Apartment Description
Located minutes away from popular shopping, dining, and entertainment spots, our Montrose apartment community offers a world of opportunity in Houston, TX. Features like nine-foot ceilings, walk-in closets, and wood-style flooring will make you proud... to call any of our one and two-bedroom apartments in River Oaks, Houston home.
Convenience to Allen Parkway, Downtown Houston, and major employers at the Texas Medical Center and in the Downtown Houston Business District makes your everyday commute a breeze. And when you're considering your weekend (or weeknight) plans, you have plenty of entertainment options nearby.
Spend a sunny afternoon outside at Buffalo Bayou Park, head over to the River Oaks District for a luxury shopping experience, try out a new restaurant in Montrose, or cheer on the Astros with friends at Daikin Park.
I lived at Cortland River Oaks and unfortunately had a very frustrating experience due to constant noise and ongoing construction. For a large portion of my time living there, there was frequent loud construction noise that made it very difficult to relax or work from home. The noise would often start early in the morning and continue throughout the day. It felt like there was always drilling, hammering, or heavy equipment running nearby. What made it more frustrating was that there was little... communication about how long the construction would last or when the loud work would be happening. As a resident paying premium River Oaks rent, I expected a quieter living environment and better transparency from management. The apartment itself and location are nice, but the constant disruption from construction significantly impacted the quality of life. If you are someone who works from home or values a peaceful environment, this is definitely something to consider before signing a lease here.

Cortland River Oaks has been home for 15 years and I love it! Location is 1A, close to the Buffalo Bayou, to downtown, to many good restaurants and shops. We have nice gardens and a great pool, plus several services that make our lives easier. The Cortland team is very efficient and friendly!

My husband and I toured 7 complexes along the buffalo bayou. The access from these apartments is by far the best. Plus the complex itself is lush and green and excellently maintained. It’s perfect for our dog. And our leasing agent, Stephanie, was great. She wasn’t pushy like some agents at other communities. The entire staff is wonderful. We couldn’t be happier.
