Camden Fairfax Corner

I just moved in yesterday but I wanted to give a big shoutout to Kester and Charlotte in the leasing office! I had a quick move and they made it possible! They stayed open late twice for me and were super sweet about it! The accommodated to my crazy schedule and I appreciate it so much! They were both super friendly and had great energy! Really made me feel welcomed and that this could be a great place to live for a while! The apartment is absolutely gorgeous ! Great modern vibe and awesome location. I’ll write another review after living here for a few months!!!

The management team of Camden Fairfax Corner is the best! My son, a resident, has recently been in recovery from a brain aneurism. The management office has been consistently friendly, supportive, flexible and helpful. Their caring spirit has been a bright spot in this journey for our family and we are eternally grateful.

This is actually a very great apartment that I would call a great and friendly community. Camden Fairfax Corner has my thumbs up for its professional and excellent staffs all over the place from the consultants, technicians to even the woman who picks up my trash every night. Moreover, CFC also gains my 5 stars with its beyond desirable equipment, neighborhood, events, or anything that you can ask for sigh of relief after a long day of working.
I have been living here for almost 6 months and I really admire how much professional and comfortable it is in here. Residents in here are very responsible, polite, and professional on the ways they greet each other. However, it was the first only time that I saw some dogs’ waste on the walkway and that really does not reflect my love for CFC.
Come and meet the leasing consultants and I am very sure that you will be amazed then satisfied when you start to be a part of CFC.

Camden fair fax corner is a great community in a great area. Abdul took over in 2013 and greatly improved the community. The improvements to the apartments over the years are outstanding and I will be here for a very long time. Love the location and people and I highly recommend it to everyone!

lots of dog feces that needs cleaning

Update… We did not end up moving here because the apartment that was shown to us was not the apartment that we were moving into. We went back to see the apartment due to it being occupied the first time we went and when we saw the actual apartment it was nothing like what we were expecting. They didn’t even have a floor plan layout for the apartment that we were getting. It was like the builders forgot about that apartment all together. There was no walk-​in closet in the master bedroom. The laundry was in the guest bathroom and the rooms were tiny. Even Samuel (the leasing agent showing us the apartment) was shocked. Luckily we were able to get out of the lease we signed due to not seeing the actual apartment before we signed it.
Other than that the apartment location was great and the first apartment we saw was very nice. But it worked out for us in the end because we found a beautiful apartment with almost 1800 sq ft. For less than what we would have been paying at Camden for 1200 sq ft. Only a few minutes away and we love it here!

Update:
We’ve been here for a year now, and my positive impression of Camden Fairfax Corner has only improved! During the past 12 months, I’ve had a chance to meet several of the residents, all various ages and everyone seems to share my positive thoughts about living here.
Again, if I had to pick one outstanding strength of this apartment community, it would be the excellent staff. Abdul, the Community Manger leads a great team, and this community thrives with excellent care for residents. I especially appreciate the few times I’ve had a question or concern, Abdul has personally contacted us and even checked in later to make sure everything is ok.
Abdul and his team are quick to greet residents by name when we run into them out on the property and they contribute to make living at this Camden location a great experience.
We hope to renew our lease in the near future, and I’ll update with details on ease of that process, etc as well.

I have lived at the Camden in Fairfax Corner for almost exactly 7 months. I have only good things to say about the community and the staff. The community itself is beautiful. The grounds are always well groomed and trash and dog waste is very contained. I never feel unsafe and love the fact that every entrance requires a key fob. I do live alone so that was a big plus for me when moving. Abdul and Joelle in the leasing office have been so delightful to work and interact with. This is my first apartment and they have been there every step of the way from the initial move in process to quick responses about payments and services. Joelle even came into my apartment and wrote an article about the design techniques I used and I really appreciated the personal approach she brought. I love how involved the staff is with the residents. I use the gym regularly and never feel crowded or rushed. All the equipment is up to date and clean to use. I’m also really looking forward to the two gated pools to open for the summer! Overall I strongly recommend this community to anyone looking. It is great for all ages and the surrounding location (Fairfax Corner) has a little something for everyone to enjoy. I can’t ask for a better ‘first apartment’ experience.

My husband, baby and I moved in September 2014 and we LOVE it here. Abdul, the manager, is a great guy! We wanted to move in ASAP and he got us in the same day. He remembers us and always says hi. The staff is super friendly and always answer any questions we have. Maintenance is on top of everything and also very nice and respectful. Every now and then I can hear neighbors on one side and some of the elevators are noisy but that comes with living in most apartments. The fact that they have trash valet makes this place a winner to me. They also have community events that I’ve been to, it’s nice to get to know other neighbors and see who’s living in the community. Best apartment complex I’ve lived in!

Urban chic living! What a great community. Moved here a bit more than a month ago and could not be happier. The staff are astute, attentive, and friendly. The residents are above reproach. The grounds are great. The location — beyond describable. This place redefines upscale living and convenience. Overall — the management team are über responsive and go out of their way to establish cordiality with their residents and host several events to promote a spirit of community. The parking is superior and the grounds during the snowstorm were always keenly attended to — with the property manager himself driving a snow machine! The updates to the units are contemporary and could use a few more tweaks — but still better than most in the area. If you are looking for contemporary, chic and convenience — you MUST give this property a second look and consider it your new home!

Pros:
Management and the staff are awesome. They know their residents by name and are very professional. I never had any issues with the management out there! The general manager is very straight forward and genuinely cares. The girls that work there are great too.
Cons:
The people that live there are awful. My vehicle has been hit so many times. There was spit in the elevators. People would not pick up after their pets. Whenever I would say hi to the residents, most would just stare me down. A lot of rude and inconsiderate people live there.

I see that the previous reviews were two years ago. A lot has changed since then — I can guarantee that.
My boyfriend and two friends, along with myself, moved to fairfax in January. We looked at two other places besides Camden, and none even came close.
The staff here is amazing. We’ve became relatively close with Joelle and Kyle. They love my puppy, are so eager to help, and are just genuinely awesome people. (Everyone is awesome — we just happen to see them more) Kyle even took the time to print out wineries and apple orchards so we would have extra things to do this fall. Again — amazing.
The trash is always picked up, everything is clean, and they do the best they can. Some people are so inconsiderate and rude — the leasing team can’t be out cleaning your parking spot in the winter. They’re too busy listening to you bitch in the office. OTHER companies and the maintenance team clean the snow and ice away, gets the trash, fixes the gates, etc. get a damn shovel, take out your own trash sometimes, and stop driving like an idiot — you too will have an amazing experience at Camden! Basically– most of these complaints are irrelevant to what Camden actually is.
We already re-​signed our lease for an awesome loft style apartment. Can’t wait for another year here!

The office team and Abdul have done an amazing job in turning this place around. Prior to the current management the biggest draw to Camden Fairfax Corner was its location and proximity to some of the best restaurants in Fairfax. Now, they have turned it into a true community were all the staff cares about the residences and engaging with them. There were some long outstanding concerns that other reviewers have written about but they have since been addressed by the new team. I’d highly recommend coming and taking a look for yourself. The value for these apartments given their décor, location, and community can not be matched. We looked at no less than 8 other complexs before deciding to renew our lease.

Save yourself a lot of pain and don’t move here.
Staff is nice but worthless and takes no action when needed.
Insects aboud. Apartments are infested with ants, spiders, centipede’s. The buildings are old and our apartment has tiny cracks you won’t notice till it rains or your heating bill goes through the roof in the walls and patio door. If you move in, save yourself some time dealing with management and just bring your own caulking.

Find somewhere else.
The management at this apartment complex is horrendous. They are only in the office while people (with regular 9 – 5’s) are at work, never respond to voice mails, and could pretty much care less about the people paying (a lot) of money to live at this nightmare of an apartment complex.
Children (i.e. teenagers) regularly get up on the roof and run back and forth (I live on the top floor; I should not hear footsteps or pounding above me, especially at 2 in the morning). There is never anyone on duty after 5pm and you have to call the Camden call center (out of Dallas or somewhere really close and convenient) if you have issue after dark. Once you get ahold of someone at the call center they basically tell you that they cannot do anything and you’ll have to wait until the office staff gets in at TEN AM. Ten? really? 10 – 5??! This is incredibly helpful at 3 in the morning when my fire alarm is beeping loudly every 2 minutes and I cannot reach it because it is 9 feet up. Beyond annoying.
The complex is also continuously hiring people to jackhammer the pool area that my apartment looks down on. Every month there is always jackhammering. I’m not really sure why they feel the need to resurface the pool deck every month, but the jackhammering in the court yard bounces off all of the walls and is extremely loud and obnoxious. Same with the pool and cook out area in the courtyard. I just love hearing loud noise all day everyday (even with my windows shut). Also, the cook out area never closes so you could potentially be listening to drunk cookout attendees until 5am, which happens way to often.
You would think the location in Fairfax Corner would be a plus and the security doors would make the complex safe; you would be wrong. Anyone can get into the building if they really want to, especially all the teenagers who’s parents drop them off at the movie theaters. If management was ever working past 5 they would know that hoodlums were running all over the building; but why would they care?
The customer service (or lack there of) is what really gets me. The management here continuously amazes me with their lack of caring and, frankly, professionalism. No calls are returned, just don’t bother calling the office, it’s a waste of time. Requests to not enter your apartment unless you are present are completely ignored, time and time again. Reoccurring payments are suddenly «not received» and you are charged late fees (they really won’t call you back about this matter, stealing is their forte). They seem to occasionally figure out how to work email, but won’t call or email you on important matters like late payments, even when you ALWAYS PAY ON TIME BECAUSE YOU USE AUTOMATIC PAYMENT. They nickel and dime you to the bitter end and there is no corporate phone number to call for answers. They leave you nasty-​grams about not following trash rules and that you will be charged, then they leave you photographic evidence of someone else’s door.
Overall, run away from this place. It is not worth the high prices (go next door, SO MUCH CHEAPER!) or the headaches. The management is poorly run and unorganized (and just don’t give a damn about their residents). Once you move in you are no longer a paying customer (HELLO CAMDEN FAIRFAX CORNER: EVERYONE LIVING HERE IS A PAYING CUSTOMER AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH!!) you are the gross sticky stuff on the bottom of Terrie Hubble’s shoes. The customer service is better at a McDonald’s. Take your hard earned money elsewhere, anywhere (I really mean, ANYWHERE) is better than this nightmare.

I have lived here 1 n half years. When going out, I was like running for my freedom! Management ladies are with histeric laugh. Believe me this Terry Lady is laughing like a crazy person. Well I can not say she does a very good job. Let me tell why: 1– Hallways smell like trash and there are stains on the floor, 2– parking is not packed, especially during when it snows there are a lot of ice and snow around –never moved– I am a disability prerson and the parking space for disability was covered in ice! My kid played couple of times at FFX corner fountains but there are more social service people than your freedom. You are never free here. I was mostly scares someone could kidnap my son because thea manager there at kids gym follows customers! So when you are not looking this blond look then people dont trust. I wouldnt spend so much money to live like in jail!

Great location, but not well managed. Hallways smell like garbage, carpets are filthy, and the management adds hidden fees for EVERYTHING in addition to the high rent; the place is also full of large barking dogs. Very noisy, thin walls. My neighbors had a dog that barked all night, and the management said nothing could be done about it because the couple didn’t speak English. The in-​office staff is very nice (with the exception of the general manager, who is not nice AT ALL), but they have no power to fix anything — the phone numbers provided to make a complaint go into a bottomless voice mail system. Too many other nice apartments available in the area — look elsewhere.
