Summary

Parc Cameron is a 166-apartment Upper West Side rental with prewar proportions, concierge service, shared laundry and select homes with balconies or dishwashers. Residents love the on-site staff and Central Park location; small studios, roaches, steep renewal increases and an impersonal leasing process are the recurring drawbacks.

Reviews

Parc Cameron's on-site team and location receive much stronger feedback than its corporate leasing process. Apartment experience varies: some residents find their homes quiet and characterful, while others describe very small kitchens, pests and sharp rent increases.

What residents praise

On-site staff are warm and responsive

Residents consistently praise the concierge, superintendent and repair team for kindness, quick fixes and making the building feel personal.

Central Park and the subway are exceptionally close

The location gives residents easy access to the park, the B and C, neighborhood shopping and the wider Upper West Side.

Some apartments feel quiet and full of character

Residents value high ceilings, large windows, hardwood floors and, in favorable exposures, a calm home despite the central location.

What residents complain about

Roaches recur in several apartment accounts

Multiple residents describe persistent roaches even with careful cleaning and periodic extermination, making the exact line and recent pest history important.

Studios and kitchens can be extremely compact

Some studio residents describe limited counters, small appliances, little storage and layouts that become difficult for a longer stay.

Renewals and automated leasing frustrate residents

Complaints include steep rent increases, pressure around renewal deadlines and chatbot-led application or tour processes that fail to resolve unusual situations.

Building records
