Property Ratings at Cortland River Oaks
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!

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.
Property Manager at Cortland River Oaks, Responded To This Review

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.

Hi there, thank you for taking time to leave us a review! Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance. -Cortland River Oaks Team
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.

It’s wonderful to know you’re enjoying the amenities and that our team has been attentive to your needs. We truly appreciate your recommendation! -Your Team at Cortland River Oaks
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.
Property Manager at Cortland River Oaks, Responded To This Review
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
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.
Property Manager at Cortland River Oaks, Responded To This Review
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're honored you chose our community as your new home. It's wonderful to hear that Stephanie made such a positive impression—she truly goes above and beyond for our residents, and we’ll be sure to share your kind words with her. We're also glad you’re enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, responsive maintenance team, and top-notch amenities. Welcome to the community—we’re so happy to have you here!
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.

I have lived in Cortland properties since 2021 and I don’t plan to live in any other complexes short of me purchasing my own home. There is something about the quality of the way that the communities are taken care of – from the landscaping, to the speed of answering maintenance requests, to the beautiful design of common areas, to the planning of resident events, and the amazing people that tend to work in the leasing offices. I’m not biased, although my name is Courtlandt lol. But I truly believe that they have figured out how to make living in an apartment seem effortless and peaceful. A perk I love is their guarantee where they allow you to move within the complexes without an issue. It’s why I have always decided to stay with them even when I’ve moved to a different state. 10 out of 10 I would recommend anyone to live in a Cortland property!
Property Manager at Cortland River Oaks, Responded To This Review
Hi Courtlandt, thank you so much for taking the time to provide your feedback! We are so happy to hear you are enjoying all the benefits our communities have to offer and have had positive experiences with Cortland. If there is anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate to reach out! -Your team at Cortland River Oaks
I’ve been a resident at Cortland River Oaks and it’s been an absolute nightmare due to relentless disruptions. The fitness center was shut down for renovations from November 11, 2024, to February 1, 2025, with no alternatives or compensation, forcing me to shell out over $200/month for an external gym. The noise is unbearable—constant hammering, shouting, and leaf blowers from superficial construction projects (e.g., January 8, March 7, and June 4, 2025) have obliterated any chance of a peaceful work-from-home environment or rest. It’s infuriating to learn management is employing undocumented workers for these shoddy projects, adding to the chaos with their unprofessional behavior, like pacing and yelling near units. Mandatory fees like $25/month for useless valet trash and $18/month for a broken Fetch delivery service are a slap in the face. Recent water shutoffs (May 1 and 21, 2025), repeated pool closures (May 6 and June 4, 2025), and garage construction that dirties cars and blocks access have made this place intolerable. Management does nothing—don’t waste your money here. 1/5 stars.
Property Manager at Cortland River Oaks, Responded To This Review
Thank you for sharing your experience—while it’s tough to hear, your feedback is incredibly important. We’re genuinely sorry to learn about the challenges you’ve faced, and we understand how frustrating and disruptive this must have been, especially with your work-from-home setup. We’d like the opportunity to look into these concerns more closely and work toward a resolution wherever possible. Please reach out to the leasing office directly or email us at riveroaks@cortland.com, so we can discuss the situation further and see how we can make things right. Your comfort and satisfaction matter to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know where we need to do better.

Not what it used to be. New management is not friendly and responsive. They don’t care about the safety of residents by leaving gates and doors open 24/7. One is the main entry doors has been broken for months and they decided to leave it unlocked putting everybody at risk. Hallways are always dirty.

Hi there, We regret to hear your experience at our community left this impression. We have been in constant communication with our residents regarding the pedestrian gates as well as any other gates needing repair. While we understand the frustration in hearing that we had to wait for a date for our vendor to come out to make the repairs, the pedestrian gate has been repaired as of yesterday. Our buildings are on schedule for power washing, which should help with the cleanliness concern you mentioned. If you'd like to discuss your experience further or if there's anything we can do to turn it around into a more positive one, please feel welcome to reach out to us at riveroaks@cortland.com. -The Cortland River Oaks team

I really enjoy living at Cortland River Oaks. I love the layout of my apartment and the location. The staff has been very helpful and friendly too.
I have lived in my apartment for 19 years and want to stay another 20. It is easy to feel at home here. It takes me seven minutes to get downtown for theatre and symphony. I love the location.
A lot of wasp nests, especially in the summer that never really get taken care of. Just sprayed and the wasps are back within a week. Management made move-in very stressful and were pretty annoying about move-in documents despite it being their fault I didn't get a move-in checklist or resident portal login until move-in day.
Great maintenace team that is very professional and timely.

Lucky to have found this gem, many years ago and still here to live in the River Oaks/Montrose area with an excellent leadership staff and maintenance staff always responding and continuing to upgrade this complex- as your new home. Located near all restaurants downtown, Montrose, River Oaks and the Heights as well as running/walking paths:Buffalo bayou across the street and Memorial few blocks away. Best part is either airport is only 25 minutes away Bush International or Hobby and 5 minutes from downtown located on highest elevation in Houston---never floods even during the various Hurricanes last 10 years and prior.. Enjoy if you found this GEM.

I’ve been reluctant to write a review of the Villas until I submitted a maintenance request because sometimes that can make or break or a complex for me. I submitted my first request this week and it was easy, efficient, and professional. Exactly like the rest of my experience living at the Villas. I love it here

The location is unbeatable and the community is relatively quiet. The maintenance and leasing staff are phenomenal at responding in a timely manner and keeping everyone in the loop about community and building updates.

Hi, thank you for your kind review; we are happy to pass along your comments to the team here at Villas at River Oaks Apartments! We hope to see you soon!
I’ve been living here 6 years going on 7. I love the new exterior color scheme and sign and all the greenery/trees in the complex. Maintenance is always friendly and fast. Office is responsive and helpful. The location is ideal and close to everything. My balcony overlooks the pool and I love it and we also have a brand new elevator. No place will be perfect (there were some issues with external vendors that were taken care of) but for me this is as close as it can get and I love it here.

The Villas at River Oaks continues to provide a great home for many with excellent safe accommodation in the heart of River Oaks and outskirts of Montrose across the Buffalo Bayou and Memorial Park at one of the highest elevations in Houston ( never have to worry about flooding!). The staff: maintenance and front office do a great job continuing to improve the facilities for long term residents. Also, easy access to either airpot- 25 minutes way and close to amazing restaurants in Houston 5-15 minutes away and 5 minutes from downtown.

Deciding to downsize from our large home to apartment residency was a huge transition. Due to the proximity of shopping centers, restaurants, amenities such as the Buffalo Bayou walking path, and close to Houston Medical Center, we chose to become residents of Villas at River Oaks. Both my husband and I love it here, and have truly been happy with our decision.

This place makes me feel like home. The unit when I moved in was newly painted and everything inside is working in good condition. The surroundings are clean. It is a good choice of location near to any types of stores like groceries, etc. One thing that I also like is the safety and quiteness of the area. The neighborhood is impressive. If you have any concerns, if you call or email them they are very responsive and takes action immediately. Especial thanks to Jenelle in the leasing office. Very accommodating and friendly. She responded to my inquiries immediately. This apartment makes sure they maintain cleanliness on the area, maintenance personnel are doing their job so well. Kudos!!! Perfect just perfect! I am super satisfied and happy. You will not regret choosing this place.

The Villas of River Oaks is an excellent complex with caring leadership staff that is centrally located next to the Buffalo Bayou and Memorial park to exercise and just chill. It is on one of the highest elevations in Houston and do not need to worry about flooding - ever---includes all historical floods (ie. Harvey, etc.). The place has been upgraded and continues to be a home for many professionals. It is centrally located between great restaurants and bars 5 minutes away downtown, Montrose, the HEIGHTS and River Oaks as well as only 25 minutes away from either Hobby and Bush International Airport. Enjoy...if you are lucky to live here....

The property is very nice and has a resort feel to it. Location is great as well. Just be sure to live as far away from the stairs as possible. So noisy! And the package delivery service is absolutely terrible!
