Camden

Absolutely love this apartment, the amenities are wonderful, maintenance responds within two hours, and it is so nice to have an attached parking garage with ample parking for guests. However, some people who live there are absolute slobs and leave trash in stairwells, park outside of the lines, and do not pick up after their pets. I know this is not the apartment's fault, but just goes to show how people can ruin nice things by not taking care of them. Luckily, our neighbors are pretty quiet.

The apartment itself is good. It’s relatively new, it was clean when I moved in, and management fixes things quickly if they break or need maintenance. The drawbacks are the constant noise (mostly from the garbage room directly below my apartment, but also construction, pedestrians, etc.). Additionally the windows are never cleaned and the screens do not cover the entire window so unless I want flys I basically cannot open my windows unless it’s cold.

Management is Awful

I like it a lot. It is close to everything we need, but i wish they had a security car that patrolled like my last apartment.

If I could give this place negative stars I would, DO NOT EVER LIVE HERE. The staff was awful and unhelpful and didnt ever support us. My roommate had his truck stolen, out of the "gated" garage, 1 out of the 6 that were stolen in under one year, there were gnats, cockroaches, feces and urine all throughout the property and management took weeks to address these issues. I had multiple packages stolen as well and got no support from any staff at the property. I never felt safe or sanitary at any point living here and I would NOT ever recommend this location to anyone at anytime if they value safety, cleanliness or happiness. Awful experience and I am glad I left there, worst experience of my life.

It is relatively a safe and quiet neighborhood to live in. The apartment is modern and an open concept. My greatest concern apartment hunting was keeping my car safe. There are private individual garages that allow for extra storage space as well. The costs was the lowest I could find with all the amenities it comes with (pool, ok gym, business center, in-unit washer/dryer). The utilities really do add up and tack on another $250-300. With a car, I am able to go to an Aldi and specific grocery stores that are difficult to find in DC using public transportation.

Camden Overlook is perfect for me because it has top tier amenities. They have a large gym, an indoor basketball court, and a heated pool. The apartments are not overly nice but they are not uncomfortable by any means. It is also only about 10 minutes from the law school. I'll probably be staying here for all of law school.

I love our apartment, it is the perfect size, a quiet neighborhood, great shopping and groceries, close to raleigh, durham, and chapel hill, super helpful maintenance staff. However, the rent does increase a good deal every year, and the parking lot does not have security watching it so cars are broken into often. Lock your cars.

Great space for the price! Walls are very thin. I recommend the top floor if you are sensitive to noise.

Overall a nice place to live. They always take care of maintenance items quickly, the building is in good shape, and staff are friendly.

It is a great apartment complex that is secure and with several floorpans that fit a variety of needs. Levy park, adjacent to the apartment is my primary reason for choosing this!

I cannot say enough good things about Camden Old 4th Ward. The location is walking distance to the grocery, shopping , bars and restaurants. The management is very helpful and accommodating. The unit is very spacious and updated. Would recommend and continue to live here!

It is a pretty nice complex and in a nice location. It isn’t a far commute to get anywhere.

The extremely high rent does not include water, sewer, trash nor internet. It comes to a tidy sum. The management is entirely lacking in discretion. An odd man spoke to me about something private, and I had never seen him before. John later came to my door to give me a card. Bizarre. The garage and at least one elevator are frequently broken. The alley is excessively noisy as stated in many negative reviews. Walls are indeed thin as paper. Any help requests to Jessica will be ignored. Cannot deny the location is good now that MacPherson square has been cleaned up, but not for long term living as it is a grocery desert and unfortunate school system, and high crime area. But for a pied a Terre the location is good, nobody clever stays for long it has been said. Building is active in the area so better options will be available.

Love my apartment but it is far from DC. Super close to metro. The management is responsive and the apartment is big!
