Camden Highlands Ridge

I will try and post a photo of all the extra charges on rent. We are nearly 200 more than we were quoted. That is the least of the issues.
Our apartment wasn’t cleaned after the last tenants and their 3 cats who liked to urinate on the carpet. I know this not only because of the smell. I cleaned up food crumbs from the last tenants and took their kids stickers off the wall.
We reported mold spots in the bathroom and they peeled the caulking and put new without even trying to pinpoint the cause. Now the mold is back.
Our walls are thin. We get to listen to our neighbors perform construction in their living room until midnight. When they are not doing that they are having parties and smoking pot which comes into our bathroom. Why would you put a bedroom and living room next to each other?
They find any reason to charge you $ 50 for a new permit. However they won’t do anything about cars taking up 2 spaces or staying in the same spot for months as long as they have that $ 50 permit. If you have guests they will have to walk because the visitor spots are all on one end.
I could go on and on but simply don’t rent here. It is expensive and not even close to worth it.

Such a well kept property and the new community manager is great! The insides of the apartments are amazing as well

We moved here after selling our home to live while searching for a new home. I can honestly say we would have been better on staying at an extended stay. This place has major issues from top to bottom. First, they have the cheapest appliances /​finishes on the market but they are still charging a premium on the rent. If /​when these cheap finishes break they will charge you a premium cost when you move out. Second, although in a great area of Highlands Ranch this apartment complex is riddled with crime! From people jiggling your door handles at night to see if you left it unlocked, to having our car broken into in the parking lot, to someone setting off smoke bombs and tampering with mail boxes… We literally had to look over our shoulder the entire time we lived here. Finally, the staff, if there ever were a more arrogant group of staff that when approached about the issues facing the community their statement was, «We didn’t force you to sign your lease!» There are many options in Highlands Ranch… I would choose being homeless over living here again.

Don’t rent this place
They will enter your house without notice
The manager is so mean and disrespect

My husband and I have lived here for two years.
First Star: Nice living spaces. Can’t hear what’s going on in other rooms. Updated appliances and consistently working water/​heat/​electricity. Cute outside with new paint and construction.
Second Star: Mary Matte and Tabby Martinez are both really nice and helpful staff members.
Three stars off for the following:
— Raising our rent $ 250 after a year.
— $ 3,000 in unexplained charges to our Camden payment portal after we announced we are moving. I’ve called several times to inquire about this but received no calls back.
— Spotty service in the office. Sometimes, you are greeted and helped. Other times you must wait indefinitely for the office staff to finish loud conversations amongst themselves before you are acknowledged.
— The police are here a lot? This January we found a bullet hole in a hall window. I know that’s not Camden’s fault but it makes for a strange experience.

I would not recommend this apartment complex. The property is not maintained very well: There are pot holes all over, trees need to be trimmed so they do not scratch your cars, they shut down a hot tub and are now not re-​opening it, the parking lots need to be striped because you can’t see where to park, there is often trash around the main trash bin, they have not picked up the leaves from the late fall, there is still hail damage from a few months ago that has not been fixed. All and all, not the best place to live. I would consider someplace else before this property.

Ask someone who been there and done it. My family have lived here in Campden Highlands Ridge for the past two years.
Positive — great location, convenience.
Negative — Once you move in, you are on your own. Maintenance DOES NOT exist. We still have work orders that are 6 months old (leaking roof, electrical– exposed wiring, raccoon infestation in attic… cosmetic).
Outside — the dog poop is everywhere; hot tub and kiddie tub have been empty most of the summer, major safety issues on kids playground, filthy pool shower. If you have little kids — do not by any means rent here as there are major health and safety violations on these grounds.
The management is beyond rude and unprofessional when it comes time to addressing issues. They tell you they have a business to run.
We have lived in many different places but I have to tell you this place is absolutely beyond awful. I still have a month before my contract expires and I can tell you — save your money and look somewhere else, Campden Highlands Ridge is not worth it. No wonder the place is half empty.
UPDATE:
(3weeks later)
We are moving out and still our work order list has not been touched even though we have been PROMISED this time it is going to get fixed. Contacted onsite manager just to get another slap in the face. Well as it turns out since we do not physically occupy the premise (even though we continue pay for it — got a job transfer) we are not going to get our work order completed. Our contract expires in one month. And the great thing is per manager’s email we are going to have to pay for some of these issues. (exposed wiring, raccoon infestation, mold caused by leaking roof, electrical stove light outage, non-​working blinds).
These requests have been made months and months ago, many, many times (phone, email, stop by the office), and NOTHING!!! Still the same issues on the list up to our move out date and now we have to pay for some of them??? Sounds like I will have to call my real estate attorney. Will keep you posted.
