Cameron Creek Apartments

Pros:
— Trish in management was awesome, but she went to corporate so I guess this would be a half pro.
— Location is prime if you’re interested in going out to Mill Ave, Scottsdale, go to ASU, etc.
— Lotsa parking (not sure why a Unilocaler previously said there was none… There is ALWAYS an open spot close to your unit, in addition to an assigned spot.
— The grounds are kept up really well. Very pretty!
— Price. It’s well priced for the location; but you get what you pay for *see cons*.
Cons:
— The apartments are nothing like the model. Very outdated appliances, our AC ceiling leaked when it rained, and literally looks like it’s about to fall in.
— Despite putting in requests, up until moving out, I was unable able to use the stove and oven at the same time because the breaker would pop off.
— Bugs… Bugs everywhere. These little black roly-​poly guys. We just accepted them as roommates. Two scorpions during our stay (the little bark ones, yikes!). And a partridge in a pear treeee… Just kidding, just one flying cockroach thing.
— The price is good, but like I said, you get what you pay for. The apartments themselves have immense potential… If management put 20% of the effort they put into the landscaping into the units.
— Management is kinda mean. Trish was awesome — she was a big reason why we chose Cameron Creek — but then she left & we would avoid management unless absolutely necessary. Before, we’d just drop in to say hello. Such a bummer :/​
Overall, it worked for the time being, but it was definitely time to move on.

Lived here for a year, a couple years ago. It was fine. The appliances and overall style was a bit outdated, but having access to pools, a hot tub, a small gym, volleyball courts, a little dog run, and a generally safe neighborhood was nice. The general demographic of residents is very mixed – some students, some families, some young professionals. I had one problem with a loud student party happening late on a weekday night, but it was just that one time, and once the police came (yeah, I resorted to calling them after a small fight broke out) it quieted down. We had just a couple cockroach and scorpion encounters, but it’s the desert, so what are you going to do?
Overall, we had a 2 BR/​2 BA for a very reasonable price. Management was always friendly and maintenance, which was just a phone call away, was quick to respond to maintenance requests. Guest parking was usually decent, too, in my experience, which was nice, since I often had friends over. It’s nothing extravagant or elegant, but it met my needs just fine!

DO NOT!, I REPEAT… DO NOT MOVE IN HERE!!!, If I could subtract stars I would. This apartment complex and management company deserves a –3 stars. The office manager Trish is a conniving, lieing, and untrustworthy person who doesn’t need to be in this business. The complex continually adds money onto your rent and then won’t explain where the additional charge came from as well as become extremely rude about the issue. They take their time fixing issues, and won’t take care of the black widow and scorpion problem during the summer. They treat the tennants like crap, belittle them and twist their words around to were they sound stupid. Not to mention, the trash cans fill up extremely quick so then people just throw their bags on top and when it falls they don’t even pick it up. And also when it rains the Asians lay their smelly trash bags next to the trash area wall.

Parking here is ridiculous. There are NEVER enough spots. The dryers dont work properly and management wont fix them. EVERYTIME it rained, my apartment flooded on the second floor. Time and time again Trish said they fixed the roof and it ALWAYS happened again. Not nearly as bad as the parking lot (check the pic I posted) and the basketball court adjacent to the office — TOTALLY flooded. A lot of the parking lot will flood as well. Check the pic, I took it in front of the mailboxes after it rained. Also, the fire alarm kept going off from the rain getting into the electrical system. NO ONE picks up their dog’s droppings, but its close to campus at least.

The staff is nice and get to your needs as soon as they can, the neighbors are good too. But I’ve lived here for 5 months now and there hasn’t been a week without something breaking. Don’t count on the safety of being in a gated community because the gates are always broken. There’s always a pipe bursting somewhere so the waters constantly off. We had a pigeon nest on our roof which caused a bug infestation that they still haven’t resolved. I’ve also found multiple scorpions that they keep saying they can’t do anything about. These apartments are extremely old and need to be upgraded big time for the affordable price it’s still not worth it. University is also almost as bad as living on Apache. There’s always accidents or some kind of robbery or hit and run and the list goes on. Don’t live here, it looks appealing with the low price and the staff but youll regret it after a week of moving in. D

How does Cameron Creek NOT have any reviews yet?!? I’m honored to be the first. I would rate them 10 stars if I could. EXCELLENT staff, WOW we were not charged ANY fees at move out, neighbors so-​so, decent low-​priced apartments near ASU! Nice pool and jacuzzi-​thing too… and a dog park on the premises!
As apartments go, this place ROCKS. Steve is so awesome. My roommate is handicapped, a quadriplegic in a power wheelchair — from the get-​go, Steve went above and beyond to make sure the place was accessible and suited his needs (down to pouring ramps, painting up a new handicapped parking spot, lever door handles, and removing a toilet from one of the bathrooms). As long as you aren’t one of «THOSE» people, he will be more than fair with you. He really is a great guy.
Anna is very nice too. Always pleasant, will know your name. She goes out of her way to say hi, help you… will know when you have mail in the mail room.
And the Hispanic maintenance man (I’m sorry, I’ve forgotten the name — Luis? Miguel? Ahhh!) is SO nice as well. Very friendly, always put up with my cats «helping» him. Plus, he lives on the property… occasionally you’ll see him around. He’s a very nice guy and easy to talk to. Trustworthy, too — usually I worry about my valuable items around anyone I don’t know, but the thought never even crossed my mind. He’s a great, hard-​working, genuinely nice guy.
Block 1949 just next door kind of sucks, and is what you would expect out of a usual college-​oriented apartment complex. Also, yeah, you will occasionally get roaches/​bugs. When you have a few messy neighbors, it happens. It’s apartment life. Steve and Anna deal with it swiftly. Other review sites complain about this to an unrealistic point. We had some roaches and they were on it like white on rice.
Sadly, we have since moved from Cameron Creek. My grandpa passed on, and my father wanted to lease me his decent-​sized house in Scottsdale for less than we paid in rent, so it was too good to pass up… but I still miss the maintenance guy, Steve, and Anna! It’s probably time to drop by one of these times when I’m in the area.
So, I miss you guys. I hope the place is still full, as it usually is. If I ever am in the market for an apartment again, you will be my first stop!
Thank you,
Jessica
