Camden Huntingdon Apartments, Austin TX

I like the community for its cleanliness and quick turn around time for fixing any sort of maintenance issues at Camden. Maintence guys are very good at their work especially Bryan and another lady who comes to fix the issues. They are very friendly and good at their job.

I visited only the office and one available apartment, I am not a resident.
Pro:
- relative save and gated area
- location is very good
- a lot of qualified staff members
- Camden cares about the residents, maybe the main reason that speaks for Camden
- new and modern fitness room (small but nice)
Cons:
- received no brochure with all fees, service charges and other useful information, main reason why I didn't apply
- buildings are not new anymore
- electronic devices maybe a little bit old
- expensive to rent, it is possible to find slightly cheaper options with similar amenities
- valet trash and internet packet are mandatory, no free provider choice

Maintenance staff: 5+ stars. Can’t rave about the maintenance team enough. They are always fast, friendly, and knowledgeable.
Safety/Security: 1 star. My car was broken into while living here. There have been multiple vehicle break-ins and at least one incident where a resident was robbed at gunpoint. The staff holds regular meetings for residents to talk with local APD officers but it is disappointing because, considering crime incidents don’t seem to be slowing down, there hasn’t been any major improvements to ensure better security like installing cameras or even hiring a nighttime security officer.
Price/Quality of Apartments: 4 stars. Price is great considering the area and taking into account the quality of the interior and exterior of the apartment buildings.
Amenities: 4 stars. The pool is nice and big, well maintained, and is hardly ever crowded considering how big the complex is. The gym is a little small but has the essential equipment. My only issue is the printing / computer area is only accessible during leasing office hours, making it a little inconvenient.
Front Office Staff/Customer Service: 3 stars. The front office staff working here are generally nice and helpful, HOWEVER- After my car was broken into, we decided to rent a garage and signed a garage rental agreement with a set monthly price. The leasing office came back to us months later and told us the price we were paying for a garage was actually much too low and wanted to not only increase the monthly rate, but they also wanted us to pay what we “owed” for the previous months that we were being charged the lower rate. Very unprofessional considering THEY signed and agreed upon the initial rate so just beware and double-check documents you sign.
All in all, a quality place to live for the price. Just wish a little more initiative was taken to help prevent crime and promote a better sense of security here.

I would like to share that Brian and the entire maintenance team are the best part about living at this property. They are always so quick to respond to any request, so professional and thorough, and always follow up. Thank you for taking care such good care of our apartment and community. My family feels lucky to live at a property where the maintenance team clearly takes so much pride in their work. Thank you!

I’m a bit surprised that nobody here spoke about the crime on this property. It all started in Jan ‘20 with an armed robbery in the parking lot and then a series of attempted break-ins. The management was still assessing on the additional security measures months after the incidents.

The good:
1. Maintenance staff. Quick and efficient
2. For the most part a calm neighborhood
3. Close to the Walnut Trail and HEB

The bad:
1. Parking spaces. Way too small to fit your car in
2. Gym — it’s outside the apartments’ main gate. Didn’t feel safe to step out in the evenings
3. Walls are relatively thin and I could, for the most part, hear my upstair neighbor’s kids and dog running around
4. The space in the apartment is poorly managed with not enough closet space. I’m not sure if it was just my unit

I had to leave because I didn’t feel secure here and that the management wasn’t doing enough for months.

Hopefully things will get better for what was once a safe neighborhood.

The staff and grounds of Camden Huntingdon are AMAZING. Just moved out because of work changing, but moved to another Camden property mostly because of the wonderful experience at Huntingdon. Keep it up!
