We could tell the kind of place that we were moving into the first week that we were here. As we moved ourselves into our apartment and saw that our downstairs neighbors were actually a group of about 20 mexican people with cots laid out all over their living room, we figured that it would be a long year. By the way, if you like to speak english, this is not the place for you. All you will hear is spanish and thug english (I speak neither).
I would not recommend the hamptons to anyone who can afford to live somewhere better. One of the things that I find most irritating here is the fact that people like to go out and fix their cars at 2am. I am not joking, this happens just about every weekend. What makes it worse is that people do this while yelling and screaming with their friends and listening to loud, tribal thug rap. Come on people, it is 2am. I also do not appreciate the thin walls. I dont like having to hear our neighbors yelling at each other about how they no longer have sex because she is fat. I would rather not have to hear that.
I think the biggest problem with the hamptons is that you dont feel safe. I do not appreciate having to hear from coworkers that a new person has been robbed and pistol whipped while walking in the complex. I think that the apartment complex should tell us. Also, there are a lot of drugs at the complex. I guess I should have known that from the beginning though since none of my neighbors go anywhere during the day. Somebody tell me why they are sitting on the stoop of their apartment when I leave in the morning, when I come back from work at night and those random times I come home for lunch. What do you think they do for money' Because I have seen that they are not going to work. Its also kind of upsetting to talk to neighbors when you can see that their pupils are dilated and they have no idea where they are. Dont move here.

Oh my God, you are so on target with that. I came home from work early one day and almost the entire parking lot was still full of cars. I turned to my husband and said it doesn't look like anyone works around here, the cars were still in the same place.

This is absolutely not true. I have experienced NONE of what is being described. I speak only English and am ablee to communicate just fine with everybody I have met. Believe it or not, America is full of different cultures and not everybody shares the same narrow-minded racist views as you have so proudly displayed in your posting. I

Wow. This is kind of a racist and classist rant. "20 Mexican people with cots"? "Tribal thug rap"? "Thug english"? How could this unhappy resident be so shocked to find out that not everybody is like them? There are a lot of Americans who are not clean, articulate, white and employed full time. Still, the Hamptons can be kind of dicey. The people in the office don't seem too friendly either. For the person who wrote this -- No mattter where you go, there you are.

I'm generally a happy upbeat person, but I agree with bigtimeeww and have had a similar experience (I think we must live in the same court). Come on people, it is NOT RACIST to want to have law-abiding, quiet neighbors. I don't care what race my neighbors are or what music they listen to for that matter, i just don't want to hear it blared at all hours disturbing my child's sleep. It is true that there were 20 Mexican people living in one apartment banging away on cars and blaring music in the middle of the night. I don't care that they were Mexican I have several Mexican friends but it a major disturbance (not to mention violation of the housing code) to have 20 people living in one apartment making a ton of noise. That's the point.

I agree with all of you. But I think that for different people, they experience different things. For instance, I liked the old management better, because when we first moved in, we were signed up under the old contract. My job was moving me, I called the new management and they told me that since I had the old contract, I just had to provide them with 30 days notice and my letter. After I provided what they said, I received a letter in the mail, stating that I owed them over 3 grand. When I called back, the same person I spoke to, told me that she never told me to provide what I did and I have to pay for leaving the lease early. I told her that my contract that I had with the old company did not state that, in which she responded that the new company's contract states that. I told her I never signed with the new company and she proceeded to get very belligerent with me and talk down to me. I decided to go ahead with what I already done, we moved out and I did not have anything else to worry about. My main problem with the hamptons, was that the apartment they put us into, the previous tenants had a lot of roaches and bugs. The guy who lived beside me worked for the company and he told me about the previous tenants. I had several marks on my skin from the bed bugs that infested our mattress one month after moving in, the carpet was the worst. We could vaccum and within one hour the carpet was back to looking shaggy and unkempt. This totally ruined my vaccum cleaner and I ended up dumping it. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO LIVE SOMEWHERE DECENT, I RECOMMEND THAT YOU LOOK AT THE APARTMENT ITSELF WHERE YOU WILL BE MOVING INTO AND NOT THE MODEL. The model always look good, but when you look at the apartment itself, you would have a good idea whether that is the place you want to move into, which is exactly what I did when I moved and we have had no problems, no complaints. We do not pay any utilities, the apartment is much, much bigger, the Central Air is REALLY central air, up in the walls and no big vent thingies on the floor taking up space. Lots of room and all for only 800 bucks a month. People around here are nice, and if I get a package, it could stay outside my door for 3 days, and no one will touch it. No loud music, no hoodlums hanging around the building, and everyone is very nice, they even have private security patrolling the area every hour and police cruisers come by every 2-3 hours even in the daytime. I love where I live now and I am happy we got out of that expensive piece of blah! Oh, almost forgot, the metro is 10 minutes away by bus and 5 minutes by your own car.
