Camden Harbor View Apartments

Camden properties have really went too far. Please see the pictures and ask yourself is that move in condition? This is what they expected my 20 year old son, and his first experience being on his own to live in. . This is what $4000 a month will get you at Camden Harbor View in Long Beach, California. Not only did they let him sign a lease, knowing that the property was absolutely filthy and uninhabitable, the rotten people working at the desk for the property management on the weekend took defense real quick and were real short with me when I was trying to explain and show them their property in depth with a few pictures I took. Then just one short day to cash the check so I wouldn’t get it back to put towards another place. Not to mention the U-Haul was two days at a minimum over to due to their and two nights at a hotel because I wasn’t about to put my property in that infestation pests cockroaches and whatever else was there unknown. I can’t imagine if the corporate even cares the upper management of Camden need to figure that has some type of Dignity and respect to make this, right and immediately give my son back his deposit The entire deposit do you want to take two days off? Prorating him back what’s left of the deposit? Can you believe this everybody knows Even a child knows that place is extremely filthy. Now I understand that it’s probably a few bad people or maybe just one bag person there who knows and Camden truly doesn’t want their properties rented out like that especially on the first day of possession when it’s not even in movable or living condition however that’s why I’m reaching out here. Giving them an opportunity to have the review removed an opportunity for them to make up for the hotel stay to take the two days off I what they charge my son and pay for his U-Haul. That was two days over. Know if this company was any decent, they would go ahead. And make it right. So we will give them an opportunity to do so. However, if I don’t Tuesday that’s three days then they can expect a small claims lawsuit at the local Courthouse here and trust me with the judge sees those pictures and the lack of care, and the lack of responsibility, knowing that it’s their fault and there’s no doubt about it He’s gonna lay down the law in my son’s favorite and probably for 3 to 7 times the that were requesting. This is an edit. Apparently my son was told by the management team that was there on Friday. That’s the day he took possession of the uninhabitable garden, do you know the third world country apartment, he was told that there would be a exterminator there at 9 AM and told him to to vacate the property, and had him sign something saying that he was OK with exterminator to make it, or give it a chance anyways, to make it right, however, they never showed up so not only did they deliver the absolute worst possible service in a total useless apartment, but they also lied on top of it to compound the horrific reality of being a total failure. And speaking of reality, I don’t think I’ve ever taken a quicker deuce in my life then I did at that apartment.. I got off the toilet and in record time. My son is pretty shy, but I’m not, so I thought it might be a good idea and two add a few of the neighbors if they had any unwanted visitors in the form of a pest or insect(s) one of the new neighbors that just moved in as my son did, had said no. I believe her however, she was only there for two hours, but I did ask everyone I came in contact with between The Apartments and the parking garage and they all said yes, there is an infestation. One of them suggested to take refuge in building number two as my son was in building number five and no sooner than that was said the manager approached my wife and son, and made that very same suggestion. I guess the reasoning is with their mentality the closer to the leasing office the better condition the building will be in since the leasing agent Hass to give tours to new prospects, seeking to lease or become future resident(s).lazy people.

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.

Camden is a fully loaded apartment complex. Gym, pool, rec room with a shuffle board and pool table etc. We had the pleasure of working with Tim Carter who guided us through the whole renting process and answered questions we had honestly. The whole staff there is helpful and always happy to help. Despite some of the recent issues that are beyond the staff’s control, we felt heard when any issues arose and the staff was on it to make it a comfortable place to live.

Absolutely no security! Cars and motorcycles stolen all the time, there are no cameras in the garage except for the entrance only. Homeless people sleep all over the property. Constant break-ins! Over priced and not worth the dangers that come from living here. The leasing office and the manager are not responsive to the concerns of their tenants.

The amenities are wonderful BUT we have had a package stolen day 2 of moving in, and also the carpet has fleas guessing the person who lived there before had a dog or cat. Also our neighbors smoke cigarettes so we can’t leave our windows open for fresh air. (Non smoking community) the matinence person who came to fix our toilet scratched the inside of it up really bad the white is gone so it’s just this rusty brown color which looks like a permanent poop mark in the toilet.
