Camden Farmers Market Apartamentos

The best thing about CFM is the location. Security is a joke. 1 security officer for the entire complex who sits around on their phone. Cars are being broken into, it seems nightly. About half the community doesn't care about each other. By that I mean people do not clean up after their pets, people are in the pools to early hours in the AM being loud and obnoxious, and there is trash everywhere. I can't tell if management is doing the best with what they have or if they really don't care.... Either way with all the other complexes going up in the area there are way better options. Lee mas

on Feb 24, 2021, I had a major plumbing issue that sort of sprung up out of nowhere. I tried to fix the issue on my own, but was unable too. Fortunately, it was during the day and I was able to call Amber, who reassured me that things would get taken care of, while also helping to calm me down, as I was in quite a state of alarm regarding the issue. She out a call out to maintenance and within hardly any time at all, I jad a knock at my door. It was Rene, with plumbing tools in hand ready to... help me out. Now, I had made such a mess at trying to fix things without the proper tools, that I wasn't in a state of mind to allow Rene to just do hos job. I said that I could do it if he just gave me the tools. But he was very professional, as it was clear that I was in a state of storts about the whole issue. He was light hearted, kind, incredibly professional, quick, effective, efficient, tidy, gracious, and once again, incredibly professional from the time he entered my home, until the time he left. He did nothing to add to my anxiety from having already tried my hand at fixing the plumbing issue, he just did his job, and was so kind and professional--I felt like had it been anyone else, things could have gone differently. I really don't know how to convey his level or both professionalism and pose and emotional awarness, which was not at all required of him by any means. To say Rene "went above and beyond" would be to undermine his work ethic, kindness, compassion and professionalism. The same goes for Amber, as they both really took care of me as though I were family. Things were handled perfectly, on both their parts, in every aspect, and I'm really grateful and appreciated. Thank you Rene. Thank you Amber. --Camden Farmers Market resident building 23. Lee mas

Seriously, you do not want to live here. Yes, it's nice and cheap, but you will sacrifice your sanity and safety when you move in.

Security is a joke. Dozens of packages are stolen every week. Since management closed the mail room permanently, there is no way to securly receive packages without renting a PO box or driving to a UPS/FedEx store.... Despite months of pleas from residents, Camden has done nothing to rectify the situation like install parcel lockers. Camden's regional office said this property is too large to hire sufficient security, install cameras, or handle every package for all residents. Essentially, this complex is too large for Camden to effectively manage.

There have been multiple shootings since we moved in a year ago. The police respond at least once a day to someone trespassing or breaking into vehicles. If you move in here, prepare to have your car window smashed at least once.

Management is unresponsive and stonewalls residents. They are often difficult to reach and blame problems on third-party vendors. We constantly get canned responses of "thanks for your patients" and "we're working on a solution," but nothing ever changes and rarely gets fixed. Just save yourself the trouble and look for another apartment. Lee mas

Safety and security are the biggest concern here. Yes, its in the middle of a major city but the building management does very little to address the safety and security of its residents and the property. Documented incidents of gun violence (by non residents) are swept under the rug with nothing done to increase security. Worst of all pedestrian and vehicle gates are often not working properly and remain in disrepair for weeks on end despite resident complaints, stolen property and encounters... with trespassers all using broken gates to gain access. Great price, great residents, great pools and fitness centers but all come at the cost of your safety. Lee mas

The only reason I am giving it a 2 and not a 1 is because the units themselves are great. Very spacious, pretty up to date, and for the most part pretty well taken care of. However. Management is horrible and people who live in the community can be very inconsiderate. 1.) there are a lot of dogs here. People do not pick up after their pets and as a pet owner myself, it’s infuriating that I step in another dogs waste due to their humans inability to pick it up. 2.) some people do not care that... they live in a shared space. There are people in my building specifically who are constantly bringing people in, screaming through the halls at all hours and leaving trash everywhere. 3.) management doesn’t really care about a solution to any issue. They will tell you, “please let us know immediately so we can help” or they will completely and blindly ignore issues or incidents that have happened within the community altogether. There have been so many incidents that have put residents in danger and not to mention the ridiculous amount of package theft and we are constantly being told that “you live in the city” yet they refuse to ensure our safety by making sure gates are working properly. I would like to say, however, the maintenance crew here is phenomenal. They are quick, very communicative, they work their butts off, and they are all super nice. There are way better apartment options in the area that are safer but also who respect and genuinely listen to their residents. Choose somewhere else, trust me. Lee mas
