Pricing and true monthly cost
| Floor plan | Sq ft | Bed/bath | Sample base rent | Optional monthly add-ons | All-in example | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Airfield | 610 | 1/1 | $1,183 to $1,218 | Carport $40, pet rent $25 | $1,223 to $1,283 | Cortland |
| The Bear Creek | 645 | 1/1 | $1,198 | Carport $40, pet rent $25 | $1,238 to $1,263 | Cortland |
| The Bob Eden | 685 | 1/1 | $1,293 | Carport $40, pet rent $25 | $1,318 to $1,358 | Cortland |
| The Main | 750 | 1/1 | $1,288 to $1,323 | Carport $40, pet rent $25 | $1,313 to $1,388 | Cortland |
| The Mid-Cities | 1,100 | 2/2 | $1,784 | Carport $40, pet rent $50 (two pets) | $1,824 to $1,874 | Cortland |
The spread between listing sites owes almost entirely to timing and whether monthly fees are already folded in: Apartments.com and Apartment List quote an all-fees-included floor near $1,182, HAR.com quotes $1,238 to $1,738 for its two sampled unit types, and Cortland’s own availability page shows the individual apartments behind both.
The pet fee at $400 up front plus $25 a month per animal is roughly five times the size of the pet fee at Oakmont of Bear Creek next door, so for a renter with a dog or cat, the total cost gap between the two communities is smaller than the base rent alone suggests.
Is the pricing at Fountain Wood negotiable? Nothing in the captured sources states a formal negotiation policy. Listing sites do show periodic move-in specials tied to specific units, so the practical lever is timing a lease around an active concession rather than requesting an off-list discount.
Qualifying requires gross monthly income at roughly three times the rent, and Cortland accepts guarantors who pass the same screening, per the property’s own FAQ. Paying by credit card carries a 2.95% convenience fee; ACH payments carry none.
Floor plans and unit specs
Six named floor plans span 610 to 1,100 sq ft. Airfield, Bear Creek, Bob Eden, and Main are one-bedroom, one-bath layouts between 610 and 750 sq ft. McCormick and Mid-Cities are the two-bedroom, two-bath options, with Mid-Cities topping out at 1,100 sq ft and including a private balcony. The community was built in 1988, has three stories, and holds 288 units total.
Location, commute, and noise
| Metric | Score or distance | What it means in practice | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soundscore | 67/100, “Busy” traffic | Below the quiet range; expect audible road and air traffic | HowLoud, via Apartments.com |
| Drivability | 100/100 | Easy highway access, congestion rarely a factor | Local Logic |
| Walkability | 40/100 | Errands generally require a car | Local Logic |
| Transit | 0/100 | No practical public transit access from the property | Local Logic |
| DFW International Airport | 5.5 mi, 10 min drive | Close enough that flight noise contributes to the Soundscore reading | Apartments.com |
The 100/100 Drivability score and the 40/100 Walkability score point the same direction: this is a drive-everywhere community, and the airport proximity that makes the commute short is the same proximity that keeps the noise score out of quiet territory.
Pet policy
- Cats and dogs: up to two total per apartment, 80 lb weight limit per pet, $400 one-time fee and $25 a month per animal.
- Restricted breeds: Rottweiler, Chow, Presa Canario, Doberman, Akita, Pit Bull types (American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier), Cane Corso, and any Mastiff breed, mixed breeds included, per Cortland’s own policy.
- Other pets: caged or tanked animals allowed with no fee, up to two, tanks capped at 50 gallons; exotic or venomous animals are not permitted.
Are certain dog breeds restricted at Fountain Wood? Yes. Cortland’s own policy names Rottweilers, Dobermans, Akitas, Cane Corsos, Presa Canarios, Chows, Pit Bull-type breeds, and any Mastiff breed as excluded, regardless of the individual animal’s temperament.
Schools
Cortland’s own materials place the property in Grapevine-Colleyville ISD. A separate schools aggregator lists some nearby schools under Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD instead, and carries its own disclaimer to confirm zoning directly with the district. GreatSchools rates nearby elementary options at 6 to 8 out of 10: Grapevine Elementary at 8, North Euless Elementary at 7, and Bear Creek and Lakewood Elementary at 6 each.
Which school district actually zones this address? Grapevine-Colleyville ISD, per the property’s own leasing materials. Renters comparing schools should still confirm the exact zoned campus with GCISD directly, since attendance boundaries shift independently of the address.
What residents and the BBB actually report
| Platform | Volume | Score or signal | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google, via Cortland’s own aggregation widget | 397 reviews | 4.6/5 | General resident sentiment, dated capture |
| Google, a later HAR.com snapshot | 399 reviews | Not separately scored | Same review pool, later date |
| ApartmentRatings | 147 renter votes | 5/5 on staff responsiveness specifically; 100% manager reply rate | Named-staff service quality, not an overall star average |
| Yelp | 23 reviews, 62 photos | Not aggregated in captured data | Independent, lower-volume sample |
| Better Business Bureau | 87 filed complaints | Not accredited; rated for failing to respond to those complaints | Formal complaint handling |
The Google and BBB numbers point in different directions on purpose: a 4.6-star average across nearly 400 reviews describes typical resident experience, while the BBB record describes what happens when a complaint escalates past the leasing office. Reading only the star average misses that second half of the picture.
Is the $6,000-plus price sometimes cited for Fountain Wood accurate? No verified source supports it. The highest confirmed current rent among the sampled units is $1,784, for the 1,100 sq ft two-bedroom Mid-Cities floor plan.
One maintenance detail recurs independently across multiple reviews: a staffer named Edson, described as the maintenance manager, is credited with fixing a leaking faucet within the hour of the request being filed, and with explaining the cause to the resident afterward.
How it compares to next-door Bear Creek communities
| Property | Distance | Starting price | Standout difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fountain Wood | 0 mi | $1,183 | Library and wifi cafe on site; $400 pet fee |
| Oakmont of Bear Creek | 0.09 mi | $1,304 | Lagoon pool and koi pond; pet fee $85, far lower |
| Stonebridge at Bear Creek | 0.21 mi | $1,369 | Two pools plus a hot tub; built in 1998, a decade later |
The pet fee gap is the detail worth acting on directly: a renter with a dog or cat could pay $60 more a month at Oakmont in base rent and still come out ahead within the first year once Fountain Wood’s $400 pet fee is factored in.
