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.

I just moved into the community, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! From day one, the entire staff has been welcoming, friendly, and genuinely committed to making me feel at home. A huge thank you to Helen for making the move-in experience exceptional. She is incredibly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and truly cares about the residents. She took the time to answer every question, explained everything thoroughly, and made sure every detail was taken care of. Her kindness, professionalism, and generosity with her time made the entire process seamless and stress-free. She is a tremendous asset to this community. Ali has also been fantastic! He is always willing to lend a hand, no matter how big or small the request. His professionalism, positive attitude, and eagerness to help have made a lasting impression. It’s clear that he genuinely enjoys taking care of the residents. He is a great addition to the staff. Exceptional customer service like this is hard to find. The team compliments each othe

There arrived mixed reviews on this place but I can tell you that my experience has been excellent thus far. From the application process thru move in. Helen and her team have been great to work with. I am enjoying my space. Neighbors are all nice so far. My dog is in heaven with all of his new friends. I'd recommend living here because it is so convenient to everything you can imagine.

I have been living at Cortland Alexandria for a little over a year now, and I can honestly say the changes since the transition from Elme Alexandria have been incredible. The community continues to improve day after day, and it’s clear that the team truly cares about both the property and its residents. The leasing team: Ibra, Helen, and Ali are always professional, friendly, and willing to help. They go above and beyond to make residents feel welcomed and valued. Daniel, the Community Manager, has done an outstanding job leading the property and implementing positive changes that have made a noticeable difference throughout the community. I also want to recognize Bradley from the maintenance team. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and consistently provides excellent service. It’s reassuring to know that maintenance concerns are handled by someone who genuinely cares about the residents and the quality of his work. From community improvements to customer service, Cortland Alexandria has come a long way, and
