I lived at Camden HS for about 3 years. It was a relatively good experience, minus a few bad ones.
Good: Pretty landscape. Apt style is nice and has been updated over the years. People in the office are all nice and accommodating overall, even though there were exceptions - see below.
Bad: First of all, there was a murder. Nothing like this should happen with gates, cameras, and patrols. After this tragic incident, they increased security; but, took a very long time to do so. Break-ins
...continued and there were even cars stolen. Sadly, with the increased security protocol there came increased regulation of the pool guest rules. I love being a hostess and having friends over, but with the 2 guests per apartment rule being strictly enforced, I could never have a group of friends/family over for a grill-out or pool day. I understand the complex not wanting strangers out numbering the tenants on a regular basis, but not allowing the tenants to have more than 2, when pool area is completely empty, is not ok.
The 1st 2 years were relatively nice and I enjoyed my time, but the 3rd year was awful.
I had increasing/extreme allergies over the months leading up to the move out. I believed the symptoms were mold related because I started noticing mold on my books, on shoes, in kitchen cabinets, and even on clothes. I kept a very clean home, so I was very confused. I did a thorough clean of my apartment after noticing, but my allergies continued and the mold came back. I sent in a request for mold in the apartment to be checked. They came out and claimed there was no mold. I followed up with an email to insist that mold was present in the apartment. The office, did nothing. Months passed by with continuing symptoms. Finally, we decided to move out. After moving our stuff out of the apartment, we were suspicious of a metal cover in my closet. Sure enough, mold COVERED the pipes behind the cover. I sent in another maintenance request, which resulted in being told to talk to mgmt. Once I got mgmt to check out the mold, I was dismissed and told that the mold is "normal" and would not cause any airborne issues.
I am disappointed with mgmt at Camden HS for not doing anything in regards to the mold and essentially not caring about a tenant's health/safety. I do not recommend moving here due to my experiences. And just know that if you live on the first floor, "mold is normal" according to mgmt. That is a quote from the head manager w/ head of maintenance to witness.
