Addison Cove

Been here 10 years, and the new owners that took over, well, its like putting lipstick on a pig. They put a lot into the outside to make it "pretty", but the apts have old stuff in them. If you have been here a long time you have crappy appliances. They did clean out a lot of the "unsavory" characters, but seems new ones have been let in. Parking is rough, very few handicapped spots, Old appliances, I quit using the oven and started using an air fryer since the temp is hard to regulate. My stove top? well, one burner seems to love staying on high all the time I tried to get it fixed but the maint guy didnt have a fix for it, so I barely use it. I now developed a leak in the bathroom sink, and fingers crossed they fix it soon. Usually the maint guys are pretty quick to come. If you get a remodeled apt, then you have nice new appliances, flooring, paint and window shades. I had to buy my own new blinds as they charge you if your old ones get trashed, which mine did by the sun since my apt faces west. The sun is brutal in the afternoon and its hard to keep your apt cool unless you like an expensive electric bill by keeping the temp low on the unit They do have nice ac units though. Just a little attention to the old time people that have lived here for a long time would be nice. Not much diff between rent from an old unremodeled apt to a remodeled one.. cable and Internet is around $90 due to you have to use Spectrum since it is hard wired in... You have to pay it even if you dont want it, Its included in the rent. All in all, I give this place a 6.5-7.

pest control only places cards in the unit, they do not spray

There may be a laundry room, sure, but the machines constantly "malfunction" or are "out of order," with the staff not putting in work orders to correct the issue. They will instead turn everyone's water off and remodel the laundry room, allowing you to do your laundry, but only after three days of failure to communicate that there was a plan to redo the laundry room in the first place. I'd say failure to communicate with the "community" that you're attempting to "cultivate" is relatively lackluster. This is further aggravated by the remodels typically looking half done, or paint in electrical outlets, covering fans, or even splattered all over the sidewalk without being cleaned up.

When I first started living here, it sounded like torture was occurring down the hall. I think maybe that person had a bad month or something. Beyond that, everything was relatively normal aside from the water being shut off every other week with almost no notice, or the clothes washing room being closed for almost two months, or the internet I had to pay for 3 months, and did not receive service for. I also was told "we want it to be perfect for when you move in" but when I moved in there was paint all over the floor, the door didn't close and open properly, the water heater was never hooked up, the towel holder was falling off, the toilet paper holder was dangling after the first week, and they didn't give me any lightbulb for over my stove. It was mentioned that "We'll even give you lightbulbs if you need them." However, contacting someone at this place is a nightmare because even when you do get someone, they usually hang up before even saying hello. There is a constant change in management, so good luck with consistency. One day, you'll be working with So-and-so, then out of nowhere, "Oh, they don't work here." As far as living here, however, the location is incredibly central, the bowling alley across the street is awesome, and everything you need is just a walk away. The people who are here are generally not rude, and they are always willing to help. They paid me back the 3 months of internet service I paid for, and sent 25% off pizza coupons in an email. The mailboxes are really clean, and the A/C is phenomenal as long as you clean the filters as needed. Overall good experience for first time living on my own.
