Cortland Arlington

Lived in the building for more than a year, and had a really good experience. I didn’t have a car so never experienced any of the issues with the parking garage. My apartment felt so cozy, the view was amazing, never had issues with WiFi (but I know some neighbors did), insulation was great (barely turned AC or heating on), new appliances are so cool and can be controlled from your phone. The front desk staff is also super friendly. The only non-positive is some of the amenities like the gym being very small and the grills being accessible only in summer. Overall had a great time in this building.

I love Cortland Arlington. It has been an amazing home for me and my boyfriend. It’s clean, rent is cheap and the people who work here are incredible. So helpful so personable and gracious 12/18/2025 update: amazing staff!!!!! And the buildings renovations are really cool too. It’s not always perfect, but they fix things immediately if anything ever gets broken.

Please see photos. My fiancé and I moved from Cortland Rosslyn to this building based on false promises that several issues would be resolved within the first two months. Six months later, these problems persist: Security: The front doors remain unlocked during business hours with no fob required. The advertised 24/7 concierge is non-existent (and was suspiciously taken off their website) and the entry door butterfly system, which allowed remote guest access, was removed. Garage doors remain broken and unsecured, with all access doors from the garage to the building unlocked (see photos). Elevators don’t require a fob, allowing anyone to enter. Given recent incidents like a nearby metro station shooting, an attack in an adjacent building (which has better security), and thefts in the area

Everything is very convenient starting from having access to secure building doors like gym, club room and lobby on the phone. If I have guests coming or left my key, I can easily access the door on my phone. The package pickup is also smooth, no need to wait someone to bring. You can pick up any time. Never had problem with it and is very convenient. Compared to other buildings, the inside of the apartment is spacious and number of tenants are small which means it has neighborly feel, and more private. The backyard/pool is even better. Large pool, direct sunlight to tan. Spacious, clean grilling area.

I was leaving a bad home situation and needed somewhere to live very quickly. I was shocked at how nice this apartment complex is. I felt like the staff were so friendly, inviting, and helpful upon move in.
