What it actually costs per month
| Cost component | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Base rent, smallest current 1BR (635 sq ft) | $1,119/mo | Live unit price, Camden’s availability page |
| Required per-unit monthly fee | $9 to $14/mo | Varies by unit; listed as a mandatory add-on to base rent by Apartments.com |
| One-car detached garage (optional) | $125/mo | Consistent across current and older snapshots |
| Two-car detached garage (optional) | $150/mo current, $175/mo tandem | Zillow shows $150 standard versus $175 tandem; an older, 2023-dated ApartmentGuide snapshot showed $175 flat, the price has moved since |
| Pet fee, per pet (up to 3) | $500 one-time plus $30/mo | Non-refundable; no weight limit; breed restrictions apply except assistance animals |
| Cable, valet waste, pest control (resident-reported) | ~$75 to $85/mo combined | One detailed ApartmentRatings.com review itemizes roughly $50 for Comcast, $25 for valet waste, and $5 to $6 for pest control on top of rent; this is one resident’s account, not an official fee schedule |
A $1,119 headline price on one site and a $1,069 headline price on another describe two differently defined units captured at two different moments. With one garage and the mandatory unit fee, the realistic floor for the cheapest current unit is closer to $1,256 per month, well above the bare $1,119 figure that gets quoted.
Why do different listing sites show different starting prices for Camden Holly Springs? Each aggregator pulls its own live-inventory snapshot on its own schedule. A price quoted today reflects whatever unit is available today; a price cached from an earlier crawl, one clearly dated source here was from 2023, will not match. Treat every published number as a snapshot to re-verify at the time you inquire.
Units and floor plans: what “available now” means
Camden Holly Springs offers 14 distinct floor plans across one, two, and three-bedroom apartments plus one and two-bedroom townhomes, ranging from 635 to 1,380 sq ft. A live-availability figure of 24 units seen on one listing reflects units currently on the market, not the community’s total unit count. No source checked here confirmed the property’s actual total unit count or build year.
Location and commute reality
| Provider | Walk score | Transit score | Bike score | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Walk Score (via Zillow) | 27/100 | 29/100 | – | Car-dependent; some transit options |
| Walk Score + Local Logic blend (via Redfin) | 3.4/10 | 3.0/10 | 4.4/10 | Car-dependent, minimal bike infrastructure, low ambient noise at 7.2 out of 10 on Redfin’s own scale |
The two providers use different methodologies and scales, so the figures aren’t directly convertible, but both agree on the practical conclusion: daily errands here assume a car.
That conclusion holds even though every listing mentions access to public transit. The transit in question is METRO’s Westchase Park & Ride at 11050 Harwin Drive, an express commuter bus lot, not light rail. METRORail’s Red Line runs through downtown and the Texas Medical Center corridor, well outside walking distance of this address; the transit here means a bus into downtown, not a nearby train stop.
Terry Hershey Park sits within walking distance and is directly accessible from the property. It spans 496 acres and 12.2 miles of trail along Buffalo Bayou, maintained by Harris County Precinct 3.
Is Camden Holly Springs walkable, or do I need a car? Car-dependent by both providers’ scoring, in the 27 to 34 out of 100 range depending on which service you check. Terry Hershey Park is walkable from the property; grocery runs, most dining, and any commute beyond the park are not.
Schools zoned to this address
| School | Level | Rating (Redfin) | Rating (Zillow/ApartmentGuide/Rent.com) | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Walnut Bend Elementary | PK to 5 | 4/10 | 5/10 | 0.5 to 0.6 mi |
| Revere Middle | 6 to 8 | 5/10 | 2/10 | 0.4 mi |
| Westside High | 9 to 12 | Not numerically rated by either source captured here | 4.7 to 4.8 mi |
The Revere Middle School gap, a 5 on one site and a 2 on another, both citing GreatSchools as the source, is the discrepancy that matters most here: those numbers describe meaningfully different schools. Pull the rating directly from GreatSchools.org before treating either figure as settled.
What happens if I’m not satisfied after moving in? Camden’s 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee releases residents from the lease, without penalty, if they’re unhappy within the first 30 days of move-in, a policy stated on Camden’s site and not matched by any third-party listing checked for this property.
Pet policy, garages, and application screening
- Pets: up to 3 per apartment, no weight limit, cats and dogs; breed restrictions apply except for assistance animals. Fee amounts appear in the cost table above.
- Garages: one and two-car detached options, plus a tandem configuration; current pricing appears in the cost table above.
- Application screening: identity and income verified through Vero, a third-party screening company, on every applicant.
- Lease term: standard multi-month terms; confirm current options directly, since no source checked here listed a stable range.
What to verify before you apply
- Smoking policy: current listings state Camden Holly Springs is a completely non-smoking community, a plain statement rather than the ambiguous phrasing that circulates on some older listings.
- Price snapshot: confirm the live quote at the time you inquire; the range documented here spans two different pulls taken at different times.
- Garage pricing: the two-car rate has moved between at least two documented snapshots, $150 versus $175; reconfirm before budgeting.
Reputation: the identity-theft case and what it means
Alongside routine maintenance and staff praise in reviews, one documented case on ApartmentRatings.com, also archived on the Better Business Bureau’s profile for Camden Property Trust, describes a fraudulent lease signed in another person’s name, followed by a debt collector pursuing the affected individual for $12,331.84 in rent despite that person never having lived in Texas. Camden’s reply to the review acknowledges a fraudulent applicant was involved. This sits in tension with the property’s use of Vero for identity and income screening on every application; screening reduced but evidently didn’t eliminate the risk in this case. This is one documented incident. The practical response for any applicant is to ask directly what identity-verification step changed since, and to keep copies of every application document.
What should I know about the identity-theft complaint before applying? One reviewer reports a fraudulent lease taken out in their name led to a $12,331.84 debt-collection claim, with Camden’s reply confirming a fraudulent applicant was involved. Ask the leasing office what verification steps changed since, and keep your own paper trail of every document you submit.
How it compares to nearby Camden communities
| Property | Distance | Starting price (current) | Distinguishing feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camden Holly Springs | – | $1,119/mo | Private lake, indoor sports court, dog park with wash station |
| Camden Whispering Oaks | 2.7 mi | $1,159 to $1,249/mo live; $1,189 to $2,189/mo full range | 274 units built in 2008; tropical-themed pool |
| Camden Stonebridge | 3.0 mi | $1,209 to $1,219/mo | Comparable Westchase-submarket pricing tier |
All three share the same brand, same fee structure, and same screening process. The price spread between them, over $100 on a comparable one-bedroom within three miles, is the real answer to whether Camden Holly Springs is competitively priced for the submarket.
