Wonderful Location Near The Texas Medical Center

I've lived at Southmore (Cortland Museum District) for roughly a year, and during that time, the management changed to Cortland. I've been impressed with how quickly they fix small issues around my unit. Kenny, in particular, is a spectacular member of the team who is always friendly, professional, and thorough in his work. My dog even loves him!

Furthermore, when Cortland took over, the previous management left some issues not initially brought to light (especially building plumbing). The unit...
manager, Stephanie, ensured this was looked into regardless of holidays, bad weather (we had an actual snow day in Houston this year), and around-the-clock. She followed up and saw the issue through till it was resolved.

Maintenance issues are a natural part of living in any apartment or home, but Cortland's timely and professional response to these issues really showcases its character. I'm looking forward to renewing my lease!

Dont Move Here!!!!!!!

Worst Property Management Group. The management team at The Southmore is incompetent, they are never available during real business hours and they started charging the residents random monthly fees once they took over the apartment complex from Greystar! When asked about the random charges, the only explanation I received was because Greystar never charged us for the fees. If thats the case, why are we being charged now? Who was paying the fees prior to Cortland taking over? My lease says... something totally different and im definitely going to be moving. Lets not talk about how the concierge has allowed random people up to my apt without notifying me, and even providing a key to my unit to a cleaning lady that they did not verify was my actual cleaning lady!

Property Manager at Cortland Museum District responded to this review

Hello,

Thank you again for sharing your concerns with us. We genuinely apologize for the frustration this situation has caused, and we want to address your concerns as clearly as possible.

Regarding the recent charges, please rest assured that we...
have not added any fees that are not included in your lease. While there may have been a transition period during the takeover, we do not add or change fees arbitrarily. In fact, I emailed you your past and current ledger, your lease, and the signed addendum for your review yesterday. If you have any further questions about these documents or the charges, I would be more than happy to go over them with you. As I tried to explain yesterday, water and sewer charges are billed in arrears. The transition period between management is when you received your first water/sewer bills, which may have caused some confusion. Additionally, you have been charged for the boiler and amenity fees from the start of your lease, as outlined in your signed agreement. I understand how transitions like this can cause some questions.

I want to clarify that our management team is available onsite Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. We always make time to speak with our residents and only ask for your patience if we are already assisting another resident, if it's after hours, or during the weekend. We strive to be as accessible as possible and would never intentionally avoid a resident.

Regarding the concierge issues, I was unaware of any new incidents since you previously notified us, and we addressed them with their supervisor. I followed up with their team & supervisor yesterday to make sure all procedures are being strictly adhered to and that your security and privacy are maintained at all times.

We sincerely hope to resolve any lingering concerns you may have. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We value your experience here and would be happy to assist in any way we can.

Sincerely,
Stephanie A., Community Manager

We were stuck in a sweltering apartment on a Saturday because the AC was broken. The maintenance team worked on it for three hours but couldn’t fix it. They returned on Monday, spent another six hours trying, and disrupted our work in the process. We couldn’t enjoy our space as they kept going in and out of our room without shoe covers, making our dogs go wild. Despite this being the fourth time it’s happened since we moved in, no manager has reached out to us directly.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We truly apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced with the A/C. Unfortunately, like all systems, air conditioning units can sometimes fail unexpectedly, and while we always aim to address repair issues... as quickly as possible, the delay in receiving the necessary part was an unfortunate circumstance we couldn’t control. We completely understand how uncomfortable this situation must have been for you.

We also apologize for the disruption caused by our service team’s visits. While we recognize that these visits were necessary to repair the A/C, we understand they may have been frustrating, especially with the in-and-out traffic. While shoe covers were worn during most of the visits, we do regret if they were not worn during all of them. We will remind our team of the importance of maintaining respect for your space, and ensure shoe covers are consistently used in the future.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this process. We will be reaching out directly to address any further concerns you may have.

Kind regards,
Stephanie A., Community Manager
