Wow not buying now Wow. we were all set to look and buy in a cove community somewhere between dunedin and tarpon springs in florida. After reading these reviews, we will look elsewhere. This is so disappointing!!

Strawberry ridge corporate greed by cove communities They bought our community strawberry ridge. Immediately huge raises in rents and fees. Trying to syphon off what people have worked for and accumulated their entire life. They don't buy communities the buy a legal license to steal. Corporate greed

We 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!).

CAUTION Cove acquired a community in Fort Myers. Raised the lot rent $417 a month and then added property taxes, Xfinity, etc that was included in the lot rent for the past 20 years. In turn, driving home values way down. Greed at its finest! Stay away, they have a horrible reputation! 81% bad reviews!

Not a good investment No guidance or support for residents or employees, jacked up lot rents for run down community, twice as many listings as last year, communities are old and outdated and not being addressed.
