A small village on the eastern edge of Hagerstown
Cortland is a small collection of townhomes and villas organized by the developer around a recently constructed events venue known as Cortland Mansion. Prospective owners are drawn to this neighborhood by the convenience it provides. “People like Cortland because it’s close to so many things,” says Cynthia Sullivan, an associate broker with Sullivan Select LLC who’s lives in the area for over 40 years. “It’s right by Lowe’s, the grocery store and the post office. Other than that, it’s mostly its own little corner of the world.” While Cortland Mansion sits at the heart of the community, hosting weddings, banquets and more throughout the year, the quiet streets and cul-de-sacs of Cortland feel peacefully removed from the bustle of the city. All homes here feature shared walls, meaning that neighbors are always close enough to get to know one another. “You really feel the small-town atmosphere of Hagerstown in Cortland,” Sullivan says.
The Hagerstown City Market takes place once a month behind historic Maryland Theatre.

Single story duplex homes are a common housing style in Cortland.
A community of neighbors sharing walls
The Cortland neighborhood comprises three subdivisions, constructed between 2008 and 2023, all of which feature attached homes. “It’s all built out over there, with only a few very recent builds, and everything in Cortland is attached,” Sullivan says. “There are two types of home in Cortland. There are regular single-story houses and villas. The villas have two stories. They all share walls, and all have garages.” These sit on small lots, often with a patch of front lawn and a backyard shared by two rows of houses. End units feature wraparound gardens with enough space for shrubs and flower beds. Buyers can expect to pay between $285,000 and $350,000 for single-story houses, while the two-story single-family units start around $410,000 and can rise as high as $500,000. The southern part of the community is dominated by the Cortland Apartments, which come in two- and three-bedroom units.
