I’ve been here almost 2 weeks. The staff is extremely nice and friendly. From the leasing coordinator who handles the application process (who isn’t local) to the people who are in the office. Even maintenance, super nice. There were a few issues when we initially moved in that they rectified and are currently handling. Maintenance is VERY fast. Rent is a bit high but the area is nice and close to everything we need. Nice to be close to Orlando without actually being there every day. Another thing I love is that the gate actually works lol Broken gates are becoming the norm in apartment complexes. So far, so good! Hoping it stays that way . Edit: 8 months later, the maintenance in these apartments is amazing. They come same day if they’re able and get things done quickly. SUPERB

The application process is super easy and quick as well. My roommate and I applied on Saturday evening and we got approved on Monday. We are looking forward to moving in on December. Not every apartment is perfect. There will be some issues along the way because that’s just life. All we care about is that the front office staff and maintenance staff does the very best to their abilities to correct any issues that may arise. Being proactive matters. We are very excited to be living with Cortland Lake Howell. Thank you all for an easy experience in joining!

I have recently read the latest review by my neighbor, David. I’ve been living here for about 12 years, and I’ve never encountered a better team of managers. While some may complain and moan, the leasing office is bound by their policies. If you witnessed any illegal activity, it would be logical to contact the police. Remember, we all need to take care of our community. It seems like you’re more interested in pointing fingers than addressing the issue. So, goodbye and good riddance.

Overall, my experience at The Howell has been great. I especially want to shout out the maintenance staff, Alex, Jose, and everyone else. Not only have they taken care of every request I’ve submitted, but they have also been very professional and kind. The leasing staff is also very understanding and great. Can it be better? Of course, nothing is perfect. But I will say that we have a great team on the ground here who is willing to go above and beyond for its residence. That matters a lot!

Wanted to wait to experience and give an honest review of Cortland Lake Howell. First I wanted to point out that if what you're looking for is a modern apartment brand new construction, cookie cutter apartments, this is probably not the best location for you. Cortland has newer more modern apartments at Altamonte Springs and the downtown area that are probably more suitable for you.If that's your taste. However, if you like a peaceful environment, a place with character located in the middle of a reserve, surrounded by trees and nature, you are gonna like courtland lake howell . The place is right on lake howell it's facing east making sunrises very beautiful to catch along theboat ramp that is accessible to all residents. The community is very pet, friendly and my favorite thing to do as to walk my dog along the community, looking at the lake, from the walkway that goes from the boat ramp to one of the pools. As a business owner, one of the things that has impressed me the most is the management. Jarolyn at

Hi, Frank from building 8 at Lake Howell. I wanted to give Alex a shout out for his help on a maintenance request for a leaking fridge. He responded quickly and understood the problem and helped resolved the issue, which ultimately resulted in replacing the unit. I appreciate his help and friendly manner doing so.

Edit!! I would also love to add that the maintenance team is OUTSTANDING. Any maintenance request I’ve put in has been completed within 48 hours and it’s been fixed correctly the first time. My family and I aren’t used to this, as our last complex never took the time to fix anything correctly or in a decent amount of time. Moving here has been an absolute breath of fresh air, and we are so incredibly excited to call this place our new home! The entire application process was incredibly smooth, fast, and stress-free. A massive thank you to the leasing staff—they are wonderfully friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us. The apartment itself was immaculately clean upon move-in, and it's clear the entire property is exceptionally well-maintained, from the pristine grounds to the top-notch amenities. The community is stunning; the lush, beautiful trees give it a peaceful, natural vibe, and the pools are absolutely gorgeous. If you’re looking for a safe, beautif
