Beautiful environment, professional and helpful management and staff. Interior upgrades are quality. Lakeside view of Lake Howell is incredible, with a small accessible beach area next to one of the community pools. Enjoying the quiet contemplation of natural landscaping.

Cortland Lake Howell Review – 5 Stars (with a small caveat) I've been living at Cortland Lake Howell for just over two weeks, and overall, it's been a great experience so far. This is by far the quietest and cleanest apartment complex I’ve ever lived in. The community is surrounded by beautiful trees, and there's a lovely nature walk by the lake — a really peaceful touch that adds to the charm. One of my favorite things has been the food trucks that come by almost every weeknight. It’s such a fun and convenient perk, especially compared to my last apartment complex which didn’t offer anything like that. That said, my move-in experience wasn’t perfect. The apartment wasn’t quite ready — the front door didn’t lock properly, and a few appliances needed to be replaced.

The staff generally responds quickly, and I do appreciate their communication. However, I’ve had several maintenance issues that have been frustrating—especially so soon after moving in.

My washer was finally replaced at the end of the day Friday, but my dryer is still not working. I’ve had to pay out of pocket to wash clothes and blankets at a nearby laundromat, and I haven’t received any update on whether I’ll be reimbursed for that inconvenience. Additionally, my front door has a lock that doesn't fully secure it—the hole for the lock is too large, so even when locked, the door opens slightly, which raises safety concerns. Overall, while I really enjoy the location and
