Flexibility

Are you always on the move with your job? Not sure where you want to plant your roots? Camden offers lease terms for as low as three months. There is no need to worry about selling your house or selling your condo in a pinch, especially in a down market.

Also, one of the perks of being a Camden resident is taking advantage of our transfer options. If you are moving across town or to another great city, transferring is easy. Just give us a 30-day notice that you are moving. Once you find your new Camden community, there are no application or administrative fees!

Amenities Galore

Many homeowners do not have the luxury of having a pool or even a treadmill to run on. Luckily, when you live in a Camden community, you have both amazing amenities, plus much more! Our expansive fitness centers have cardio and strength equipment, free weights, and spin bikes. No need to pay for an expensive gym membership!

Use our outdoor grill for cooking up a fabulous meal. Hang out near the pool with your family under the cabanas or comfy chairs. We have plenty of space to relax, shoot a game of pool, or work in our resident lounges. Plus, we have Wi-Fi in our common areas, so you are always connected.

Maintenance Free Living

One of the best perks of apartment living! You are not responsible for any routine maintenance inside or outside of your apartment home. No mowing the lawn on a hot summer day for you! Our hardworking landscapers keep the grass trimmed and colorful flowers blooming year-round. Leaking faucet? Air conditioner not working? No problem! We will get that fixed for you right away! Those high costs repairs are nonexistent. Our highly trained maintenance team members are here for you 24 hours a day!

Low Up-Front Costs

When purchasing a home or purchasing a condo, you usually need to have a significant down payment available. You must have at least 3.5% up to the recommended 20% of a home’s purchase price. Upfront costs are low when moving into a Camden apartment. For many new residents, you will only need an application and administrative fee. Security deposits can be waived with a good credit score and rental history.
