This sounds like every other community!
Seriously, my friends in the Gables love it there.
1. Association dues went down
2. Parking is great
3. Neighbors are friendly (They even extended the invitation of putting trash into their cans if they needed space)
4. Ghost Town? or Party Town? They prefer the quiet with the occasional Train noise.

Flmgrip actually hit on alot of the points. The perks are is that obviously its a new community, close to the 55 fwy, district (somewhat).
The cons? Well, if you take a stroll at night after dinner, chances are you’ll be one of maybe 3 families doing the same. If you walk by the bigger homes in Gables, well….I like to call it Ghost Town or Black Widow alley (if you look on the curb by the sandbags there is a black widow every 20 feet)
As the community builds out, the lack of community ammenities will become more apparent. There’s only one pool which is starting to get crowded already in the summer months. They have community events that are more likely attended by neighboring non-residents than actual CS residents. HOA fees are going up even though more people are moving in. We have neighbors throwing their garbage in our trash cans, filling them up to the top the morning of trash day (What if i have more trash to throw out in the morning?) Parking is becoming a huge issue in Camden/Cambridge. Many neighbors do not use their two car garages for parking. The what was once black iron fences that surround Camden, are now light gray, and the stucco has 2 foot cracks in it, and not a peep from the association.
Would you like to know more? Hey, at least I get to go home to a place that I can call home every night. That is…when the train horn’s not blaring at 11 pm.
