but positive interactions with everyone including other residents.
Cortland Desert Ridge, I can’t recommend it enough. Every aspect. You don’t find apartment complexes like this every day, so if they happen to have an opening, I would nab it :-)
Our experience at Cortland has been nothing but positive! From the office staff to the maintenance team to the people who live here and the amenities! You won’t regret choosing Cortland Desert Ridge as your next apartment home!
I have high praise for the office staff. They are always friendly and responsive whenever I have needed assistance. I cannot say enough good things about them!
Overall my experience has been good, just a few things can be changed.
Cortland Desert Ridge is by far the best apartment we have ever lived in! From the welcoming and helpful staff, how on top of it maintenance is, the amenities, the fun activities they plan, and everything in between! So grateful to call it home!
Great place to live! Roomy apartments, modern recreational facilities, and friendly staff.
Amenities and the apartments are great. Only downside is parking. I can barely ever get parking for my car and I can't have visitors over for the same reason
I really enjoy living at Cortland. When they say luxury living it really shows, from the staff to the amenities although I am relatively new to the area I would recommend Cortland. This is one of my favorite apartment living experiences to date!
We would highly recommend Cortland Desert Ridge as a place to call home. The complex feels safe, is clean, and has many amenities. The maintenance and office staff are very personable and always ready to help.
Apartments are ok. Rents high for what you receive! Last parking is a nightmare so many open spots not being used because they are for “future residents” making you park across the street from the complex then walking over.
Honestly the place overall is really nice. The only thing is it’s pretty pricey for a place where the parking is garbage. There’s little to no free parking for the homes that are 3bed with roommates with multiple cars. Most people end up having to park across the street in the business parking. And walk home.
Location is great! Noise is kept at a minimum/is rarely a concern. The apartment interiors are new and feel luxurious.
Compared to the options in the area, Cortland Desert Ridge Apartments have been the best place for us. They are reasonably priced, provide higher quality service and appliances, located in a convenient yet private part of Phoenix, and don't feel too crowded.
As opposed to other apts. I have lived in, Cortland has surpassed all of them in my opinion.
Cortland Desert Ridge is a safe and comfortable living situation.
I highly recommend Cortland properties. Staff is great and any maintenance issues you may have are taken care of in a reasonable time frame which is nice. Units have a comfortable welcome home feel that other complexes do not. Grounds and amenities are cleaned regularly I checked out several complexes in the area when I was looking to rent and Cortland Properties was the best
This is a great place to live. The surroundings are clean and beautiful. Good neighbors too.
Cortland Desert Ridge has created a HOME environment that's been backed with professionalism with a touch a of family vibe. Love it, love it, love it. Keep up the great work.

We love living here due to the safe, quiet, and beautiful community it provides for us and our two dogs.
