Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

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.

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.

9/14/23
Verified Renter

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.

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.
