This apartment complex never looked better. Cortland is doing an amazing job in renewing everything! Apartments, pools, gym, landscaping and outside paint and roofs. I love Candis and Jeniffer who manage the property. Great customer service from both of them and always a smile on their lips. Maintenance is right up there as well. Not to forget to mention how quiet it is. And perfect location, 1 mile from the free ways and all stores one needs to get our needs met! LOVE LIVING HERE! I give it 5 STARS. Come and check it out!!! Join our community!

One of the best communities
Have lived in this apartment for about 2 years. This certainly has been one of the best community living experiences so far. Apartments are well maintained, closer to freeways and great shopping center is all plus point. But the most important reason why this gets 5 stars from my side is the leasing and maintenance team. Special call out to Candice, Jennifer, and Wonda... They are the best... Whenever we had any problems, we approached Candice and came back with a real solution. Never got disappointed. I wouldn't hesitate to rate this over 5. Would certainly recommend leasing here.

Cortland Desert Ridge has been a positive experience. After selling my home of many years, I wasn't sure what to expect in an apartment community. The front office staff is friendly and professional and maintenance needs are attended to swiftly and efficiently. The community is quiet and respectful.

Cortland Desert Ridge has nice staff and is located in a great area, but they have been purchased by a new company and no longer understand how to care about current residents. If you live here, expect early gardening that goes on for the entire day, floodlights at every corner - some pointing right into your front windows, the brightest porch lights you have ever seen (I have to take mine out so my children can sleep) poor parking during construction, trucks parking in front of garages, a lack of Covid safety to encourage playground/amenity use, a gym that may never re-open, and in general - it's going to be a wonderful place 2 years from now. We used to have gates open during the days - during Covid this was great - new management came and changed that to make sure everyone has to touch the same box. There are zero safety protocols added here - I would call much of what is done fancy but thoughtless; it's pretty corporate like that.

Overall living experience is just ok. Its like any other apartment community but with higher rent. Honestly there is nothing special here that justifies the rent. Some issues always persists, like entrance gate which never works properly, small and over crowded play area.

Was fantastic until about November 2019. Right about the time that I was to renew my rental agreement. Had questions, many answers were that we don't normally do it that way, that is the form of the new management. Went in multiple times for clarity...never satisfied with answers, however, I had a good rapport with the management team. Sadly the responsiveness of management staff has dwindled, more management left and I am wondering why I renewed my contract. If I had known the impact of the new management - I would not have renewed my rental agreement

Never before have we had such a fantastic group of professionals managing, operating, and maintaining this community. Its a great location. Its safe, has well maintained and manicured grounds, and is filled with quiet and friendly neighbors. Its staff (Candice, Bakir, Jessica) are truly second to none, and have been integral in making Cortland at Desert Ridge not only a community, but a home.

Great place to live, close to most anything that you could possibly want to do. No wild parties to deal with, it is nice and peaceful...Maintenance is very good.

RENTER BEWARE
Property is showing its age and has become VERY expensive. On top of the base rent, there are so many added fees to your monthly bill, including paying for a covered parking spot. The typical rent increase has been 3%, now with the new name of "Desert Ridge" (IT IS NOT DESERT RIDGE AREA), the rates are JUMPING 20-25%. It's ridiculous the amount of rent they're charging for sub par living conditions. Pool isn't heated, Pool grills are broken, lights out all over the property, just to name a few... Renter beware. The devil will entice you with promises of paradise. Once you sign on the dotted line, you'll see the true facade.

I love living at Cortland at Pinnacle for many reasons. Its very quiet, close to two major FWYs close to all major stores from Whole Foods to Target to Home Depot etc. cant name em all. Right Dessert Ridge is right there which has many many great restaurants, stores and Hawkins movie theater. At last but not least hiking trails and water (canal) which enhances good energy.

We have enjoyed our time living here. It's usually very quiet and haven't noticed any unruly party's. We enjoy being close to the stores, restaurants and events at the Desert Ridge Market Place Mall, the theaters and the Music Museum. Also close to doctors and dentists and health facilities which is very nice.

I have no words to describe how disappointed I am with some of the service that I have been given. It also seems that the newest members of the "Cortland" team have a poor attitude towards it's residents.

Cortland Desert Ridge is extremely central to all FWYs and most stores one needs to go. It is very quiet and clean. The two pools give it a luxurious appearance with TV and barbecues at both pool areas. Its green landscaping is wonderful for evening walks I feel safe and protected there. And one plus is the 2 mile walk along the canal right behind the property.
