Cortland Lake Lotus Apartments

We truly enjoy living here over the years. I know it sounds impossible but we truly have no complaints. The property is very well maintained, our neighbors our respectful & nice. Everything in our apartment is in good working condition. The office & maintenance team are easy to work with. Very nice people.

I was a resident at Cortland Lake Lotus from June 2022 – February 2025. I lived in a 1 bed/1 bath (Cranes Roost floor plan – apartment 632-103). My unit was located directly across from a host of amenities such as the pool, gym, business center, and office.
In order to give the best review, I am going to dig into several different areas in a pros and cons format.
First, I will start with the pros.
- Maintenance Staff:The entire staff is great, but Reynaldo and Alejandro are some of the kindest... people I have ever met.
- Amenities
- Location
- Property Look
- Sense of Community
- Food Trucks
Now, let’s dig into the cons.
- EXPENSIVE: I paid a base rent of $1680 per month but with utilities it ended up being just under $1900. Though on the positive side, my rent only went up $50 in the near 3 years.
- Gates and Amenity Doors: ALWAYS BROKEN! Do not be fooled, this is truly not a gated community. In the year 3 years I lived there, the gates were never fully working for more than a few weeks at a time. In September of 2024, lightning struck on property, interfering with the gate and amenity doors. The gym and pool doors were only fixed 2 weeks before I left in FEBRUARY 2025. The front and back gates were NOT FIXED. They somehow had it closed for a couple of days in November, but let everyone know it would be open for Thanksgiving and then closed again. It never closed. A big reason why I chose to live here was that it was gated. Do not be fooled.
- Loud
- Safety: Not gated as mentioned before. In April 2024, I had my ducts cleaned while out of town. This was done by an outside vendor. I came back days later at midnight and my apartment was unlocked. The staff gave me a ring camera but didn’t look into it. Lucky nothing was stolen.
- Security Guard: Hired over a year ago to monitor property and keep non-residents out of the property, but they never do their job. Called in multiple noise complaints after hours and all they do is drive by.
- Office Staff
- Unattended Children
Overall, I enjoyed my time at Cortland Lake Lotus, but it was not perfect. While this review is long, I want everyone to have an accurate review of the property like I wish I had when I moved in. It’s a beautiful place to live and I am grateful I could but beware of everything I mentioned. Read More

This is a good price and has more amenities to similarly priced apartments nearby. The grounds are well-maintained. The staff are friendly and respond promptly. It is quiet and I feel safe living here.

Overall, I am happy with my living experience here. The community culture is amazing, and the staff is helpful and understanding.

Cortland has been a very cozy place to live. We love the layout of our apartment, and have enjoyed our time here thus far!
