GBWe are on our third manager in less… We are on our third manager in less than 2 years because Cove does not give them the tools or information and constantly changes their minds about what they are doing. We are getting fancy pavers, but have a clubhouse where you can fall through the floor and through the floor heating grates. We have inaccurate street signs - that took 2 years to get made after being promised. They put a fountain in a pond but can't keep it working.... while there are 4 streets in the community that flood when we get more than 2 inches of rain. Corporate comes to visit and smirks openly in the office to a visitor filling in an app that residents do not know what is coming (needless to say, that visitor did not complete the app!!). The maintenance man has often been drinking and cannot lift more than 30 pounds, but they keep him. Residents need to do their own trimming, but if they try to help each other, the office will not let the trimmings be picked up by the park because the resident herself (80 yrs old in a walker) did not place them on the curb and paid the neighbor $25 to do the trimming (making the kind neighbor a business!!- get a life!).

GBI live in a cove community in Ruskin… I live in a cove community in Ruskin Florida- several years ago I had a travel trailer there- this time I am in my RV and have been here a year and a half and love it- they have done so many upgrades to the park- the lots are spacious- great activities and amenities! You get what you pay for. The staff here are friendly and helpful! I would highly recommend it!

GBStrawberry Ridge Florida was homey and… Strawberry Ridge Florida was homey and welcoming then, Corporate took down the block white fencing that hid the homes and kept us secluded. The white fence was lined with lovely mature hedges. Then bam! That was all torn out and replaced with black metal prison looking fencing that changes the look and security. Now, SR has the appearance of an old Florida Trailor Park. You can see straight through the fencing with no safety of being hidden. It took months to replace Palms and "some" plants. There were NO operational Gates for even longer. We were and are like sitting ducks. The rent and taxes keep soaring like their other properties. SR has a sweet senior population that now has a Gator and babies to contend with. From 1977 till a few months SR never had a Gator. Two 90+ y/o's live directly on the Gator infested VERY SMALL pond. Sigh. None of these issues have anything to do with kind Office Staff. ALL of this began with the aquisition of SR by Cove Properties.
