I have lived in the Hamptons for 3 years now. I adore living here. The apartments are very nice and with a little interior decoration innovation, they can be quite beautiful and homey. The rent here is the most affordable I was able to find anywhere in the Germantown area. The grounds are clean, the pool is convenient and well maintained, and there is even a gym! My utility bills are never more than 20 bucks a month, be it summer or winter. The Hamptons are also convenient to everything...its right near the local high school, shopping centers like Milestone, bus stops, there is even a convenient 711. In the three years I have lived here I have never heard so much as a peep from my neighbors, but when they do have a party they are very nice to warn me ahead of time and assure me that if they get too loud, to let them know and they'll quiet down. All of my neighbors are friendly and helpful and I absolutely love my apartment here. I will agree that the office staff never really seem to know whats going on, misplace stuff, etc. but as far as I am concerned that is a minor inconvenience for such an affordable and convenient place to live. My only wish would be to have laundry in the apartments.

Sounds like someone from the office wrote that last review!

What do you mean your utilities are around 20 dollars? Do you just mean water? or water and electricity included?

This sounds like an advertisement, with one small "negative" thrown in to make it sound realistic. I lived here years ago, it sucked then, and I hear it's only gotten worse. Avoid at all costs.

Whoever wrote this review is bullshitting. The new management is great, it took them long enough to change out the front desk people. The particular building that I live in,is horrible!!!!!!!!! There is never a parking space. Alot of people hang out at night it's horrible. I can't wait till my lease is up so I can get the hell out of here!!!!!

I've never had problems with parking. and, OH MY GOD THERE ARE PEOPLE NEAR YOU? How horrible! However do you stand living in the type of place where PEOPLE HANG OUT??? *rolls eyes* First off, when I mean alot of people hang out. It's not like they are welcomed. Just the other night, there was two fights in my building. Me and another tenant had to call the police in the two separate incidences. Now, you might like living here, but I can honestly tell you that people hang out smoking weed, have loud music, and party at all times a night OR they are fighting. The only good thing about this place is that they changed the front desk. The new ladies are very nice. The others were..... DARE I SAY IT ..... HORRIBLE!!!! I ALWAYS have problems with parking. One major reason is because half the people who park here DOES NOT live here. AND you can *ROLL your eyes* all you want, but you don't live near my building and you may be one of the lucky ones that have no drama going on in your building.....and that's fine. But please know all of us are not that lucky!!!!!! Enjoy your stay

I have been living here for about 8 months. And can tell you the water will run you less than $20 however the electric depends on you. I did the budget plan for one something a month. I never use that much so I got a break in the summer with a zero balance while I used my accumulated credit. There are groups of people that periodically roam the grounds during the evenings. I say hello when I pass the groups and they usually speak and keep walking. My work hours cause me to come home at varying hours. So I can say parking is available but further away after 8pm or so. Which is to say that I can't park in front of my building...I am not at all put off by walking from side of the building. I would tell anyone interested to visit day, night and on the weekend before signing a lease. I am lucky to have friendly neighbors and not much contact with the office. When I have gone in they have been friendly and had what I needed (a receipt for my rent).
