Apartments near Heathrow, FL

“We have had a great experience here. The maintenance team stands out, particularly Raphael, who does outstanding work. He responds promptly and takes the time to solve the underlying issue rather than just addressing the symptom, so the same problem does not come back. That same attitude runs through the front office and all the staff, who are consistently helpful, prompt, and genuinely focused on getting things right. The recently revamped soccer court has been a wonderful addition and is especially good for the younger kids. I would happily recommend this community.”

“Living at Cortland Uptown Altamonte has honestly been a very good experience for me. From the moment I moved in, I felt comfortable and welcomed. The community is always clean and well taken care of, which makes it feel peaceful and relaxing to come home to every day.

I really love the location because everything I need is close by — shopping, restaurants, and places to walk. It makes daily life much easier and more enjoyable. The environment here feels safe and quiet, which is very important to me.

The office staff has always been kind, professional, and willing to help whenever I had a question. Maintenance has also been quick and reliable, which shows they truly care about the residents. Iris Martinez from maintenance is amazing.

Overall, I feel happy living here and I would recommend Cortland Uptown Altamonte to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-managed place to live.”

“Quiet community, attentive management, quick and efficient maintenance, modern amenities, fun resident events both virtual and in person. Loving it so far!

Edit: I am unfortunately moving out and wanted to update my review. I've come to learn that it's not the management company that makes an apartment but definitely the onsite team. From the IMT to ZRS switch over, the team remained the same and the level of customer service remained high. If you're looking for a luxe spot, with amazing amenities, super fun resident events, and a management team that truly cares about their community and the residents who live there, this is the spot! Not to mention the proximity to literally everything. If I could pack up the whole community and move it with me I would. Thank you guys for an amazing 4 years!”

“Early this summer I had a tour with Anthony. He took great care of me. He was welcoming , warm and super professional. He took his time to understand my needs and provided matching solutions. He made me feel like family. He assisted me throughout the process and every step of the way. He went above and beyond and for that I’ll be forever grateful . I was not ready to move in to a place just yet but promise to be back and reapply because of how I was treated. The community is also beautiful, I may add. Please book your tour with Anthony, you will not be disappointed with your experience! Alexander community seems to be caring towards their tenant and doesn’t think they are just numbers.”

“We lived at DWELL for a year and absolutely loved it. The whole experience — from move-in to move-out — was smooth and stress-free. The property is always clean and well-maintained, and we never had any major issues. The management team is incredibly friendly and responsive — any small requests we had were resolved the same day.

The apartments are spacious and modern, the pool is clean, the gym is well-equipped, and the garage parking is super convenient. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant. We also had a few friends living here and they share the same positive opinion.

We only moved out because of personal circumstances, but we truly miss living at DWELL. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great, hassle-free living experience!”

“I honestly have a hard time believing the negative reviews that are on here. Also it feels weird to give an apartment complex a bad rating if you’ve never lived there? I’ve had nothing short of an amazing experience since day one. From first contact with the leasing office, setting up a tour, scheduling a separate second tour for my wife, going through the application process, getting their help with processing our ESAs, moving in, and now living here, it’s all been so smooth. HUGE kudos to Sid, who has been our champion from day one and made sure everything has gone off without a hitch. Maybe the people who left bad reviews could learn to catch more flies with honey. Coming from our last apartment with AC issues and an awful landlord who never took our concerns seriously, The Parker at Maitland Station is a godsend. I could go on about the community events which are so cute and fun, the amenities, the great location, or a ton of other great things, but I want to say one thing in particular. We had an issue with our AC about two months in (it was a super easy fix but I’m no HVAC technician), and we put in an after hours (around 9:00pm) emergency maintenance request because my wife is pregnant in her third trimester and she was worried about having no AC in the apartment. Maintenance came over in under 20 minutes, completely fixed it, explained it all to us, taught us what to do if it happened again, used a temperature gun to make sure it was blowing cold air, and had up and running and good to go all in about 15 minutes—ON LABOR DAY. I don’t care what the other reviews say, we were floored. Amazing service here, super friendly residents and staff. We can’t wait to have our baby shower here in the club room. I could go on but please take my word for it, it’s great here. Don’t let the grumps with the one star reviews fool you!”

“I have thoroughly enjoyed living here so far, amenities are great! Staff is so nice and attentive and the maintenance men are great. Rob in particular has been really helpful and kind. I also see him when I walk my dogs paying special attention to the amenities such as a the dog playground. 10/10 community”

“Very professional, concise & efficient leasing office personnel. Bathroom window screen replacement & living room blinds were handled by 1 call & within a few hours. Excellent response.

“Very quiet community. Maintenance are great too. Sean and Daniel fixed our lights in the bathroom and They did an amazing job, they were very attentive and kind! It usually doesn’t take too long for maintenance to complete requests.”

“The staff are absolutely phenomenal, and the pricing is quite fair for the size of the apartments. The only critique I’d give is that clothes have been given a burnt smell from all the dryers for the past year without any replacement machines. There are talks about getting this updated within the next few months, but I remain sceptical given how long the issue has been ongoing. I’d recommend spending the extra money on a fourth-party laundromat service for the foreseeable future. The apartment itself has no issues, but the laundry service is less than adequate.

Update July 8th 2025:

CSC will be updating the machines on the 9th of July 2025. I have moved my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars in anticipation of this great upgrade!”

“March of this year 2023 my mother house burned down and she needed to be relocated to Florida to be closer to me. I have been very pleased to have her move into saxon trace apartments. The staff is nice and they keep the community clean. My mother had an issue with her water facuet in her bathroom dripping and she wasn't receiving no heat the maintenance personnel were so help and informative. We put in the tickets and they did an awesome job. P.s my mother is a massive stroke survivor and she lived in New York at the time. Just moved to saxon trace july2023 and its beautiful. Thanks”

“I recently moved into my new apartment, and I just have to give a big shout-out to Allison, the assistant property manager. She truly went above and beyond to make my experience seamless. From the moment I applied to the moment I moved in—literally within 24 hours—Allison was so kind, super responsive, and made the whole process a breeze. She made sure everything I needed was taken care of, and that kind of attentiveness is just so rare. The property itself is also really well-maintained, and any fixes or requests are handled promptly and professionally. I’m genuinely so happy I chose this place!”

“The maintenance team is efficient and responds quickly. Any issues are handled promptly, and the team is friendly and professional. The office team is also great and very helpful.”

“Edwin was great helping me set up my apartment. I needed to move quickly from South Carolina and he made everything smooth and easy. The rest of the staff I briefly spoke with on the phone were also very helpful!”

“I love this condo!! All the staff are so so friendly and helpful! The maintenance team are incredible, Jess at the office are the best!! I live here for almost 4 years now and just love this place!!”

“Great place to live! Residents friendly and kind. Staff also friendly and responsive to needs. Maintenance quick to respond to needs.
There are events to meet everyone's lifestyle choices.”

“Love the layout of the neighborhood, the speed bumps coming in are horrendous, but it’s a beautiful place. The office is nice when they finally get back to you.

I’m currently on the waitlist with no place to stay at the moment so hopefully they get back to me soon, but overall better vibes than most places in the area”

“I’ve had such a positive experience living here. The staff is friendly, responsive, and truly cares about the residents. Maintenance requests are handled quickly and professionally, and the grounds are always clean and well-kept. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a welcoming and well-managed place to live!”

“I actually like staying out here but it is time for me to move on.. I don't have no problem with my landlord nor neighbors because I'm a woman that keeps to myself.. keep up the great work ms. Tonya even when you gone because you have gave us opportunities that we didn't even think we had.. thanks for all your hard work.. just keep praying because I am.. love you honey aka shelle”

“I would like to take the moment once again to appreciate my property manager, Angela. Not sure if my first review was seen. But these past few months, there was a lot happening at the apartment complex. And Angela made it smooth sailing ever since. With all the unforeseen circumstances. She has held the fort down till now. And I have worked with many Property Managers but Angela is one of the best ones yet. And her professionalism is unmatched. She has really helped in understanding how to maneuver every difficult situation with so much grace and love!! She is a great blessing along with the entire staff!!”

“This complex is THE best in Altamonte Springs!
It is conveniently located a quarter mile from I-4.
Lakeshore sits off of 436. It sits back on a lake. In fact our pool is right on the lake. They also have apartments that face the lake. They have a great workout room, where ALL the equipment works. We have a laundry room, a dog walking area, they are dog friendly here.
The upkeep of Lakeshore is on point. The landscape is well taken care of. They are constantly changing the flowers where our sign is to keep it looking fresh and inviting.
There is a publix, a bank a UPS store and a hair salon.We are close to the Advent hospital
There are several places to eat around Lakeshore with all different price points.The Altamonte mall is within walking distance as well.
Our property manager is Meggan who is so nice and easy to talk to. She has a great maintenance team. Luis and Jerry. They are friendly yet professional. Never talks down to u even if it's just to show u how to put a bulb in a ceiling fan.
I call them the dynamic duo and they are an asset to team Meggan. My sister and I have lived in this complex for 20 years and have had the pleasure of living in 3 different apartments due to various reasons. However we have absolutely the best apartment in the complex, we think so anyway. We have been thru our share of property managers and Meggan is the best property manager we have had. Quick to wave and say hello.
If ur looking for a great place to live
Lakeshore is it.
Did I mention how great a job Team Meggan does!
Ms. Beste and Beel”

“I’d like to thank Chris in Maintenance for his exceptional service. He’s professional, kind and took the patience to answer all of my questions. I’m really glad he’s at our apartment complex!”

“Been living here for about two years. The staff is always courteous and the maintenance is always prompt.

Always enjoy visiting the office to go to our club house. Lucy is always a welcome sight to see. They all are.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Maria! Moving to a new state is a huge transition, and Maria made our move into the complex seamless. She is incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable. She answered every single one of our questions without hesitation and truly went above and beyond to make sure we were happy—even after we officially moved in.
I also want to give a shout-out to Ricardo, who stepped in when Maria wasn’t in the office to ensure I was all set. It’s clear this team cares about their residents. Maria is a huge asset to this community, and its people like her who make a complex truly succeed. If you're looking for a place where you'll be well taken care of, ask for Maria! I highly recommend!”

“I had a Great tour at this property, Deandre was very welcoming and hospitable, so much so Deandre sold this property very well to the point we put an application in immediately after leaving, looking forward to living at this property!!”

“Affordable apartments paired with a welcoming community is a winning combination in my book. Chad was efficient when I toured and got me all the information I requested.”
