Update: I'm in my third year living at Camden and have still had a great experience living here. The leasing office is beyond helpful and my unit and the grounds are great! My only issue I've had have been other tenants harassing me for leaving positive reviews and speaking highly of the campus. Now, does the community have issues, of course. That is, as I stated in the last review, not exclusive to Camden alone. The staff here fight continuously to make this a great community and I'm thankful for that. Stick around long enough and this becomes a home. Ignore the negative nancys, live your own experience and give this place a shot. Plus, walking distance to great bars, restaurants and shopping??! Why not! read more

Oh where to start... Hopefully you read this review before signing the lease. I wish I had. 1. Moved in and found dead roaches painted over in the cupboards. Later I found out that there were live ones and it took 3 exterminator visits to resolve. 2. Your mailbox is not secure. I had several items stolen (one being a license plate for my brand new vehicle). 3. Half of the entrances and exits to the parking structure do not work. Then they fix them a few weeks later only for then to break again shortly after. 5. Get ready to be woken up by your neighbors burning food and it setting off the fire alarm at 1 in the morning. 6. Maintenance either seems understaffed or negligent. Or both. Simple maintenance requests get "completed" without the issue being resolved. I'll stop there I guess. I could go on but for the price - there isn't a whole lot of bang for your buck. read more

My car was broken into and window shattered, my packages have been stolen numerous times, items stolen from my property, including my bike. We've been dealing with mold and roaches, something I've never lived with before. We moved in and found most of our appliances were not working properly. Camden management is a joke and as useless as it gets. They do not care about residents. There's mold growing in the hallway, and trash all over the parking garage. The parking garage gates are constantly broken. Based on comments from our community portal there has been 18-20 car break-ins or windows smashed, 4 people mentioned property stolen, 3 cars vandalized, and 2 cars stolen in the last three months across the parking garages. Our mailboxes have been compromised, mail stolen from inside our locked mailboxes. I truly wish we never moved in here. I saw the negative reviews and I thought it wouldn't happen to me. I was very wrong. Cars get broken into and stuff gets stolen way more than what's even reported. I don't feel safe or comfortable here. Stay away from Camden Harbor View!!! read more

I lived at Camden from mid-January through November 1, 2024, and my experience was extremely upsetting and costly due to an ongoing cockroach infestation that I believe was present before I ever moved in. Within a couple of months of moving in, my daughter visited (around March) and spotted a cockroach. I immediately treated the unit myself and didn't see activity again for a while, so I hoped the issue had been resolved. Unfortunately, the infestation returned later, and it became clear this was not something caused by my living habits -- I had only been there a short time, kept a clean home, and repeatedly tried to manage the problem. The situation escalated to the point where I had to discard most of my belongings out of fear of bringing roaches with me. Despite my efforts, the problem followed me even after moving out. Six months after leaving Camden and staying with a friend, a cockroach appeared there as well. After relocating again to another apartment months later, the issue resurfaced -- showing how severe the infestation had been. This experience caused significant financial loss and emotional stress. I lost furniture, personal property, and peace of mind trying to escape a problem that should have been properly addressed at the property level. Additionally, during my residency my car was stolen at the Camden Long Beach community, adding to an already difficult living situation. I only lived there nine months, yet the impact has lasted years. No resident should have to throw away their belongings or worry about carrying an infestation from one home to another. I hope management takes stronger responsibility for pest control and resident safety so future tenants do not go through what I experienced. read more

ROACHES AND DISHONEST STAFF. (See photos below) I'm not the type to leave Yelp reviews, but this experience was beyond ridiculous. I applied for an apartment at Camden Harbor View after being shown a virtual tour because the unit I was applying for was not ready yet. Based on the location and what was shown in the tour, I applied immediately. That turned out to be a huge mistake. Everything was done online, but once I actually showed up to pick up the keys and stepped inside the apartment, I knew right away something was wrong. There were literal roaches in the sink, and there were homeless people sleeping on the property within about 20 feet of my building. I immediately went down to the leasing office. I didn't cause a scene or make a big deal I simply explained the situation and politely asked if I could cancel my application and get my deposit back. One of the employees verbally told me it would take 7-14 days to receive my $5,000 deposit back. After I left the office, I received a text message saying it would take up to 21 days, which is already a long time considering I needed those funds for another apartment. Once the 21 days passed, I received an itemized statement (no check) from Camden and them saying it could take another 4-6 weeks to receive my deposit check. This makes absolutely no sense considering I have it in writing via text message that my payment should be received within 21 days. When I sent screenshots of the text message to the office, they tried to claim that the message only referred to receiving an "itemized statement" within 21 days, which is clearly not what the text says. At this point the explanations from the staff keep changing, and it's hard not to feel like I'm being given the runaround simply because I decided not to move forward with the apartment. If you're considering applying here, I do not recommend it whatsoever. Save yourself the headache and bs. read more

the leasing office is extremely unhelpful and the property manager blatantly RUDE in all aspects. the building's elevator is always broken and cars are constantly getting broken into, save yourself and dont move here read more

The team is ridiculous. They are kind but they are incapable of understanding and working things out. They are very unprofessional and definitely not trained enough to do their work. I can tell why no issues are getting solved here because nobody knows how to do their job and all they can do is to reply some useless words that don't make sense and say that they can't figure it out. Am I supposed to figure it out hello? read more

Son's car stolen from gated parking garage (paid) within the first week of living there. Apparently this is quite common. Residents also complain of theft within their apartments but (thankfully so far) he has not personally experienced that. Hi rent, zero security. read more

PLEASE LISTEN!!! Whatever you do, don't move here and make the mistake that many before have made. 1. If you own an expensive car, do not move here. It will be stolen or broken into and security will be sleep. 2. Amazon packages will get stolen often, ring cameras will not save your package. 3. Homeless will be taking naps by your front door, they sneak into the buildings, and break into cars. Police will not do anything. 4. People smoke 24/7 and the smoke gets into the AC vents. 5. ITS A SCAM!! Don't be fooled by the "luxury living" like I did. 6. Management does not care, there are so many reports of maintenance entering homes without permission, water getting shut off all the time without notice, internet outages, on site construction etc. 7. Internet is ASS, they force you to pay for a technology package that is not reliable. If you work from home this will be a nightmare. 8. Hallways always stink, people don't clean up after themselves or their pets. Dogs will piss and poop in the elevators and walkways. 9. I can keep going but this post will be too long. I just hope this message saves someone from the Camden luxury living experience. read more

WARNING: I write this as both a warning and a call for accountability regarding The Camden Harbor View Apartments, Long Beach, CA. My experience with this property, specifically with leasing agent Sydney, was not only unprofessional but deeply unethical. Throughout the application process, I was encouraged to feel confident and secure in my approval. I was asked highly personal questions under the guise of building rapport, only to later feel that this information was used publicly inappropriately and against me as a public figure. I was relocating for a significant career advancement, with a confirmed salary and relocation package that Camden representatives explicitly stated met their qualifications. Based on repeated reassurances that "everything looks good," I proceeded in good faith. Over the course of 10 days, I was led to believe my application was progressing smoothly. During that time, Camden accepted $550 from me, with $50 labeled as non-refundable. Without warning, transparency, or professional courtesy, I received a text message at a 6:00 pm hour on my first day on the new job stating my application had been denied by a "Krista F." due to vague and unsubstantiated claims. There was no phone call. No explanation. No opportunity to clarify or respond. Attempts to reach anyone at the property were ignored. This is not just poor communication--it is a failure of basic professional standards. Even more concerning is the refund process. Holding $500 for an extended period (reportedly up to 21 days) places applicants in a financially compromised position, limiting their ability to secure alternative housing in a competitive market. For individuals relocating or navigating major life transitions, this delay is not a minor inconvenience--it is a significant and avoidable hardship. What is most troubling is the stark contrast between what was promised and what was delivered: "Seamless relocation support" -- untrue "Open and responsive communication" -- untrue "Clear and efficient approval process" -- untrue "Applicant-focused service" -- untrue As a hard-working professional, I value integrity, transparency, and accountability--principles that were entirely absent in this experience. The lack of professionalism, empathy, and ethical conduct displayed here is unacceptable. Prospective tenants should proceed with extreme caution. Do not rely on verbal assurances. Do not assume transparency. And be prepared for the possibility of delayed communication and withheld funds. Refunds are MADE AT THEIR DISCRETIONS and payable by a PAPER CHECK to the mailing address used on the initial application. NOT BY INITIAL PAYMENT METHODS. This experience was not only disappointing--it was damaging during a critical life transition. No applicant should be treated this way. read more

Don't move here. Or risk your apartment getting broken into, your car getting broken into or stolen, security not actually doing their job, maintenance workers robbing you, the leasing office not giving a shit but still increasing your rent and fees every year.

I absolutely love living at The Camden Apartments in Long Beach! From the moment I moved in, it's felt like home. The community is clean, safe, and has such a welcoming vibe. One of the best parts about living here is the amazing team--especially Sureya, the sales manager. She is such a sweet and genuine person, always going above and beyond to make sure residents are happy and taken care of. I just renewed my lease and couldn't be more excited to spend another year here. I'm looking forward to making even more great memories in this beautiful community. Highly recommend The Camden to anyone looking for a great place to live in Long Beach! And although I understand that this might not be the reality for other residents, but this is my true reality it's honestly something that you have to come try out for yourself read more

Camden put $200 on my credit even though I disputed it and we cleaned up extensively. Called the office and requested it to be taken off even though we had to move out of 8th floor of 6th building due to EXTENSIVE MOLD because of FAULTY CONSTUCTION AND BAD PIPE UNIONS THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING. We had heaters running up OUR already high electricity bill, couldn't use our bathroom for months, had mold spores on some of clothing in the corners of the closet so we had to wash or dry clean all of them, had to throw out one of our room jacket cabinets due to not being able to bleach the back of it from a sickly yellow, and various other changes of life because of this nonsense. All Camden recommended was using your Renters insurance to find a hotel while they cleaned up. What a help that was when it happened in the bedroom one time, then the bathroom pipes exploded having a river running into the closet and then the other bedroom's closet had mold on three different occasions. The next door neighbors already had their leaking problems for months and we had to walk over plastic every time we came home. That is on top of our car being broken twice, homeless people yelling at all times of the night, and some homeless dude smearing ACTUAL FECES CROSSES ON THE FRONT DOORS OF THE APARTMENT. Granted these are not Camden's fault, but thank God I don't have to deal with that garbage at the place I live now ... and it is cheaper and in a better place. On top of all of that, elevators were inoperable at indiscriminate times (at one time BOTH were down in the building and people had to walk up a 9 story building's stairs), my Amazon packages had been stolen so many times I stopped having them delivered there, the internet was trash and was down more than the elevators but there is a MANDATORY tech fee of $100 a month, regardless if it up or not, and the parking garage had times there were people who did not even pay the $100 / month parking taking up the spaces for days without getting towed. I let the whole mold litigation go since my 3 year old daughter has all of the lesions on her chest cleared up since moving away early until they decided to stick this on my credit even though they never mailed disposition on my dispute. I could've paid the $200 straight out, but it's the principle behind the whole matter. I've paid $3500+ for an apartment for years dealing with all this garbage and they have the nerve to try to sneak something erroneous on my credit without even sending me correspondence when I try to go through the proper channels. Maintenance guys and the fact that the apartment overlooked Long Beach were the only reason for one star. Better Business Bureau will hear about this as well. read more

RUN FAR AWAY. Our experience at this hellhole over the past 17 months has been a COMPLETE NIGHTMARE. The staff here are cold, and could care less about the residents! If you care about your family's safety, seriously reconsider moving here and destroying your peace of mind and overall quality of life. Here is our story: On May 1, our car was broken into for the first time in our lives. Despite paying $100 a month for parking, there are no working cameras or proper security measures. And it happened again within the same month! We did everything right - parked under a light, no valuables left inside, car locked - yet it still happened. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Here's a rundown of the issues we've faced: - Washing machine completely flooded out into our kitchen floor, leaving a 2 inch pool of water - Refrigerator and microwave needing replacement - AC unit failure - Brown gunk in the shower and bath - Ants, roaches, and RATS in the walls!! - Fire alarms going off in the middle of the night (at one point several days in a row... like clockwork) - Loud generator noises - Constant barking dogs from inconsiderate neighbors - Packages stolen. Complex refuses to install parcel lockers. To top it all off, our apartment was BROKEN INTO BY CRIMINALS WHEN WE WERE HOME, on the day we were set to move out! Yes, you read that correctly. We lost a work computer, work phone, social security cards, cash, and more! Thank God my cat didn't get out. The emotional and psychological trauma of this invasion is indescribable, and do you think we heard from ANYONE at Camden, even after we told them about it? You guessed it! We received not an ounce of concern or guidance from the office. The complex is COMPLETELY unsafe and even compromised at this point. The criminals that broke in stole our fobs, so everyone currently living here is at risk. And this is why we feel compelled to let you know. There are rowdy kids and transients all over the property and garage. This place is a far cry from "luxury," and the management does not care to make any significant changes to address the rampant issues. The high turnover of staff and the constant need to follow up just to get a response is exhausting. We made the mistake of renewing our lease in April, but we couldn't bear another 17 months here. We broke our lease and finally moved out because it's too unhealthy and stressful to live here! For those considering this place, please sort and read the newest negative reviews and BELIEVE them!!! So glad to be gone from this place! This is not a way to live. Do better, Camden!!! To Camden: let me save you the response. You will first thank me for sharing my experience, and then you will provide your contact if I have any "questions", and finally will proceed on your merrily way with no changes made whatsoever. Such a joke. read more

8/30/24*** Way overdue but after finally moving out I just really want to warn anyone to think twice about moving here! This place is just awful and will make your life miserable. They let maintenance come in without the 24 hour notice and now they have this creep maintenance guy that has been arrested for filming people and this guy came into my apartment while I was in the shower!!!. They have rodent issues, so much crime going on and just so many issues that Camden ignores. Updating again just so people are aware of what they are getting into!!! 2/16/24 and still no repairs done in my apartment! I see someone recently asked the office and about the girl with no roof and they told them they have 24/7 maintenance but believe me it is all a joke at this apartment complex! The "fire pit lounge" has been removed months ago, you are forced to pay for cable and internet that barely works and now we have many tenants complaining of roaches and rates! Beware!!! Updated 1/9/24. I have now lived with my apartment "under construction" for over 6 weeks! Very little/poor communication on what's going on. Rent is way too expensive here to have to live like this and not given any support or retributions from Camden because they say the water leak was not their fault! It wasn't mine either and yet I'm the one with no walls! Getting anything fixed is a joke. Took 3 months to get my dishwasher fixed and people telling me someone was coming to look when they never showed or reporting that someone came and "figured out what was wrong with it" without anyone actually showing up to look. Would open a service request just to have it closed or no response for weeks. read more

If I could give this place no stars I would. We stayed for 10 days before we decided we had to get out. To sum up: not at all a safe place, cars getting broken into and vandalized on a nightly basis. The day we moved in cars were broken into. There are homeless people in the complex and youth delinquents damaging the property, sleeping at the pool, climbing to the roof and setting off fireworks. When you move in you are giving access to the resident portal and that's when we realized what was going on. What they show you on the tour is a complete lie. The unit was not at all cleaned when we moved in: acrylic nails on the carpet by two windows, skirting board damaged, blinds missing, patio door which did not lock. If you want to lose sleep over fear for your safety this is the perfect place for you! Pro: Sarah in the leasing office is very kind and informed us of the 30 day satisfaction guarantee which allowed us to move 10 days after moving in. read more

BE AWARE!!!!! $500 refundable deposit is NOT REFUNDABLE! I want to know who got their DEPOSIT BACK????? NOBODY I BET!!! We moved out 7/20/25 and just got their final statement saying not only they took all my deposit but also, we owe them money. We moved out way better condition than how it was when we moved in a year ago. I moved several places, and I've always got my deposit back because I clean spotless BUT CAMDEN!! If I don't get my deposit back who will? My boyfriend knew they will be that way, so he took so many pictures when we moved out. Anyway, if you had a same experience as me, share with me. https://www.reddit.com/r/complainaboutanything/comments/1mk9diy/camden_harbor_view_complains/ ALSO, this place is unsafe, unsanitary (You will see mouse traps everywhere). we were paying $200 parking fees every month for 2 cars, but both my cars got break-in within 3 months. Security camera was right in front of my car, but they said camera was facing the other way and didn't share with us. I complained to Camden, they shrug their shoulder and their answer was "this is Long Beach, what do you expect?" I couldn't believe it. We constantly asked to secure the property, but no improvement. So many times, we had to take actions to chase homeless guys trying to break-in. Nobody takes us seriously, we had only frustrating experience with them one after another. It was nightmares living there. If you are considering signing, RUN! read more

Please look elsewhere if you want a safe and maintained property. I don't recommend these apartments to anyone. Apartment wasn't cleaned or fixed for our move in date. We were flooded during the heavy rains and had construction for months. Constant garage break ins, leaking/rusty pipes that spew debris into your sink, leaky/rusty pipes in the garage that damage cars, unavailable amenities, unsafe grounds with break ins happening within apartments, dog waste everywhere...and the office never picks up their phone. Someone really needs to look into the security and safety of this property. Camden, no need to respond with your templated message because I really don't care to read it. Fix the issues, get better security, and be available for your tenants. read more

DO NOT MOVE HERE!! We were so excited to move here. Little did we know what a nightmare it actually is. The management is absolutely terrible. Do not expect them to hear you, make any changes or care about your safety or security. Things are constantly broken. Our trash chute has been out of order for 2 months. The smell is nauseating. If you open a maintenance request for a common area, expect it will be closed immediately with no action. The filter in the water dispenser in the hub has been red since I moved in 3 months ago. TVs in the common areas constantly do not work. They can't even spend a little money on properly heating or cleaning the pools. It's all about profit here. Maintenance may come by to work on something in your apartment so they can close the ticket, but don't expect the issue will actually be fixed. Our dryer still doesn't work properly, toilet paper rolls fall off the slanted toilet paper holders and doors have to be slammed closed as the doors still haven't been properly fixed. MOST OF ALL - WE ARE NOT SAFE HERE. And Camden couldn't care less. We complained constantly about kids breaking into the pools. These aren't just kids trying to have a good time. They harass, threaten and assault us. They are criminals in the making and the police don't want to deal with them either. We've witnessed them attacking our neighbors after our own encounter with them, and the stories just get worse. Now people are breaking into apartments, the bike storage, etc. Someone smashed the window to the store downstairs yesterday. Cars are stolen and broken into daily. Residents constantly talk about carrying their own guns now as everyone knows nothing will be done aside from their own actions. The office has template responses to everything - "oh we tried" "oh it's just a part of living downtown" "oh we improved this or that but unfortunately we have no control". WORST "management" I've ever experienced. I lived a mile from here for 5 years before this. Not in a luxury building, but had peace of mind feeling secure and protected there. I regret leaving. These are not normal issues we experience here, though Camden wants you to think they are. There were arson fires here so they finally "hired 24/7 security". What a joke. The guy looks for a place he can chill and do nothing or is across the street playing basketball while he's supposed to be protecting us. There is no real security here. We need armed security at each pool entrance and at least two security guards patrolling the garage who are ready to actually do something if they see an issue! I can't believe what we got out of our first "luxury apartment". I'm so sad that instead of enjoying what could be nice amenities, I now answer my door and walk my community with mace and a knife because I can only try to protect myself at this point. Do not insult me with a reply, Camden. Just listen and improve - we NEED you to do better. No one believes your words at this point. Actions are what we need. read more

I was ready to move into the Camdens today and the conditions were unacceptable and unlivable when I walked into this building. The office was closed. I have documentation of a broken door, roaches, dirty carpet in the hallway.  Furniture and trash in the hallway. Graffiti that is maybe gang affiliated. I was going to move in with my elderly mother and we were frightened when two men got into a heated argument that looked as if was going to end up in violence outside of what was going to be our apartment unit.  I will speak with management on Monday. My furniture is currently in a rented U-Haul.  This situation is costly. This experience is causing me anxiety; the standards should be higher for the amount of money it cost to rent here.  Safety should be the number one concern.  I cannot put myself at risk by moving into this building. I wouldn't even give this place one star. read more

After living here for 6 months, I know I will not be renewing my lease. Despite having access to a covered garage, our car was stolen given Camden corporate's inability to address issues in a timely matter. They only have leasing specialists and sales managers on staff at the Harbor View apartments-- this means that there is no property manager despite thousands of units. The door to the garage is broken, allowing our car to be stolen. As we work from home, we don't have theft coverage and now have a gutted car we still have to make payments on that we need to fix out of pocket. I will not be renewing my lease here and I recommend looking elsewhere if you can afford it. There are many luxury apartments in the area with similar amenities, and although the sales staff here tries their best, they are not equipped to deal with the very real issues of downtown living. I know the on-site team is trying their best. But the negligence from Camden corporate is shocking when it comes to resident safety. read more

Camden Harbor View Apartments - Car break in - Apartments Near Me - Long Beach, California

Literally run from this place. They took advantage so hard of a situation. I was last-minute trying to find an apartment after being unsuccessful for almost a month. I thought I found my dream home however I didn't. I put down a $500 refundable deposit is what it said on the ledger I didn't even do a tour with a person. I did a virtual and during this tour, the hallways smell like utter garbage and dog pee. The unit was fine. It was still a little dirty and looked like it needed to clean. However, everything else was OK. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to cancel the lease only a few days after putting my deposit down. I never signed a lease or anything. Then I kept calling and getting the operator and nobody at the front would answer. When someone finally called me back, they were upset that I was canceling due to certain situation in my personal life. They refuse to refund me my $500 deposit and so cold and rude about the whole thing. I am so glad I didn't move in there because the staff is rude and horrible and the entire place smelled horribly.I am currently seeking legal advice because of this. Stay away there are better apartments than this. read more

I don't like writing reviews but I hate the feeling of being worked over even more. When we moved in, we did not make a big deal when the front door lock was broken, the screens had rips in them, the dishwashing machine was broken and the hot water heater was also broken. We gave them the benefit of the doubt and they replaced and fixed everything, which was stressful on move-in day waiting until 10pm for it to be resolved. They gave us a small credit which was nice and we thought moving forward there would be fewer obstacles. However, it seems there is just something fundamentally wrong with the management of this property and the lack of true caring for its tenants. Here are some examples for you to review before moving in. I am also selfishly writing this so maybe they start giving some proper attention. You might ask why 2 stars and not 1, well the location is fantastic, walkability is great and the buildings look very nice. 1. We have seen cars with windows smashed in (lack of any cameras to help them file a claim essentially they are on their own). No accountability a theme you might recognize throughout the rest of this review. 2. Packages are constantly stolen, no accountability, not sure why they do not just require all package delivery be sent to the front office and keep them all locked in a room. Rather than letting Amazon/Fedex/UPS/USPS drop stuff on the floor in the mail rooms that are not well protected, direct them to the office. 3. Water takes forever to heat up and runs out quickly. 4. Community wifi goes down constantly making a WFH life stressful (Camden says to just call spectrum and takes no responsibility, and then you have to play middle man sometimes talking to spectrum and pass information to Camden to have them request a bigger repair). *Required to have this and pay for it. 5. No warnings for expected loud noises. There were construction repairs on the main hallway attached to our walls (no heads up, ruined a few of my important work calls, and no apology for their surprised loudness. This went on for two weeks. Again could have just sent an email or flyer warning us but nothing) 6. Lack of care when it comes to complaints. There is an alarm that goes off whenever someone in the building does not have batteries in their smoke detector, this is a loud annoying alarm that reverberates through my apartment due to proximity. They do not resolve this, it goes on all day until we get out of our unit go to the specific hallway and press a button. We were told not to press the button and call, which results in no action on their part. I am writing this with over 2.5 hours of it still ringing in my ears. 7. Minimal effort repairs - Dishwashing machine we let them know the soap door was broken and needed a new spring. They removed the spring and jammed the door back in. "Fixed" but actually it will not release any soap so we have to time when we can put soap in and wait until the first rinse cycle has completed, partially open the door, and put in the proper dishwashing soap. read more

You think you'd be safe in the garage, but you'd be mistaken. Everyday you walk off the elevators and there puddles of piss nearby waiting to greet you with its stench. Second, safety...there is none. Cars are literally getting broken into and stolen every night and you have a group of teenagers wreaking havoc. There is absolutely no security in the garage, and the Camden owner will probably say something like, "Unfortunately we cannot prevent some situations that do occur in a metropolitan area." Here's the thing, each parking spot costs $100 and there are 9 buildings with 9 floors. (81 total floors). Let's say there are 15 apartments on each floor and each person has one car. Thats $121,500 each month, which is $1,458,000 a year on parking fees. Where does that money go? Telling me you can't put some cameras in the damn garage when you're making 1.5 million a year on parking? Third, the state of our apartment. I'm sure the person who previously resided in your our apartment was charged a cleaning fee. Well, they should be refunded. There were nail clippings and hairballs along the sides of the wall, our patio door did not lock, and the screen door on the patio was torn and held together by tape. Not sure what kind of "luxury apartments" these are, but usually luxury apartments are clean when you move in. All in all, terrible experience and would not recommend this place to my sworn enemy. read more

The apartments are nice, however management is abysmal. Packages are constantly stolen. I moved in a year and a half ago, and many residents (including myself) have been complaining constantly about this. Absolutely nothing has been done, but plenty of empty promises have been made! We've even offered solutions, yet none of us are listened to. The building numbers are not clearly visible, so many delivery drivers get lost. If an emergent issue were to arise, emergency vehicles (ambulance, police) are likely to encounter this same issue. Has Camden done anything about it? HA, absolutely not. It also reeks of urine outside wherever you go, which seems fitting at this point. This is definitely a "first world problem", but certain equipment at the gym has been out of commission for 8 months now, and Camden makes excuses after excuses that assure us nothing will get fixed. Their primary excuse? "We called the company to come fix it and they've been very busy." For eight months? Laughable. You get what you pay for here. The apartments are cheaper than most in this area, and there is a reason for that. read more

DO NOT MOVE HERE. My car was stolen from here not even a week after moving in, constant break ins, theft, packages stolen, currently dealing with ANTS AND ROACHES. This isn't the first time this has happened here. Homeless are constantly on property, stay FAR away. The garages have NO CAMERAS! So there's nothing to be done about that. Might I add, while the officer was taking the report for my stolen vehicle, he had to stop my report in the middle of taking it due to an active burglary on a first floor unit. read more

You don't want to live here. Break-ins, extremely slow maintenance. Cannot express how bad it is.

Omg. This place is circus hell. Work van parked next to me got windows busted and all work items were stolen. Neighbor still complain about rats in her ceiling for a month now, but no help. Crazy lady ran by me and almost knocked my kid over to chase a security guard that towed her car. She was parked 15min only in 20min zone at her building. Graffiti in the stairwells by the Pike and on the elevator doors. Amazon boxes ripped open and things thrown in the bushes. Dirty water coming out of kitchen drains for days. read more

See all

Found this really nice shop inside Camden harbor work/ live Loft in LongBeach called Nina B trap hair Salon. Classy and it's really a vibe here the lady Nina was doing my hair tonight and she ran out because she heard the thumps and noises coming from rats in her walls and/or ceiling ... I COULD not believe it .. Loud as hell sounds like Bigfoot in the walls . Crazy ... she said she told management about it . And yet and still nothing really has been done. So sad she mentioned she moving soon . Management or leasing should do something about it but I had to post .. see video read more

If you choose to rent an apartment here, please keep in mind doors and windows in 1st floor apartments should me locked as vagrants can easily gain access to your apartments. read more

Do not move here. I understand that there are challenges to living downtown but this is beyond anything I have ever encountered at any other apartment ever. Cars being set on fire, break ins, unhoused people sleeping on premises despite it being a "secured" complex, car theft, motorcycle theft, storage units being broken in to, the CONSTANT mail and package theft. When I moved in OVER TWO YEARS AGO, there was talks about installing Amazon lockers. Never happened. Probably 90% of the time, cameras do not work. Ocean blvd in front of these buildings REEKS of dog potty. Constant fire alarms. Residents being physically assaulted at the pool, in the garage, just in the courtyard. This place has gone so downhill in two months and still brands itself as "luxury " please save your money. read more

Crime, pests, delinquent, unhoused people, and poor management. They don't answer any calls or emails. They don't even address concerns in person. Don't move here unless you want these problems. read more
