Camden Las Olas Apartamentos

Living here was great at the beginning but since COVID everything went downhill. The worst part was when we moved out they refused to check the apartment with us before we left and a week later we received the last bill with a lot of extra charges. There are many better places to live. Don’t believe in all the good reviews. They request a good review every time they show up to do their job.

As a prior resident, I enjoyed living at the Camden! However my first day back at this location was a complete nightmare. The leasing agent gave us incorrect information regarding which elevator to use in the greeting email which is pretty alarming, since you should be familiar with the building. Went to finish last minute paperwork and the office was anything but prepared, moving is already stressful enough and their lack of organization is frustrating. Not to mention the issues in the... apartment from a mismatched appliances (the dryer doesn’t even have a handle/safety issue), the front door won’t shut completely, the stove has a huge scratch, dirty appliances and cabinets which are extremely loud when opening/closing. Paying for luxury living while receiving mediocre quality. Living in these conditions are completely unacceptable. This will be my last time living here. Lee mas

A while back I had considered moving to the Camden simply because of its locale. But, I wanted to be sure of more than just a location. So, I visited a friend who lived at Camden and I'm so glad I did. Homeless people all around the outside, the garage smells horrible, sirens can be heard all the time, garbage are downstairs is disgusting, security is non-chalant, elevators or unclean and smell. Her apartment - although decorated nicely by her, wasn't all that great for the money. The... refrigerator was small, microwave didn't work (even though she's called tons of times), the sliding glass door is off-track and grinds when you open it (another call she's made that's gone unanswered), you hear EVERYTHING - the walls are paper thin, if a dog in the next apartment craps - you can smell it, the hallway rugs are moldy-smelling...the list continues. To me, it's nothing but a high-priced college dorm in a good location. Location is all it has going for it. That's it. Management doesn't care and neither does maintenance. I don't know how they survive in their jobs. If you don't care about getting a good night's sleep then move in here and enjoy just the location. But for your hard earned money, there's other well managed properties that are just as conveniently located. For these reasons, I never moved in and my friend moved out after 6 months!! Lee mas

Walls are paper thin (hear a lot of internal noise at all hours)
A/C barely works.
Appliances barely work (maintenance has been called a LOT)
Building construction is flimsy and sub-par (built for renters)
Security is a joke.
Management is a joke.
Amenities are a joke.
With the kind of competition in Ft Lauderdale for these kinds of high rents this place is not a real contender. The closer-to-Las Olas location masks all the flaws. Going for the location was my first mistake.
No problem... pestering me about paying the rent on time yet many problems addressing my issues with noise.
HUGE "F" in customer service.
Avoid this place, it's NOT worth the location. Lee mas

With as much respect as possible, this is by far the worst place I've lived in my under 40 years..and I've lived a lot of places. I own a trained service animal of 8 years old and both live and work in my home. I will do my best to avoid ramblings and non relevant opinions. I will list all things related to the topic of Camden NOT being "the place to live and work" as it's logo suggests. My in writing expression of this is being sent to the proper persons. Every single solitary day of my... rental history with Camden Las Olas has begun with any/all or a combination of the following. Incessant, unrelenting barking by unattended dogs on multiple apt levels, any entrance or exit maneuvers around alarming amounts and smell of pet waste and urine through garage and walking areas, cheese (yes, cheese and LOTS) multiple times smeared on walkways, abundance of homeless with bags of human waste, pill bottles, blankets etc sleeping in front of our keyed entry door or near, pairs of men and womens shoes collected, broken beer bottle glass scattered over walkways, beer cases, trash, clothes, paper thin walls on the East side where daily police and ambulances run without fail day and night and back to day, the mentally ill man who you can hear screaming all night every night, the staff who has no solutions and little patience, dirty elevators, cameras that do not record or work, pets without leashes. I find this identical to an overpriced Hotel of transient business folks and disrespectful young adults with seriously bad personal and animal behaviour/hygiene choices. I have found, my conference calls, recordings etc are all filled with background noise of animals, honking horns in the tunnel, blaring sirens and inconsiderate neighbors never before had. My last point will be on behalf of animal rights. Listening to 1,2,3 or more dogs crying, barking all day, while their owners are gone is what my pet hears too. This is more than distressing on me, but doubly so knowing that my well tempered pet must listen to this as if in a pound or a prison. The area is changing as well, and not for the better. Though conveniently located, I cannot get out of my lease fast enough, or can I. Lee mas
