Using CRUD module to capture user input is easier and quicker way. CRUD Module exists for such cases. Regarding whether this is the correct way, it depends. It you have lot of customization then you can overide the crud templates and it should work.

Just create a Addresses Controller extending CRUD. It would be available as part of /admin/. Thats it.
