Cortona at Forest Park 5800 Highlands Plaza Drive, St. Louis, MO 63110

"I had a client in this building that needed my services. I was buzzed in by my client using their name , they buzzed the door open . I had some trouble finding the elevator and decided to ask security for some direction. I understand securities job is to make sure residents are safe. I was told by this person that I needed the resident to physically come down to get me or call the front desk .After relaying this to the client they told me where the elevator was. Then I was physically stopped at the elevator alter my client gave directions to unit. Security threatened to call the police. Finally the client had to come down ( what’s the point of the call box?!) After client made contact security begins to berate not only the resident about the “policy” to not just let anyone in the building but also insinuate that maybe I was there to harm or worse the residents . I will not post exactly what they said because it was absolutely disgusting racism. I highly recommend anyone that is decent to stay away from this establishment"

"Loved living here for 3 years! The apartment complex is very well maintained and the people who work here are very friendly and helpful. I always knew that if I had an issue with my apartment, I could find the help I needed. They are always improving the property. If I ever were to come back to STL and rent, I would definitely consider this property again!"

"Cortona not only has spacious and updated apartments, but also great amenities and the friendliest staff you’ll ever meet. The maintenance team was very responsive and took care of anything I needed. Same with the leasing office staff. I loved the occasional resident events that made Cortona feel even more like a community. I’m definitely going to miss the amazing pool and having a fully-equipped gym under the same roof. I highly recommend Cortona apartments to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, quiet, and friendly place to live!"

"What a bittersweet moment that I’m leaving Cortona at Forest Park. I moved to STL in 2019 from California and struggled to find a place I can call home & the pandemic did not help. Thankfully I came across Cortona, it was like love at first site. Im not just talking just the apartment but the staff was just phenomenal all around. Each and everyone worker was super helpful, understanding, and went above and beyond every time. Maintainer is like magic, they are so damn fast! The apartment is insanely great. The pool is to die for and great for hosting friends & bbq. The neighbors were super kind, generous, and fun. Cortona has events every couple month to get the community together, like, cocktail hour, game night, holiday parties & even events for your doggo. I have a 110 pound shepherd & they welcomed him like their own. The place has a grooming area for the doggo that allows you the wash your dog and blow dry them, not to include the huge dog park. If I did not purchase a home I would have lived here until I did, I absolutely love this place and will miss it dearly. Thank you Cortona for this amazing experience!"

"Living at Cortona is perfection! It's near the highway to get you downtown or anywhere you need to go in STL. The apartments are spacious with updated appliances. If needed, maintenance requests are always done in a timely manner (but most I ever really needed was a new light bulb). The pool/hot tub becomes such a fun area in the summertime or you can relax in the cabanas and have a BBQ. One of the best parts, which is hard to find anywhere else, is the staff. They put a lot of work into planning fun happy hours and truly do care about all of their residents. l have lived here for 3 years but will be moving out of state for work. Every other place I look at in the future I will compare to Cortona because it really is top notch."
