Turn around and run as far away as possible! While the staff has generally been friendly and management has been nice to us personally, our experience with the condition and maintenance of our apartment has been extremely disappointing. On the day we moved in, the water was not turned on for our unit, so the AC was blowing hot air while it was already around 90 degrees outside. After the water was turned on, we attempted to use the washing machine and discovered there was a drainage problem when our downstairs neighbor told us water was entering their unit. We then had to wait for Roto-Rooter to clear the drain lines before we could finish the laundry we had already started. Several doors in our apartment were also installed or adjusted poorly and rub against their frames. More seriously, our exterior patio sliding door does not fully close or latch because part of the latch is broken in half. The bottom of the door remains partially open, allowing outside air and insects into the apartment and conditioned air to escape. We submitted a written maintenance request for the sliding door through the resident portal on July 21, 2026. As of August 27, more than five weeks later, the door has still not been repaired. We were told that the work needed to be handled by the third-party company that renovated the apartment and that management was waiting to hear back from them. The resident portal currently lists the work order as "Work Completed," even though the door remains in the same unrepaired condition. The kitchen renovation also appears poorly finished. There are gaps and inconsistent caulking underneath the bar/counter area, and we recently discovered a large number of ants crawling into our cats' food bowl. The ants appear to be coming from underneath the kitchen counter near these gaps. We submitted a pest-control request, but management cancelled it and told us to ensure open food sources were closed, stating that ants happen seasonally when a food source is available. We have requested that the apparent entry point underneath the counter be inspected as well. There are other layout and renovation issues. The kitchen counter/bar is not connected to the wall, leaving a visible opening underneath it. The refrigerator and dishwasher cannot be opened at the same time, and the refrigerator also cannot be opened when the nearby laundry-room closet door is open. The freezer and refrigerator doors can also strike the laundry-room closet door if it is not held out of the way. Noise has also been a recurring problem. A neighboring dog frequently barks for extended periods, sometimes for several hours during the day. We have complained to management about the barking multiple times. We have also experienced loud vehicles in the parking lot, including being awakened around 4:00 a.m. by someone doing burnouts/peel-outs. Overall, our biggest concern is not that an apartment occasionally needs maintenance. Problems happen. Our concern is that significant issues have remained unresolved after being reported, particularly an exterior sliding door that has not properly closed or latched since at least July 21. More than a month after submitting the written maintenance request, we are still waiting for the repair. This will be my first, and last, time renting from The Connor Group. read more

Julie the apartment manger has done so much to help in making things happen. She is kind and very understanding.

I would not recommend Dovetree Apartments based on my experience. The apartments themselves were fine, but the management was very disappointing. The advertised rent was only part of the story. The mandatory "utility package" ended up being little more than about $200 per month in internet (130), amenity fees (70), and other miscellaneous charges that significantly increased the actual cost of living there. Be sure to read the fine print and understand what you'll really be paying each month. After moving out, I provided my forwarding address well before my move out date. More than 30 days passed without receiving my security deposit or an itemized list of deductions as required under Ohio law. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue directly with management, my security deposit was not returned as of August (I moved out in May), and the matter remained unresolved. Their lack of communication and failure to address the issue caused months of unnecessary frustration and forced me to consider legal action to recover my deposit. read more

My experience with the staff has been absolutely excellent. They made my move-in process quick and smooth, offering support every step of the way. Any time I had questions, they were ready to help. Truly an outstanding team read more

TURN AROUND! RUN, RUN, AND KEEP RUNNING. Don't be fooled by these employee manufactured reviews they literally have beg and beg and beg/pressure you to do it right there in the office before you realize what is actually going on... Just like they do for the signature of their leases because they know it's truly terrible!! If I could give zero stars, I would!!! This was my first and last experience with Connor Group. I did not get into business with them by choice they took over my apartment community. It was nothing but a nightmare from there. From more than doubling my rent from 789 to 1600 in 2 years after all their bullshit mandatory AND hidden fees, WITHOUT A SINGLE UPGRADE!!! Listen I had a beige stove from literally the 70s with only a single big burner and a white fridge and black microwave..... to top it off tha apartment was equipped with extremely cheap wooden closet doors/cabinets that when you would try to open the closet doors the knobs would tear off, you go to pull your silverware drawer out the whole drawer falls apart. Totally worth $1600 right?! This place is an entire SCAM disguised under the brand of a company that does not give any flying f*cks!!! The company is morally off of fuck everyone over as much as you can!! do you like random three to $400 unexplainable "RBS" bills that somehow always have a past due balance, even though though you are not allowed to have any past due balance on it, or they will try to evict you within the first FIVE days of the month?? Can you guess what that bill is for? That RBS bill is to reflect you paying for all of the property, light and water air conditioning in the office, the pool.... Crazy huh? speaking of the pool, let's mention how jacked up it is And conveniently closed for months at a time, because the office simply doesn't want to deal with it.... Or how about that they have zero dog restrictions and it went from a quiet community to nothing but 24/7 giant barking dogs that echo throughout the community with nothing done about!! Totally luxury, right? Do you like harsh scare tactics, such as your notice to vacate threaten to be torn up in your face when you try to move that goes to the further extent of them lying and withholding information so you have to involve legal help to avoid being slapped eviction?! Especially when you are entirely in the right and NOT bound to any lease agreements that have not started yet?? ( yes they will literally try to trick you into not knowing your left foot from your right, and staying until your next lease starts, then you are legally screwed into it ) DoveTree/The Connor Group. They will literally try to ruin your life and smile in your face as they do it!!! Five months later I'm living my life doing my own thing believing everything is put to rest, and here comes the random $4000 bill that was sent to collections without EVER even contacting me!!! crazy part is I even used to do the Leasers Brooke, and The PM of the office Katie Powell's and they still pulled all this!! Come to find out later Katie was telling people I quit doing hair lol really trying to hit someone from every angle I guess!! I did the courtesy of attaching a few screenshots of my flimsy lease agreements, just to show where the dates were aligned. They were trying to hold me to the six month lease from September to March, claiming that it was an AUTOMATIC continuation and it is a legally binding document and whatever other bullshit she tried to spit out of her mouth, that was completely untrue. It's literally the law that You are not bound into your next lease until it starts For anyone else, reading this, that might be going through something similar and needing to get out from under them.. Sooo I ASKED IF SHE COULD POINT TO ANYWHERE IN THE LEASE THAT THAT WAS STATED AND SHE COULD NOT. . Shocker. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. read more

See all

The Dovetree rental process is a scam they know your not credit worthy but they proceed to complete the application knowing the Conor group will deny you. Also the home they showed has a strong odor of a dog and the unit was not as advertised it had all old appliances but they advertised new ones. So if your credit is fair and your a minority stay away from dovetree read more

Ashton and Brooke were lovely! I had my mind set on looking at a few places but everything about Dovetree was too perfect to pass up. I've only been living here a few weeks so far and I'm obsessed! read more

Great staff that did a great job on my tour. Garrett answered all questions professionally and promptly.

We recently moved out of Dovetree Apartments, after living there for three years. Overall, we had a really positive experience. Management was very on top of maintenance issues--whenever we had a complaint (our refrigerator and dishwasher each broke once), it was addressed within 24 hours. Regular maintenance on the air filters, fire extinguishers, etc was performed, and communicated to the tenants ahead of time. The heat and AC worked well and efficiently, and the apartment had good water pressure. For the price, I think that these apartments are a good value. The negatives of our time were more with neighbors, than with management. There are many, many smokers. As non-smokers, it was obnoxious to not be able to keep our windows open all of the time during the warmer months, and sometimes we felt like we couldn't use our balcony. I think that is pretty typical of apartment living in Dayton, though. There are SO many geese on the property, and they leave turds everywhere. Not much management can do about that. We originally picked Dovetree because of the location, and it remained our favorite feature. It's an easy drive to 725 and I75, and you can walk to Kroger, CVS, and a few restaurants (highly recommend Chappys on Alex-Bell). We moved out because we bought a house; otherwise, we would have stayed there longer. read more
