The Art Deco State Capitol building, North Dakota's tallest structure at 241.75 feet, serves as the city's defining landmark.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.

Property Ratings at Cottonwood Apartment Homes
Been here for almost 5 years and every winter the hot water goes out and they refuse to fix it properly. I hope you like cold showers. Also washer machine barely works after they looked at it 3 times. I have 2 outstanding work orders for hot water and they won't respond. Stay away from this place they also raise the rent $150+ every year.
Property Manager at Cottonwood Apartment Homes, Responded To This Review
We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and we appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. We understand how important these amenities are to your living experience. We invite you to visit our office so we can discuss these matters further and work towards a resolution. Sincerely, The Cottonwood Team
I live on the first floor of my apartments that are shaped like a horseshoe. Every day the hallways are cleaned and yearly inspections happen to make sure code is met. My tenants are great and make sure the whole property is in great shape. My apartment is beautiful and my patio is very large. I cannot hear my neighbors and I'm sure they can't hear me.I feel like I'm in a home. I love my apartment.
