The Cove Review

It has been a pleasure living at the Cove . I moved here four years ago and was very excited because I always wanted to live at the Cove in the early 90s. I love the fountains and ducks and my view of the pond and fountain so beautiful. The best scenery Wa has to offer. I will miss view deeply it brought me so much peace during the pandemic. I was laid off for a year and half. Janai and Carol helped me through two cases of Covid with payment plans and so much support from every staff member. Joe always was kind to me and fixed everything promptly. I will miss My large luxury apartment with high ceilings and large bedrooms. Thank you Carol for patience and love and concerns for your tenants. Thank you Cove team for understanding that we all faced a trauma together but we all survived it as a community. My daughter said thank you too!! We love you Cove

Great place to raise a family

The cove is one of the best places I have ever had the pleasure of renting from the staff is great maintenance is fast and quick and well trained in all areas. The grounds are kept clean. The apartments are spacious and updated and everybody you run into is friendly. Only complaint is parking is very limited for the amount of people that live here.

Fast internet access from Xfinity, No problem with parking so far with me since I have an assigned spot. No crazy neighbors bothering me too; hoping it stays that way hehe. So far very happy!

I’m Home!

I moved into The Cove Apartment Homes recently and I am so happy with my decision to make this community my new home. Not only do I absolutely love the apartments offered here (especially the style I went with— the 1 bed + loft), the staff is also amazing and made my move in smooth and effortless. I am specifically thankful I got a chance to work with Malina during this process. Malina was the most professional, kind and honest leasing agent I’ve ever worked with. She made me comfortable the moment I started working with her, as if we had known each other for a lifetime already. Malina made my move in a stress-free and exciting process and I would recommend anyone I know to not only work with her in finding a new apartment or home, but also to hire her. She is amazing at what she does and anyone would be lucky to have her as an employee! Thanks Malina, and thanks to The Cove team!
