Camden Belleview Station

Where do I start? How about they towed my car when my parking permit was clearly displayed. ($ 259)
Or maybe the kitchen sink flooded because of the garbage disposal being broken They came and «fixed» it by replacing the dishwasher? THEN, the garbage disposal would turn on when I tried to turn on the dishwasher. I called to get it repaired, then the dishwasher would turn on when I turned on the garbage disposal. The day I moved out he garbage disposal was still not working and the sink still flooded.
DO NOT RENT HERE! There are better places near by.

I have lived in this community for almost a year and have had very few issues. The maintenance crew is the best. Work orders are handled with care and always in a timely fashion! They have the utmost respect for your privacy which to me is great! This morning on a cold and dreary day the maintenance team handed out little snack packs to those leaving the parking garage to thank the tenants! It was a ray of sunshine on what appeared to be a miserable day! Thanks guys!!!

OMG. I’m giving this a one star ONLY because I cant give a zero star. Also I HAVE NEVER GIVEN A REVIEW BEFORE THIS ONE. And if you don’t have a problem living here then you probably have a job working there. Seriously, fire alarms have gone off 15 times at least in 1.5 years. I approach the «management team» and said what happens if people don’t get out and there really is a fire and I got this, «that’s not my fault you guys need to be exiting every time»… Really? It’s winter 0 degrees outside and I’m half naked sleeping. It can’t just get fixed? I’m expected to stand outside for 30 minutes till I confirm that it’s another fuck up by the camdens apartments. It makes no sense coming to the management team with issues because they can’t ever take the blame it’s always an excuse so now I’m going to the public. I wouldn’t stay in this apartment if I had it for free for the next year and I’m not kidding one bit. The only time I’m happy at this place is when I’m leaving every day for work and can’t even do that because I get my car towed for having my sticker In the wrong place. Ok, thanks for the warning! Not, are you kidding me? This «warning» was a $ 237 warning in which I had to collect 15 miles away near Thornton? And now I get a letter saying you want samples of my dogs shit? Really? I understand it’s frustrating when incompetent owners don’t pick up after their dogs shit but to want to take samples so you can go around and test shit every where, is that even legal? TRUST ME, these are only a few of the «problems» here. Storage units getting broke into, doors don’t lock, garage doors don’t open, garage doors don’t close, cars getting keyed, big trash bins as you walk inside. And again I come to complain and talk about this and I’m told these things are «normal», lol ok? Well I have lived in 6 different apartments in 8 years so I guess I’ve never seen «normal.» I love the location and the apartments are nice. Great countertops and appliances and an amazing pool! but that’s it. I have given 1500 every month for 1.5 years and I know this place is damn near full capacity so why is fixing these things such a problem and why do you feel it’s ok to treat us tenants like this? You think full capacity, how bad can it be? well in 1.5 years everyone we used to talk to or know are no longer here. And yes I know I will have someome apart of the team write me back with excuses and reasons for this and probably denying most of these things because that’s what they do. I’ve never had so many issues with a team of employee before. Hope this helps and sorry but I’m speaking for majority of the tenants here. And if you don’t live there yet seriously walk across the parking lot and live in the apartments just east sitting in the same parking lot. Or don’t listen to this and regret your choice every day till they can find a team of people that care. AND if you don’t believe me please tell me why there’s a new management team and employees literally every 6 months and that’s no lie.

As far as local rents go this is about average. But I can’t recommend this place. We had water shut off for 3 full days! 2 days 1 week; 1 day the next. And when it finally came on you either got scalded because hot water came out of both taps or you got cold from both sides, thus having a not so pleasant freezing shower. It finally got fixed 9:30 at night. Now the fobs don’t work & no one is in the office to unlock the door to the business center. They’ve had trouble & the pool. Grills are nasty, dirty. Valet trash that you pay extra for fails to pick up several times a month. Gate to outside doesn’t close or lock anymore (so much for security). Broken or sticking doors to hallway. I don’t fault the maintenance people. They are doing the best they can
with what they’ve got. Seems to be a corporate problem. For the amount they charge for rent, not worth the money. Look elsewhere first. Luckily my lease is up & I got a better value elsewhere.

Do not move in here! To start off we were given the wrong apartment number so things were put in wrong mailbox. Office was of no help and we didn’t get a lot of mail and packages. Then when we walked into our apartment it was filthy and had not been painted. We had to have the cleaners come back because they did not do an adequate job to say the least. Painter also had to come back as he’d missed a wall. At no time did management come to check and were not apologetic or of any assistance. The fire alarms go off in the evening. The speed bumps in the garage tore off the bottom of my car. The water has been off for two days while they fix something. our Toilets don’t flush properly and get filthy fast. They have come up to fix them twice. Our dishwasher has gunk growing in the bottom. The bottom fell off our front door. Elevators break and don’t get fixed for a least a week. This place is so overpriced for what you get. Management is horrific and customer service is none existent.

OMG what’s with the fire alarms after 11 PM. I was asleep. And it is smowing outside. I bet it’s going to be a false alarm. Something with the sprinkler system they’d say… just like the other 20+ times I have heard the same in the time that I’ve lived here. Once I heard it go off several times in one night. All false alarms, not once has it been a real fire. I’ve gone out in rain snow and at 4 AM all for false alarms.

Stay away, guys. If you’re looking for a place to live in the DTC area, this is not the place. I’m gonna list several issues here so prospective residents will not waste their time and money here.
1) Horrible staff.
The staff at Camden Belleview Station is terrible. Don’t let Camden’s «Living Excellence» slogan fool you. This place is full of unprofessional and lazy staff. There is one manager on staff in particular who is living the «fake it ’til you make it» lifestyle to the fullest. If you call the office and she picks up, prepare to be dismissed as quickly as possible; she wants you off the phone. You can see her fake little smile on the other end as plain as if she was standing in front of you.
Maintenance is lacking. There are several times when you’ll walk through the hallways and have to dodge dog poop or throw-​up (human, too) all over the carpeting. These types of messes will stay for several days before anyone cleans them up.
If you need something fixed in your unit, then be prepared for complete half-​assed work. They will cut/​tape/​glue/​staple anything and everything they can to ensure they’re spending as little as possible on fixing things.
Cigarette-​butts and dog poop litter the grounds. There are areas where it’s completely muddy with patches of long dead grass and mulch that looks like it’s ancient. Any time it rains or snows, be prepared for mud on your shoes. If you have dogs, be aware that the doggy poop stations will ALWAYS be out of bags, or overflowing with feces, there will be dog poop bags on the ground all around the trash cans. The staff will walk by it several times throughout the week and completely ignore it. I have personally called in several times to get this issue fixed (I have dogs, so it’s important to me especially), I’ve been told that the trash cans will be monitored daily and 8 am every day. Obviously they’re not keeping their commitment because this is an ongoing problem every week. If they’re going to charge $ 25 per pet for «Pet Rent», then these little issues should take priority.
2) Garage Issues
We have a garage door that NEVER works consistently. It works for a week, and then is disabled for weeks at a time. So much for secure parking.
There have been several instances of shady people and criminal things going on in the garage. A couple of people have had their car keyed or broken into. A woman was passed out on the ground while a creepy man stood over her and told anyone passing by to mind their own business (cops were called, the situation was handled). People without parking permits park all over the first and second floors. Friday nights are always packed with stranger’s cars. The parking permit rule is NOT enforced. Not to mention the people parked outside the office at all times (not allowed except for prospective residents.)
Speed bumps are everywhere in the garage. I can see having one per floor, but not two or three. It’s ridiculous. Prepare to take some damage to your shocks driving over 6 speed bumps every time you leave the garage for work.
The lights in the garage will dim when it gets cold. So dim that you can barely see anything inside. Talk about dangerous considering there has been break ins and car keying.
3) Trash
Valet Waste (a forced door to door trash service) will run you a mandatory $ 25 a month. This company is supposed to show up at 8PM 5 times a week (yes only 5, is this really worth the money? No.) They will frequently show up at 10PM and onward. We’ve seen them come as late as midnight. On top of that, you’re forced to bring in your trash can by 9AM the next morning or you face a hefty fine. Be careful not to leave your can out because they came so late after their appointed time out and then sleep in. Management’s way of forcing you to use this service is by locking the trash room doors in the garage at all times. There are 2 bins in the garage that are at the very bottom level that are frequently overflowing with huge items (beds, furniture). It gets so bad that it will take up parking spots.
4) Fire Alarms and Flooding
Several time since living here, fire alarms have woken up residents in the middle of the night. They are all false alarms. So after you wake up, get the dogs ready to run to safety, you find out its all just bad maintenance. These things are loud (yes, a good thing), but they will sound for a solid 20 – 30 minutes after they go off.
Recently, the entire first floor was flooded. This building is falling apart. I feel so sorry for the people who’s units are now ruined with water damage.
The list goes on. Unfortunately Unilocal only allows 5001 characters.
Please guys, just stay away.

I really love my apartment, and our neighbors are pretty pleasant. The hot tub and pool are great. The crown molding and granite countertops are features that I love.
However, when we first moved in, the toilet didn’t work at all. The problem wad not resolved for almost a month… Which means that every single time one of us had to go, we had to go downstairs to the main office and use the public bathroom. Completely unacceptable! They offered us no apologies or rent breaks regardless of the fact that we were basically living in a showroom.
Also, they hired a new girl in the main office who is completely disrespectful to me and all of the other female residents that I’ve spoken with.
She may be the most rude woman I’ve ever met.

Don’t get me wrong, I like living here… but there are too many issues to turn a blind eye to. And honestly, enough’s enough. I can’t wait to get out. Here’s why:
–10% rent increase upon renewing our lease. Without so much as a carpet cleaning, painting, nadda.
–noisy neighbors. these walls/​ceilings are cardboard thick.
–bi-​monthly «accidental» all-​building fire alarms. They’ve been working on the issue for some time, however I am still woken up at 11pm by the obnoxious alarm at least once a month.
–terrrrrible parking garage speed bumps. One would assume that speed bumps are not that big of an issue… unless they live here. Hubs has declared them «speed triangles» rather than bumps. They’re THAT ridiculous.
-$ 25/​month charge for «trash valet». Yes folks, this absurdly lazy service exists. Residents are required to pay for people to collect trash at your door. Never mind the fact that the trash dumpster is one hallway’s walk away.
Almost redeeming factors include:
–Stellar pool/​hot tub open year round along with gas grills to BBQ
–Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances
–Fun neighbors that double as Sunday funday poolside friends
