Cortland Alameda Station is fine if you can find a unit at a competitive rate. Don't expect the rate to stay competitive when it's time to renew.
The units are nothing special, but they're cheaper than nearby buildings (for new tenants) as a result.
The location is excellent. There are multiple grocery stores in walking distance and a train station basically on top of the property.
Staff are friendly, but management is incompetent. Building access was changed with two weeks notice from a... fob system to a phone app that requires location permissions. The special parking rate that was offered in 2023 and honored when I renewed in 2024 was rescinded with no notice in 2025 for all residents, which doubled my monthly parking cost. I would be less upset about this if there was ANY prior communication.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Cortland Alameda Station. We’re glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the convenience of our location and the friendliness of our team, but we’re truly sorry that aspects of your living experience have... caused frustration.
We understand how important clear communication is, especially when it comes to changes that affect daily life such as building access and parking.
Your feedback about the transition to the app-based entry system and the parking rate adjustment is very valuable, and we regret that these updates were not communicated in a way that met your expectations. We’ll be reviewing our processes to ensure residents receive timely and transparent information moving forward.
In regard to renewal pricing, Cortland strives to stay in line with the market average at the time while staying as competitive as we can. We are more that happy to see if a renewal negotiation would assist. Please reach out to us at alamedastation@cortland.com so we can better assist your renewal pricing concerns along with any other concerns.
