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

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or employees, jacked up lot rents for run down community, twice as many listings as last year, communities are old and outdated and not being addressed.

Strawberry 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.

I 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!

They bought Bear Creek here in Ormond… They bought Bear Creek here in Ormond Beach. I’ve had my house on the market for almost a year now and can’t sell because they will raise the lot rent by $350.00 on whoever buys it! The community here had a scheduled town hall meeting with Cove and they cancelled at the last minute!! They are apparently not concerned about communication with their renters. I personally feel like I’m a hostage here. I wouldn’t recommend them to an enemy!!!
