Life at Cortland Pond

Andrea is the most welcoming and helpful property manager I've ever had the pleasure of working with in 20+ years of renting in the Madison area. No one else even comes close!

Resident - Cortland Pond January 21, 2026

I want to express my gratitude and appreciation for all that Andrea does here at Cortland Pond. She truly values the tenant's wellbeing and strives to ensure our community is cohesive and safe. Andrea has demonstrated phenomenal critical thinkings skills regarding any issue that arises, and resolves each issue with grace and dignity to all parties involved. Her communication style and willingness to listen gives me peace-of-mind that this community, my home is in good hands. I am so glad she is here with us!!!

Resident - Cortland Pond January 21, 2026

I would like to nominate Andrea Winkler AASCW Property Manager of the Year. Her smile and laugh can improve any horrible I have only to be surpassed by the care she takes of all the residents here at Cortland Pond. Her regular communications have done wonders to help draw the community together as well as keeping us up with what is currently happening in the complex. She has always been quick to respond with answers and help. I have lived long enough to know what it's like to live somewhere that trying to connect with the manager of the complex was more of a joke than a reality. It’s tremendously comforting to know that the opposite exists at Cortland Pond!

Resident - Cortland Pond January 21, 2026

I want to express my gratitude and appreciation for all that Roberto does here at Cortland Pond. He is always so friendly and smiling. His welcoming personality makes living here a joy. Roberto is a vital part of this community, and he does his work perfectly!!! Seeing his positivity every day and his dedication to my home, gives me peace-of-mind that this community, my home is in good hands. I am so glad he is here with us!!!

Resident - Cortland Pond January 21, 2026

Roberto is one of the nicest, most hard working, and responsible people I have ever met. He addresses all issues in a timely manner with a friendly demeanor and ultimate respect for the property and its residents, and takes pride in his job. As a firefighter I meet a lot of maintenance technicians and I assure you, Roberto is the best of the best.

Resident - Cortland Pond January 21, 2026

Rouse Management has been exceptional throughout our stay at Cortland Pond. The team is professional, responsive, and always ready to help with a friendly attitude. They've made renting here a smooth and enjoyable experience. From maintenance to move-in, everything was handled with great attention to detail. We’re grateful for the wonderful service from Rouse Management and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-managed property!

resident - Cortland Pond October 8, 2024

I lived at this complex for over two years and have never had a bad experience! The property manager, Andrea, is by FAR the best I have ever had. She is extremely responsive, always willing to help, positive/happy, and very easy to work with. She was able to answer any question I had and provide ample support when necessary! Whenever I needed something looked at by maintenance Roberto (maintenance) would get it done within hours! The complex itself is very quiet and peaceful. All of the residents I met were friendly and kind. The large storage units and free underground parking space were a major plus as well! I would live here again - no questions asked!!

Resident - October 7, 2024

Thank you so much for working with me and being flexible with me from day one! It has been the best apartment living experience I've had so far!

Resident - Cortland Pond January 28, 2016

Resident - Cortland Pond January 28, 2016

Everyone is friendly and helpful. I'm very pleased to live here.

Resident - Cortland Pond January 25, 2016

I have stayed here as a regular tenant due to the superb service of all the staff. They are particularly great when I am away and they collect my post and look in at the apartment.

Resident - Cortland Pond January 25, 2016

I want to say I feel really safe here. I like all the lights in the parking garage. The stair ways and ground always look nice & clean. The staff has been very helpful.

Resident - Cortland Pond January 25, 2016

Thank you for helping me find an amazing apartment. You all were so helpful in showing me around and answering my questions.

Resident - Cortland Pond January 25, 2016
