Camden Midtown Atlanta

I have lived in two Camden properties, four different apartments, in two states in the past two years. I can only speak about my personal experience, in comparison with the other property where I lived in the past. So far I am very pleased with the living environment and amenities, as well as the helpful staff. However, though both properties I lived in are in downtown/​urban areas, I do see the gap between them.
The location is unbeatable: within walking distance from work, grocery store, drugstore, MARTA station, etc. and within 2 miles radius from many Downtown/​Midtown hot spots, such as Piedmont Park, Ponce City Market, the Beltline and so on. All units in my building are renovated recently, classic dark colored fixtures, stainless appliances and granite counters, and carpeted floor.
The staff, from the leasing office to maintenance, are all very helpful. Two times when I transferred/​signed the lease the staff sat down with me and looked for the best rate and moved the move-​in date slightly to work better with my schedule. Usually maintenance will respond right away if urgent (locked out) or by the earliest business day when non-​urgent. Everyone is very friendly.
Since I lived in another Camden property before, when I moved here they waived a couple hundred dollars of fees and a credit check (one less hard inquiry on record is always good since I had to move multiple times due to relocation in the past 4 years).
Security…there have been quite a few break-​ins in the past a few months, taking place in the same building and done the same way. I live in building 1000 and there has not been any crime in our building since I moved in 7 months ago. Camden has definitely increased security force since the most recent incidences and there are police cars patrolling regularly in the area. A suggestion: I hope to see Camden keep security features consistent across properties/​states, such as security cameras and staircase/​elevator fob control (which can be annoying sometime when you have to walk your guest out, but it made me feel much safer).
Keep up with the good work!

I lived in 3 different Camden properties in Tampa, FL and had such amazing experiences that I was shocked at what I’ve experienced in my 5 months at Camden Midtown.
The location is convenient, I will admit that, however, that same convenient location is also a negative due to the fact that the apartment walls are paper thing and its located in a busy part of town. Not only do you hear traffic when its heavy, but a single car going buy, it’s as if your windows are always open to let in the noise when they’re actually closed. And on top of that you can hear your neighbors conversations when they’re speaking relatively level.
The customer service has to be the worst I experienced at a Camden. When I first moved in, Kennie was a leasing consultant here and was so amazing and nice, by the time my move in date arrived he was no longer at this location and John took over my move in. He called me days before I moved demanding my renters insurance and electric statement which I planned to bring with me the day I signed my lease as per usual. When I discussed not being there until later in the day when my lease started, he started trying to change my lease date. The entire conversation I felt as though I was being talked at by a terrible used car salesman trying to push me into every vehicle on the lot.
While the kitchen upgrades are nice and the apartments themselves are pretty clean, my dryer takes 3 cycles to dry sheets– nothing heavy just a few sheets, the lint is cleaned out of the filer. Maintenance has been out but no resolution. Speaking of maintenance, at my move in time John walked the apartment with me and noted a few items to be fixed. He stated he would go place the requests for me so they’d be handled timely, after 2 weeks of not having a smoke detector, my door not being painted, and a few other minor things, I called and the office had nothing noticed to tell maintenance and I had to place the requests myself. The one item that was fix was a caulking in my tub that maintenance had worked on the day before I moved in. I was told they needed to complete a follow up in 2 days and not to use the shower for 2 day;the next morning I was startled awake to hearing noises in my bathroom as the maintenance person just walked right into my unit without calling or knocking when I hadn’t been expecting maintenance yet.

Camden has done NOTHING in the past few months to make it more livable here. They are complete liars at every level. Their has been a huge upswing of break-​ins and stealing in the past month. They have not addressed security concerns of the residents and continue to tell us to increase our insurance if we want to be protected. This is NOT a solution to living in an unsafe complex. They are also dealing with a huge upswing of long-​time residents demanding to be let out of their leases and moving to other area complexes with much better management. It amazes me that the amount of money they are losing by everyone either not renewing and/​or threatening legal action to get out of leases months in advance isn’t enough to make them take heed. Please don’t rent here. Anything good you’ve heard is from past management last year. Camden Midtown is unsafe, reckless and un-​maintained. If you like constant flooding in your units, homeless people living in the stairwells, break-​ins, stolen packages/​Mail, no security, lack of maintenance, and high rents — then this is the place for you!!!

This place is great! Beautifully renovated apartments. Very professional management and maintenance crew.

I have lived here at Camden Midtown for 15 months now and will be moving out in a couple weeks. I have equally positive and negative feelings about my experience here. Let’s start with the positive:
1-​Location: it’s in midtown, super close to a lot, and convenient.
2-​The customer service I received over this year, most particularly from leasing agent Kennie and the maintenance men, have been stellar. Kennie is responsive, always pleasant, and really enjoyable to work with. I had 2 difference occasions for small maintenance concerns and they were fixed within 24 hours-​keep in mind, these were not pressing issues either!
3-​The grounds and apartments itself are beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. It’s clear this is a high end place and that much attention is taken to its appearance. I live overlooking the water fountain area and it’s absolutely lovely. My apartment has beautiful crown molding and is quite spacious for a studio.
4– They have a good pet policy which makes them winners in my book!
Now for the balance of my libra scales… the not so lovely attributes…
1-​cost. This place is expensive! I live in a studio and paid $ 1100 a month at the lowest rate for 15 months. Keep in mind that only includes basic cable… nothing else.
2-​parking-​unless you can spring extra coins for a reserved parking spot, you have to park in the first come first lots. In my experience, if you’re in any later than 6:30−7pm on weeknight, you can kiss the chance of parking in a gated lot goodbye. That means that you have to either park on the street or park across the street, in a semi secure parking deck. It’s a pain in the rear end when you’re coming in after a long work day, with groceries, in the rain etc…
3-​The walls are paper thin. Admittedly, I am more of a sensitive sleeper than most but good lord, you can hear everything in this place. I’ve been kept up many a night to the ceaseless beat of bass above me or next door which is frustrating to me as a working professional. I also live above the water fountain area which while it is beautiful, tends to draw drunken smokers at all hours of the night which means I can’t open my windows or get quality sleep.
Overall, it’s been a good place to live for the past 15 months and would recommend this community to someone who understands and enjoys city living.

Camden is full of lies and miss communication The people that you work with don’t want you to come up to exceed in the business for six months was good after those six months things start going downhill with me in the supervising discrimination against race The supervisor would love to have Spanish people workers only he don’t like blacks and he don’t like whites just act like he do discrimination at Camden Midtown Atlanta I was a victim of it The managers was shady to buying the leasing office lunch and Forget about the maintenance man crew. He had all the maintenance people working like slaves in the hot as sun with no water no type of lunch to show appreciation it seems like they want you to work hard and never move up I heard about other people in the company that tried to move out and never Did and kept trying and kept trying and never did until now and still have not just remember is not the company didn’t you work for is the people that you work with Camden love to pick in choose who they like and they don’t like Day is very un-​organize on things that they do at the work field supervising have every bad communication you give me respect at Camden any don’t show no respect only once in the Blue moon The high is a black person will move up at Camden property is to a assistant manager they are no managers that’s black that works at Camden in Atlanta and there is no black people that works at the headquarters in Atlanta and Houston this is my experience working with Camden Midtown Atlanta

My husband and I lived at Camden Midtown for a little less than a year (from Aug 2013 — June 2014) and the only reason why we moved was to buy and be closer to my husband’s job.
The customer service we received from the leasing office while living there was fantastic. They were all a pleasure to work with. The leasing team is all super friendly and was quick to respond to our questions as well as report updates to the community on issues in the building and surrounding area. There was a few crime incidents, not a surprise for living in the city, that were handled efficiently and with great care by the leasing office. We worked mostly with Bellancia, Kenny and Jesse and I would give them all two thumbs up on customer service.
The apartment layout we had was called «Brave» and is a 2 bed room 2 bath unit. It was very spacious. The kitchen is larger than most apartments in the area for the price which was a huge selling point for us. The only downside was the floor which was wax coated concrete; however after moving out our entire unit was renovated. We recently saw the renovations while stopping by to pick up some mail. It’s awesome looking, very modern look with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, floors were redone and the bedrooms are carpeted.

So I basically rented this place, site unseen (big mistake and learned my lesson the hard way). To make a long story short, I signed the lease, moved in at new employer’s cost, and moved out (at my own cost) less than a week later.
First night, I discovered a roach infestation — see Animal Planet’s «Infestation» and you’ll get a good idea of what it was like — if not, see attached photos. Unfortunately management was «not able» to get me an appropriate replacement and was not willing to give me a price break on the newer Camden Ivy Hall next door, since they have «no control» of market rates. What?! They also didn’t reimburse me for my hotel expenses (I couldn’t stay there after the first night) and refused to pay for moving unless I moved to the other unit within the complex. I eventually got back what I paid them, but incurred more than additional costs — I lost my peace of mind. I also had to take off from my new job to find a new place and move again. It just doesn’t seem fair.
C’mon Camden — you can’t even put up a tenant in your own furnished executive apartments somewhere else since I’m not the one who caused the infestation?! The only positive is that I do think Kimberly was genuinely helpful as a leasing agent but they should have done a better job of ensuring livable units before a tenant moves in — how do you not know that you have a roach infestation in your own building? If you can’t know this, then you have a bigger problem than I thought — glad I moved out!

I wouldn’t live here if it was free! I have never met such incompetent people in my life!
It all started when we went to view the place for the first time. We saw the apartment with an idiot named Mario. He had people wanting to see the place when we got back so he gave us the paperwork with our options, etc on it and told us to stay in the office while he showed the other people around. That was fine, we understand if your the only person there you have to help everyone but he LOCKED us in the office. We couldn’t leave! An hour later he came back, I was now 20 minutes late for work! Even though that happened we liked the location and price so much we signed a year LONG lease.
We both work and since I had just started a new job we paid people to move us so we would only have to take 1 day off. We get moved in and unpacked and 2 weeks later when maintenance is in our apt they see our dog and proceed to tell us that dogs aren’t allowed in the building we moved into.
We had made it clear to Mario that we were getting a dog so why he showed us an apt that didn’t allow dogs is beyond us!
We were told the only similar apartments available cost $ 150 more a month. After much fighting and calling corporate we got a price match but were told we had to move in 2 days. Since I couldn’t take off, my husband and a friend had to move it all by themselves. (glad we spent all that money having people move us so we wouldn’t have to!) No one said sorry but Mario was nice enough to ask my husband when he would be done because he needed the key to the other apartment, we weren’t really allowed to have it for more than a day but he was doing us a favor by letting us keep it to have EXTRA time to move. What a jerk!
I cant express how happy I am that I no longer live there and will hopefully never see those morons again!

1. Staff that is rude and unresponsive.
2. When I first moved in, I made three complaints over 2 – 3 months about the rats that were living near one of the apartment entrances. I grew up on a farm — I know what rats look like. Nothing was done until I left a lengthy narrative about the problem on a corporate-​sponsored resident survey. Solution? Put a brick over the hole to their nest — brilliant given that rats can chew through cement and have probably moved into the building’s foundation.
3. There is currently a serious security issue. Guests cannot park on the street at this complex. Those parking in the secured garages without the proper permits are booted or towed, so you have to use the Camden visitor parking. There has been a rash of break-​ins. One of my guests has had his car broken into twice in 6 weeks. I was told point blank by the District Manager that the security of the property was not their problem. She told me that there was nothing they could do and if someone was assaulted it would be a police issue, not a Camden issue even though they are well aware of the problem.

I’ve had experience with the Camden complex for a little over a year and I must say I am a fan. (I’d rather not say if I live here or if I have a close friend who does — it’s all about the safety people) The gym is so so, but I guess they did the best with the room they had.
The management is really good about letting tenants know when they need to come into your apartment and if something breaks they are all over fixing it. Someone I know had some problems with appliances when they first moved in and Camden replaced them no questions asked as well as credited the account to lesson the next months rent.
Only bummer? It’s not a walking area by any stretch of the imagination, but hey — it’s Atlanta — it wasn’t really designed to be a walking town.
