NOT CAMDEN… stay away from these properties

Camden Main & Jamboree, in Irvine, CA. The absolute worst and most upsetting place I have ever experienced renting from. They view you as a profit to be made. So many disturbing and inappropriate things take place here. If you read all of the comments, you will hear similar complaints about health & safety concerns/issues/violations, corporate greed, and repeatedly how this company attempts to take advantage of and extort it’s tenants. The management is extremely dismissive of important issues that affect our health and safety. The air quality is the very bad, dust settles daily from the vents, even if the filter is replaced. I have to vacuum daily and the same dusty white residue fills the air and my vacuum bag almost immediately. The fire alarms go off falsely all hours of the day and night repeatedly. This morning it went off at 6am. Sometimes the alarm goes off throughout the entire property for extremely long durations of time, sometimes 11pm at night and even at 4am. The entire facility is covered in feces and urine, right outside the doors and all over the parking structure. People actually walk their dogs to the parking structure to have them secrete their wastes there everyday. I have never lived in a place so ghetto and unsanitary, nor have I ever paid so much for such bad and inappropriate living conditions. I’ve never paid this much rent ever, and they will always increase your rent any opportunity that they can, so just be prepared for it to always increase exponentially every year-even if the quality is very poor. I’ve never written a review for a place I lived in that was bad or negative, but I felt the sincere need to warn people. I wish I had done further research. It seems so wonderful in the beginning and once you sign it’s all downhill and over and you will be charged a lot of unnecessary money any opportunity they have to charge you.

this place is terrible! dog stool/poop and trash everywhere, nothing works, the management team Mark in particular is incompetent.

They added extra fines to my final bill and when attempting to contact them I was only given a phone number that went straight to voicemail, no call back. They send you to collections if you don't pay and they don't talk to you about the final bill.

Per our conversation yesterday. It seems that you all are not aware of the full situation with HouseWake and my situation. This has been an on going problem with the company Camden Properties. It is hard for me to believe that only one person in the whole entire company. Shaun Lambert can read, account, audit and do basic math. Until he step in this situation was an entire mess. To the point me and my family were harassed and bullied out of our home. Even with contracts in place with a government agency. Shaun stepped in an followed up made calls. Stop by HouseWake to attempt to get this situation resolved. Now that he is on vacation. It is hard for me to believe that the remainder of the company. Including billing doesn’t have basic accounting skills. A ledger was sent to me yesterday without anyone even attempting to look at it. Or do their job. As of 11am 6/23/2022. Someone needs to go through the ledger well. To get the number correct. I spoke with Shaun several times prior to his vacation to get the refund amount. Which has provided and 250.00 is completely off. I moved out 04/08/2022. And the fact that this one person has to run 3 to 4 properties. And can still keep it together to get this resolved. I should not have to wait months for one person to fix this problem. In a entire million dollar company. My family has been retaliated against, bullied, medical right have been violated and etc. . By the employees and corporate employees with Camden Properties. Today is my very last attempt to try to resolve this matter. All party have access to all government contacts and any documentation on this matter. Reading is fundamental let’s try to do some. Without Shaun being the only one that can handle this matter. This company is a disgrace, most certainly over charges for cheaply made properties and TERRIBLE SERVICE! Disrespectful office staff. Corporate doesn’t think the employees should be terminated for violating Federal HIPPA laws. And continue to let them represent the company. Some needs to call me by 11am 6/23/2022. Let’s try to do some real work today on this situation. This well also be my yelp and google review!

I moved to this community may be approx 1.5 years back. Everything was good initially. Renewal time and i get the shock. 17% increase in rent. Technology package rate increased and it is mandatory. Not optional. Now comes the worst. They want to charge me for the community and amenities maintenance. When question, the answer was to point their buidlings so that the community can look better. Seriously?? You want to charge me for your community maintenance? I think i am paying the rent already and you charge that huge rent by advertising all the amenities.

Camden has lost its 5 star rating and they have a lot to do to get this back This review is detailed and YES i have a choice to move and yes i have now left, but this is not is my way of being constructive and honest to help anyone looking to move to Camden Legacy and understand what its like now after 6 years of living here with past EPIC and amazing teams and managers Lets begin ; When I first moved here 6 years ago Camden Legacy was a vibrant fun place to live, the office team were amazing - the special "residents appreciation days" were so much fun, even doggy days was held, pool BBQ by the epic boys and more. The Boys The maintenance crew to date are the best ever and do Camden Proud, especially Jeff, Jake and Adam at the time. It's these guys that keep the place held together like glue, they truly care for you, no job is to small and always with a smile : these are the "real" representatives of Camden and you will love them all for sure.....not the office BUT they have all left since the new manager arrived - makes you think - 4 in less than 3 months plus 1 member of staff, now thats 5 star management Managers Past managers knew what it meant to cater for the residents needs - if you get a chance visit the other complexes first and meet Trace at Monterrey, Allison at San Palermo, Robbie at Camden Sotello who are simply EPIC when it comes to "caring for the community" - see the difference it's outstanding Since COVID hit everything has changed, no vibrancy in the community, no more care for residents (only when you sign the lease), constant complaints and even Scottsdale police have to visit the complex almost nightly - in a 3 month period there were domestic violence calls made, noise complaints and excessive constant loud dog barking, cars smashed burglary, home burglary, pool areas smashed glass and furniture trashed to name but a few NOW - the high charges over 35% increase for the full upgrade ? Be sure to ask to view every aspect of your apt. The upgrades are NOT fully done, check the cupboards in the kitchen, the bath and shower areas and take pictures. It's well known that the upgrades are very poorly done compared to other complexes around Scottsdale who are literally replacing everything. This is NOT a full upgrade, Camden Legacy did not have enough funds to complete a full and 5 star fitting upgrade but they are still happy to charge you more than other quality complexes around Scottsdale who actually did full upgrades. this place has turned into a 1 star complex in less than a year by the new manager and the lack of care for the community and their safety - question is why are so many people leaving from residents to staff ? you 100% do not get what you used to get from Camden Legacy - so be warned if you go on one of their sugar coated tours The gym is a hot bed for virus spreading The grounds are not kept well The chirp access app is a joke gated community only when the gates work the list is endless but you can see from past reviews that while you sit and read just remember that this is meant to be the "Camden Experience" 5 star luxury living that puts them above the rest - just remember that Sorry to see you leave Trace and Tarah

Lost our jobs at Disney during covid. We were threatened into renewing our lease by Andre (who is a scam artist). We always paid rent early, but after having to leave during the covid housing stay we offered a month and a half of rent to break the lease to corporate in a cashiers check. They declined it and turned us into a collection agency. We vacated two months early and left the place spotless and have pictures to prove this. So we left the place early,, no eviction, cleaned it, and offered half the difference of the total remaining during a housing stay.. This happened when they were "helping" people behind on rent. We had a neighbor below us who nearly beat our door in and we have pictures of this, but they didn't move us or them. Worst company ever. Never rent here unless you enjoy criminals opening your wallet like the Mafia and performing extortion on you. They also lowered their Disney discount over our stay. Greedy, terrible, terrible, stinky landlords.
