Camden Heights

Great location and community. I have been living here since October 2015 and it’s been great so far. There are some typical apartment-​related frustrations that you would find at any similar sized community, but the neighborhood, price, service level and apartment layouts more than make up for them.
I would definitely recommend Camden Heights!

I moved in to Camden Heights in December– on a Sunday– before the office opened for business. The customer service has exceeded all expectations. Camden offers, what I think is, a 24-​hour maintenance hotline. John was quickly able to get a staffer to come open the gate so my movers could access my apartment. Since then, I’ve experienced common issues like maintenance to the community water lines and work done to the entry gate. Each time, Staff alerted me to the work ahead of time– sometimes days ahead– so I can plan and make arrangements. They even have a sort of social media page where residents can communicate. That’s nice. I have felt safe so far. My neighbors are friendly, and with the exception of traffic (which comes from living along an interstate) it has been quiet. The grounds are well-​maintained. I have even seen staff clean dust from the garage light fixtures. It’s that manicured. But, what I love the most, is that when family and friends visit, they enjoy the complex. There is ample guest parking. The view from atop our garage is unbeatable. I would encourage you to live here, because the neighborhood offers so much too!

This is like living in actual hell. The other day I had to boil water using our emergency water supplies because the water was off to the ENTIRE BUILDING for over seven hours. SEVEN HOURS.
This feels like living in a Motel 6, complete with all the riff raff that probably goes on in a a Motel 6. I am embarrassed to bring friends here. The only star I would give it is the pool is thoroughly utilized during the summer.
The grills NEVER HAVE GAS. Coming home after a long day when you want to throw some steaks on the grill and finding out there is no gas is one of the most enraging things that I’ve experienced here, and it’s happened at least three times.
Expect to be screwed when it comes to breaking your lease as well, because they will drain you for every last dime if you try to break early. Read the terms of your agreement diligently and carefully before signing.
Edit: The only other positive I can think of is that it is literally 1000 ft away from Onion Creek, Christian’s Tailgate, BB’s And a really awesome bike trail. I walk to somewhere in the Heights from here at least once a week.

I lived at Camden heights for almost 3 years, it was a blast so much to do in the area. the hike and bike trail right there and white oak is walking distance away. Definitely moving back as soon as my current lease ends!

Pros:
–Location is convenient
–Front office staff is friendly and responsive
–Maintenance is quick and efficient
–Apartment is clean, spacious, has new appliances
Cons:
–No mailroom to accept packages (generally USPS shipments go back to the post office if they are over a certain size and Fedex /​UPS will just leave package at your doorstep.
–Crime: Seen a few reports of tires stolen and cars left on blocks. A new security guard on watch at night has been put in place so this might have fixed the problem.
–Apartments facing highway are extremely noisy.
–Rent is expensive.

I have lived here for roughly 5 months, and love it so much! Its close to so many good restaurants and bars and my apartment is so spacious. The huge perk for me is living right next to the trails… I have a dog and love to ride my bike, its great to exit my apartment and be a street away from a trail! Maintenance is awesome and super quick, they always bring over a treat for my dog and leave the service request letting me know what they did to fix the problem. Thanks Heights staff for doing such a great job and making me feel at home, I absolutely recommend living here!

Loved living here for almost 2 years, but moved closer to work. That is the only reason I left. I had a gorgeous downtown view and the staff was always very friendly. The apartment was cozy and I checked out the gym once or twice and it was never busy which I liked. I got a reserved spot and loved it because I always knew where I parked my car. The price for a reserved spot was so cheap! If you want a beautiful downtown view with a great apartment, check this place out! I would rent here again in a heartbeat!

I lived at this complex for a long time before i recently moved away from the city. The location is great, short walking distance to the pubs and restaurants near by and a quick über to midtown is and added benefit as well since it is not too far. The staff is absolutely amazing, the amenities are very nice as well, there is a nice jogging trail close by and buffalo bayou is close by as well. The actual apartments inside are very nice and spacious. The layouts are not too boxy like some of the newer complexes near by. I know that Camden has recently gotten some heat about no longer accepting packages but I have always sent my packages to work because I am there more than I am home. Just makes more sense. All in all Camden Heights is a pretty cool place to live.

Now that I have lived here for over a year, I still absolutely love this apartment! The maintenance is extremely fast to fix anything and everyone is the office is always so sweet and helpful. Walking to local restaurants and bars is also a huge plus! I will Definitely recommend living here.

You can’t beat Camden Heights location! They are so close to White Oak and the bike trail. They do a lot of events for the residents that we all enjoy. The office staff is really nice and always very helpful and maintenance is always quick to respond to any issues I have ever had. It has been a great place to call home. I would recommend Camden Heights to anyone looking to move into the Heights neighborhood.
Thanks,
Melissa

I have lived at Camden Heights for almost a year now. I can say that this apartment complex is certainly Worth considering when you are looking for your next apartment home. The location is wonderful, You are close everything including downtown and midtown. The complex is well-​maintained and I think that is absolutely necessary when ever someone endeavors to live in apartment home. Any maintenance issue I’ve had has been addressed promptly and professionally. The management staff are all wonderful individuals, They go Beyond the call of duty in order to keep their residents happy. There are regular events sponsored by Camden which are often quite fun.
As for the appearance of the complex itself, It’s nice: in today’s world of cookie cutter post-​modern apartment décor, Camden is able to break from the norm. Camden, provides their residents with an apartment that feels homier and more approachable than their competitors– and does so for a better price. The individual units themselves are in great condition and are well laid out which serves to illicit a spacier feel.
I’d also like to take the time to address the package delivery issue which some other reviewers are complaining about. Understand that while I can see how for some this will materialize to be a slight inconvenience, I also understand where the policy itself comes from. It protects Camden from being liable for errors made on the behalf of the post office or the mailman. While this does differ from some other complexes I understand why the policy was enacted, and therefore I am electing not to penalize an otherwise great staff and great apartment complex in general, for a decision that was in all likelihood out of the staff’s control.
Simply put, Camden Heights is a great place to live and I would recommend to anyone looking to live in an apartment where they will feel at home and well taken care of.

The staff is friendly and helpful. They have a lot of social activities for residents.
My main complaint is that they do not accept packages on behalf of residents. This is a huge inconvenience and has led to several lost and incorrectly delivered packages. I’ve never rented in a place that didn’t accept packages for its residents. They changed the policy halfway into my lease. I would not have rented here had I known that this would be an issue.

I lived in Camden Heights for 2 years and found it really pleasent. Its right on a good running/​walking trail, walking distance to Target and bars on White Oak, just cleaned up the pool and maintenance was really responsive. Its true that they dont accept pacakges anymore and it can be noisey due to a large population of young people.

I have been at Camden Heights for almost 3 years and couldn’t be happier! The facilities are great and the staff is attentive and response, and are always very pleasant to work with. I recommend Camden Heights to anybody looking for a great place to call home!

Nice apartments, great location. The hallway can be noisy when people go through. Can sometimes hear through the ceiling from the tenant above. Too expensive, they raised my rent $ 200, and so I’m moving out instead of seeing how much they raise it again.

I lived at Camden Heights for 15 months and had no problems… AT FIRST. The staff was friendly, the location was great and I loved going to free yoga by the pool on Thursdays. That was until my neighbor directly above me got a dog.
The dog barked every single night/​early morning for nearly two months… sometimes at 11 p.m., sometimes at 2 a.m., sometimes at 5 a.m. Throughout these two months, I reported the barking dog in the middle of the night at least 10 times by calling the resident services line. They would put me through to someone offsite who would «alert the security guard to go check on it.» Well, that would have been great had we 1. known which apartment it was coming from and 2. the people had been home. I got so desperate that I would sleep in my living room on the couch and could still hear it. I recorded the barking on my phone and sent them via email to the staff. I called multiple times and spoke with Erika who was always very sweet… but nothing was done. Finally, there was one night where the security guard actually came into my apartment at midnight to try to listen to it himself. He identified that it was definitely coming from the apartment right above me… great! However, the staff said this apartment did not have a dog on file… sooo still nothing changed.
After dealing with the barking for several more weeks and going into the office to complain a couple times, I finally got to speak with the manager who said she would ask the apartment owners above me to have a meeting with her. After this, it finally stopped for good, which was great. I just wish it hadn’t taken two months for something to be done.
So even after all this, I recently moved out and received my final account statement in the mail. Not only did I not get my $ 100 security deposit back, but I actually owe them an additional $ 95. This is on top of the $ 100 cleaning fee I had to pay for my apartment. The fees were for «repairing holes in walls» and «replacing carpet». I had spackled every hole upon move out and my apartment definitely had normal wear and tear, but not enough to be charged $ 200 for it.
Camden is overall a good place to live for the price in an awesome location, as long as you don’t have an issue that the management doesn’t care about and have no wear and tear (including spackled picture frame holes) in your apartment.

I lived in Camden City Centre in 2014 and had a great experience, which encouraged me to live in Camden Heights. I’ve been surprisingly displeased with this experience thus far.
Receiving Packages: First, we had weeks of issues of not getting a package and after the difficulty in communication with the office I found out that the office does not sign for packages. Now, the office doesn’t take packages at all. I’ve never lived in an apartment which doesn’t provide what I think is a required amenity, of receiving mail packages. As a benchmark, my girlfriend lived in a lesser luxorious apartment which received packages, and paid $ 800 per month for rent.
Hot Water: We’ve had no hot water for 4 days due to a standard replacement maintenance did across all apartments. I’ve been on the phone with the office each of these days, and dealt with maintenance noisily working through my apartment (I work from home so this disruption is quite difficult), for 4 days.
The apartment, staff friendliness, website, and parking are all great. But if you receive packages, or appreciate the occasional hot shower, you may find Camden Heights to be sub-​par when compared to the $ 800 per month apartments.

So I was pissed about the package delivery (still am), and a little miffed about the rent increase in the past two years I’ve been here — but other than that this is a wonderful place to live. Quick maintenance, helpful front desk staff, and an excellent location. I’d love to stay but if rent keeps going up, it may be another story.

I have to edit my review based on changes in management and management decisions.
The apartment complex no longer accepts packages meaning that you have to go to the USPS office to pick up all of your packages. My package was left outside my door step and it was stolen. This is new management decision is ridiculous and quite frankly unacceptable given the rent prices. I will definitely not be renewing my lease when it comes up solely on the fact that I can not receive packages.
Aside from the package issue the apartment complex itself is in good condition. Maintenance issues are resolved quickly and for the most part the front office staff is cordial.

These apartments are great! Yes, the rent can be expensive, but it’s competitive and you won’t find a better value in the Heights. The staff has been excellent, they host some sort of social event seemingly weekly and are always on top of the needs of the complex. Security is average, but it’s a priority of the staff. There are issues but it’s not out of the norm when compared to other large cities or complexes.
And I really can’t say enough about the staff, particularly Ali Nematpour. We have been here for one year and he has been with is every step of the way. Making us feel at home from the very beginning. And that’s way we just renewed our lease with him! If you are even considering Camden Heights, ask for Ali!
