Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

I have consistently experienced the best residential support services the 10 years and counting at Camden Preserve. The staff are friendly and helpful… Anytime I have submitted a maintenance request I have received a prompt response. It could be plumbing or electrical maintence. The Maintenace team are quick and thorough. I strongly recommend this location to anyone moving to the South Tampa area. In some ways, your property management staff can make or break your living experience. it’s all in the service. Camden Preserve provides great accommodating services. Respectfully, T.D.R

I came to this apartment complex looking for a place to live and left with so much more than I ever expected. From the moment I stepped onto the property, I was impressed by how beautiful and well-maintained the community was despite the recent storm. But it was the staff who truly made this experience exceptional. Cindy and her team were not only professional but also incredibly kind and compassionate. Cindy, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure and was an absolute gem. She took the time to listen to my needs and worked diligently to help me and my family. Her warm and genuine nature truly set her apart, and it's clear that she is genuinely just a kind person overall. I haven’t experienced compassion like this in quite some time and I am forever grateful for her and her team. If you're looking for not just an apartment but a community where you'll be treated with care and respect, I highly recommend coming here. Cindy and her staff will make sure you're taken care of every step of the way. I couldn’t be happier with my experience!
