Awesome place to rent we moved here last konth and Echo has been awesome to make us comfortable with the move and Mark is very professional on his work

I never had any issues with Cottonwood when I lived there in 2018. I remember the manager Echo was always nice. Our cars were never vandalised or broken into. The apartment across the street did have cops a lot, but nothing ever really happened at Cottonwood. It was pretty affordable for a 1 bed 1 bath. Overall, I'd recommend it!
