Nicknamed “Bull City” in the late 1800s for its tobacco industry, Durham today is still home to a thriving city center and workforce. Cortland Bull City offers convenience to local universities and major employers like Duke, North Carolina Central University, and UNC Chapel Hill that makes your everyday commute a breeze. And when you’re considering your weekend (or weeknight) plans, you have plenty of options nearby. Walk over to Brightleaf Square and Central Park for a taste of downtown Durham’s historic districts – and their popular restaurants and bars. Then, catch a baseball game at Durham Bulls Athletic Park or get tickets to a live show at Durham Performing Arts Center.

Our community team lives by Cortland’s company credo: We believe in a better life where hospitality is always a given, each detail is worth a second thought, and every moment is an opportunity to go beyond expectations. With a team passionate about proactive service and above and beyond apartment living, you’ll know how important you are to us – from the moment you first walk through our doors to every day you walk through yours.
