Camden Legacy Apartments

"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 Avoid this place like the plague it is disgusting inside and out"

"The staff is great and super friendly. Huge shout out to Benny, Abbey, and Victoria for making this a smooth transition!"

"My boyfriend and I recently went for a tour and were helped out by Kes in the main office. She was so accommodating and showed us a few different floor plan options that aligned with what we were looking for. We loved the look of the community and the apartments we were shown! If you are lucky enough to get Kes to help you, I would definitely recommend having her show you around!!"

"I have been living at Camden Legacy for almost 2 years now and still absolutely love it here. It is the most pleasant place I have lived. The environment feels like a cozy family, friendly community. The property is Absolutely Beautiful. Very clean and maintained. The office staff is superb and very professional. I can’t speak enough on how welcoming and kind Victoria has always been. I remember when I first toured Camden Legacy, Victoria was very professional and pointed out amazing details in the apartment I was most interested in all the way down to the set up and arrangement of furniture. I was so impressed and knew this was the place for me. Fast forward now living here for almost 2 years Victoria is still the sweetest and always goes above and beyond. She never misses a beat. I can appreciate living in a place where I know there is office staff that truly cares about their residents. Also Dawn the Property Manager is absolutely phenomenal. She is wonderful not only to me but all her residents. I have witnessed this myself. Dawn makes sure the property is running smoothly and does it with such grace. There is also another office staff member I want to point out who has always been the absolute sweetest - and that would be Abbey. I can’t express what a beautiful ray of light she is. When I see Abbey she has always gone out of her way to make sure everything is going well with myself and my apartment. And last but not least I am so very appreciative of our hard working Maintenance Staff!! Nate, Nakita, Luke and Misam are the best team. All of them are on top of their job and do it with a smile. I truly appreciate them all and their hard work. I have to brag about where I live because it really is a great place to live. I have never felt more at home and safe. Thank you for all you guys do! If you are looking for a place to call home this is the place. You will love it trust me all 4 of my adult Children live at Camden in their own apartments and if that doesn’t say enough then I don’t know what will."

"DO NOT be fooled by the nice looking apartments and friendly office staff, living here is a nightmare. No matter how much you inquire or complain, things never change. There is constantly dogs off lease, dog poop around, and over flowing trash at the dumpsters and peoples front doors. Having reserved parking is basically useless as residents and guests will park in your spot, as well as in the fire lanes. Guest parking is filled with resident vehicles that never move. There is a noise policy that is often not followed by rude neighbors. The community is “smoke free” but you can constantly smell marijuana. You can opt for trash pickup services but often they do not pick up it, this is an additional cost that they will not refund. The pools are always closed because they won’t hire real pool cleaners. It’s impossible to keep the unit cool during the summer, they will not send an AC company but tell you to close your vents to cool down other rooms. This place is money hungry and that is their priority over residents. The rent is extremely over priced for the poor quality of living. Avoid the frustration and save your money. Live anywhere but a Camden property. Oh, and now they let residents Airbnb their apartments, which will only cause more chaos and disruption. Don’t expect any deposit refunds at move out, they will charge you absurd fees to keep your money."
