While hunting for a townhouse to make room for my families newest addition, we had a pretty narrow opening for our ideal living space and were going to most likely have to settle in some areas.
Upon looking for a new home, we stumbled upon Bayberry Cove online. We investigated and found not only did it have everything we were looking for, but was also within our price range and in the ideal area.
Too good to be true, Right?
I took to the reviews, and found a flurry of angry tenants.
...Screaming about everything from management to bed bugs. I regrettably crossed off this listing.
Jump forward a week, and it's the fateful day of apartment hunting. My then 8 month pregnant girlfriend and I have tons of appointments set up, each one more disappointing than the last. I see the sign for Bayberry Cove as we're leaving our last appointment and think to myself "why not".
We are then greeted to the single most professional and friendly staff I have every encountered. Linda is a wonderful woman. We fell in love with the townhouses, lofts, and even condo-esque ranches we were shown, having every feature we would need.
Once again, my pessimistic instincts kick in. This is too good to be true.
I fall to my knees and inspect for bed bugs, flush toilets, look for anything that could be hiding. To the mortification of my of my better half I may add. She explains to Linda that I had read terrible reviews online and we hadn't even planned on looking at Bayberry. We were then informed that the community had been around 6 years ago a section 8 community. It was bought out, and new management no longer wished to be that type of community. Most if not all of the reviews were from unhappy people who had to move. Including a few ex-staff members.
After all, people don't go out of their way to write good reviews very often do they?
Jump forward, my son is 6 months old, we are living happily in our 2 bedroom, 1 bath ranch style townhouse, and we have no plans of moving.
This community isn't perfect. The units aren't sparkling and perfect and new. But it's far from bad. This is an excellent place for a young working class family who has a few more years before they can save up for a house. It's affordable, units have everything from washer and dyer hook ups to dishwashers, a pool, playground, ample parking, and the staff is friendly to boot.
My Family and I are here until it's time to plant roots somewhere for the long haul, and we're more than happy to be here.
