I lived here for over 2 years, and was very satisfied with the location (very close to Howe Park, shopping, business). I found the management staff to be excellent--Mary (manager) went out of her way to give me plenty of info before I moved in, and maintenance was always responsive to my requests. The complex was very well maintained & upkept. Compared to other complexes in the neighborhood, this one had low crime, although, on occassion, there were some dodgy residents (who, fortunately, didn't stay around very long). No complaints--I am glad that I picked Cottage Bell Apartments.
