This was a quiet and well kept property with the most helpful, attentive and professional management and maintenance staff! If we ever have another project in the Tampa area we will definitely rent from Camden Providence Lakes again.
Beware: property manager doesn't care about spraying there property for fleas and ticks- all they appear to spend money on is there appearance, don't let it fool you. they charge a 50.00 for the access card-not refundable when u leave. the apartments all share the cost of the water bill 2 persons may use less water then 4 or 5 but they average what ever the total bill for water divide how many apartments. 66.00 plus per month. they also charge too have your trash picked up and thrown away no choice to do yourself. the dog bark park was built and poorly designed by management and there doors wouldn't stop a not dog friendly pit bull mix dog that attacked my 6 lb dog versus a 65 lb dog.. animal control came and noted the door was not sufficient to hold any dog from attacking my dog or your or someone. the manager didn't even bother to find out who it was after myself giving her a full description and now my dog is on watch list for rabies. she spent no effort to locate the guy who lives here to turn over his information too animal services at all. the pool was closed labor day and the security is a joke. the huge gated area you come in, its a false sense of security anyone can walk right in threw all of the areas that don't have a fence. i see many people that don't live here walking and riding there bikes cutting threw apt from providence near maintenance shop they cut threw.The air conditioning is horrible humidity 58-62 percent way to high. the former renters were smokers and the maintenance department punch out men didn't notice the smoke smell from smoker , i had to get my duct work and air conditioning replace, it still took months for smell to go away. to feel nice we have to keep thermostat at 68 to dehumidify. the carpet and padding is cheap and thin offers no sound damping from 2nd to 1st floor. the second floor wood and supports of years of walking the same path cause it. unit is similar in design and the floors creak and pop and loud when walking. when on second floor. even hear the neighbors vacuuming at night 10-11 pm. ohhh isn't it great they have built in wine rack above refrigerator making the size of frig small and no storage for a larger family small freezer.horrible for a family 3-5. parking also sucks people have friends over and yes there is no assigned parking and get used too parking far from apartment.300 per dog i have two small crated dogs total weight 10 lbs. but 2 large 50-65 lbs dogs make a lot more mess, they should charged me only 300.00 for my small dogs. they don't cut the grass low enough when you have small toy breeds so your dogs won't do there business with there privates on the grass. cats cats and the management smirk oh we can't do anything they get in your trash and scratch your nice car paint job. and animal control also won't do anything. the apartment is only bright house which its slow when everyone is on the same tower or region, if they had verizon and direct tv it would take stress of and make internet faster .the don't have boat and trailer parking but other apartments do around the area. poor apartment signs and during xmas we had large and small packages not delivered to our apartment cause of poor lighting and signage some we never got at all.many dogs are left of leashes and there not worried or sent out remainders too apartments. LOOK AROUND AND ASK ALOT OF QUESTIONS SHOP AROUND.I WOULD NEVER LIVE HERE EVER MANAGEMENT IS RUDE SNOTTY AND COME OFF AS WE ARE CAMDEN CORPORATION TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. WHAT THEY RENT APARTMENTS YOU CAN RENT A HOME. the garages here are small and expensive based on others in area. what happened to your gazebo that burned down months ago disclose that you don't have proper security and enforcement and what you ccv cameras don't work or record really your camden.
Never had a bad experience. The maintenance and office staff are very kind, helpful and courteous. They know who you are when you walk in as if they have taken the time to get to know every resident. I recommend living here.
Miserable. Can't wait to leave.
