Friendly people and the maintenance team, especially Enrique. Cost effective with free surface parking. I think sanity of each building may vary but our maintenance team is doing its best to contain the current pest issue. But I’m not sure if the recent exterior construction was necessary, since it limits the parking surface.

Hello, I writing to express my sincere appreciation for the very fine work Enrique does as part of your Maintenance team. I had submitted a maintenance request because a metal measuring spoon totally jammed my garbage disposal. Enrique worked on it with a huge set of plyers, trying to budge it even a little bit. Despite trying quite a while and using all his force to make it move, though, it wouldn't. Another maintenance man working with Enrique tried his hardest as well, but the disposal remained totally jammed snd unmoved. Enrique said he needed to leave to finish a project, but he would be back soon to work on it more over his lunch break(!!). Sure enough, very soon after he returned with a long iron-looking rod and was able to get the spoon out of there with the disposal working well again. I’m very grateful to Enrique for his strong work ethic and dedication to the job, and to Cortland Van Dorn for having such a great Maintenance team!

After graduating from my masters, I was looking to move to the Vienna surrounding area for work and found Cortland Van Dorn during my apartment search. Although it has not been long since I moved in, I already love it here! The staff have been especially helpful and exceedingly professional. Since I was moving in from out-of-state, I was a bit wary of trusting what I was seeing online however Ibrahim (aka Ibra) was more than willing to give me an over the phone face-call tour of the apartment I was interested in, which I really appreciated. Since moving in, the rooms are clean and exactly like I saw during the tour. Furthermore, move-in and getting settled in was a breeze and he and the rest of the staff really made me feel at ease during the whole process. They really seem to care about solving whatever issue and/or inquiries you bring to them. I would definitely recommend this community to anyone looking to move to Alexandria!

Ali has been a tremendous help while the complex has had some repairs going on. Always eager to help out and understanding of resident concerns.

I’ve visited here a couple of times from out of town & this place is kept up well. Newer management company has revamped a lot but doesn’t take away from my previous experiences. Pool, gym & dog park makes this spot really nice and it’s perfectly located. Had a bit of car trouble before leaving and Ali was more than welcome to help me before getting back on the road. I can’t wait to return!

Have been here for about a year and a half. In this time management shifted from Elme to Cortland. Throughout my time the office staff, Ali, Ibrahim, Helen and Daniel have always went the extra mile to support any questions or concerns I have had. Additionally, maintenance has always been available when needed or for an emergent issue. The clubhouse amenities are great and it's really nice to see the entire community in the middle of a 'sprucing up' from the new management company. The customer service is top notch and am thankful to have found a place to call home.

I have lived here for 2 yrs and for the most part everything is great. Ibra works in the leasing office has always been very helpful to me and it’s made my experience here even better.

I’ve lived at several apartment communities over the years, and I can honestly say that Ali Al-Zaidi stands out as one of the best employees I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with.
