Hampton: A Marginal 'Yes' (Recommending!)

2008-09-03T12:07:12-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived at the Hampton for 3 years now, just finally moving out due to what I feel are some pretty excessive rent increases. When I first moved in, my rent was $1,150 a month... an absolute steal compared to the surrounding area. However, I knew trouble was coming when ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: Great Staff, great value, just renewed my lease (Recommending!)

2008-10-16T11:55:48-06:00

From Popcorn55: I have lived in this area over 9 years, moved from a more pricier complex in Pentagon City, The Hamptons is still the best; cleaner, I have yet to see dog poop in stairway or halls. Great welcoming neighbors and staff. This is a well kept secret for Crystal City. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: I agree (Recommending!)

2008-08-13T15:10:08-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The previous must have been evicted for non-payment. This is a great value, go see for yourself. It is more like a community then an apartment building. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: the below reviews are so wrong (Recommending!)

2008-07-04T15:11:19-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The police were here once to take out people on the 8th floor. This is a very clean, quiet and safe building. We have brand new carpeting and walpaper in the hallways and new elevators. I have never seen a bug in my apartment. The only thing this place lacks ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: The DEA & Arlington Co Police just left this place (Not Recommending)

2008-02-01T21:08:44-06:00

From vannylewis@yahoo.com: We got home & watched intently as even members of the DEA and SWAT team had to wait for the elevators to arrive to search and serve a drug warrant on a tenant. I am an intern here to which I thank God for as it means I'm leaving but ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: Do you enjoy noise, faulty work, and nefarious neighbors? (Not Recommending)

2008-02-01T14:27:07-06:00

From komaesquire: Then by all means move here!! I just moved out of this hell hole a few months ago and must warn all!! You're better off moving into the warwick house for a few extra bucks because you're ensured stuff will get done. This place has a contract with an intern ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: Not as bad as some people say. Get a life! (Recommending!)

2007-11-27T10:24:54-06:00

From jtrantanella@ushmm.org: This is an older building, safe, requires maintenance, as any other dwelling. Occupants vary from Military Officers and NCOs, police, professionals, students etc. Always get togethers in the Penthouse. Great location, walking distance to Metro, Bus stops in front, close to COSTCO, Crystal City shops. Compared to other apartments a ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: This place should be condemned. (Not Recommending)

2007-11-13T13:54:58-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Disgusting roach infested apartments water/mold damage bad smells (cat pee) very slow elevators (if they are working at all) the water is constantly being shut off (sometimes w/o warning). Pretty much the worst living experience of my life! ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: Cheap (Recommending!)

2007-07-25T10:33:31-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If you are looking for a place close to the metro that is cheap for the area, go for it. But I recommend living on the front of the building (tend not to have the problem with leaks that the back of the building has) and not living above the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: Decent and cheap (Recommending!)

2007-07-15T20:32:10-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Ok I have lived here for two years and while it has its share of problems, elevator outages and bugs, the bug situation was taken care of when new management came in. The management staff is extremely nice. The rooms are spacious although the kitchen needs to be updated. The ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: I am confused???? (Recommending!)

2007-06-16T12:33:18-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here for almost a year now and I have not had the water turned off yet. I can agree with some of the maintenance issues, but the staff seems to be getting better and better. I will be renewing my lease this year because I am very ...

Hampton: There's a reason it's the cheapest in Crystal City (Not Recommending)

2007-06-11T10:11:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Whoever designed this building was a knucklehead! There are two elevators for 16 floors of apartments. Right now, one of the elevators is out of order and has been that way for more than a week. The strange (or typical) thing is that it had just been repaired a few ...

Hampton: Bad, Disrespectful, Unprofessional Management. (Not Recommending)

2006-11-28T17:48:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Regardless of how "ok" the rooms are, the management made my whole experience there miserable and disgusting. To top everything, one of their staff, who probably lacks cleverness, stood witnessed a former resident taking one of my belongings from the storage room. She informed me of this, yet she wouldn't ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: DO NOT LIVE HERE (Not Recommending)

2006-11-16T12:42:25-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have never written an apartment review before, but this absolute mess of a place inspired me to do so now. In over 25 years of apartment living I have never lived anywhere in which the staff is as rude and unhelpful as The Hampton. Requests for repairs are constantly ...

Hampton: Worst living experience ever (Not Recommending)

2006-07-19T17:01:15-06:00

From Phaedrus: I've lived in some rat traps in my day, and one thing positive I can say about the Hampton Apartments is that it has no rats.

Almost everything else is horrible though, save the quick access to the Metro, and the Underground parking.

The bad stuff? Let's start off with the elevators. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: Easy, safe access to Metro and a bargain (for the area) (Recommending!)

2006-07-06T22:42:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Compared to other buildings within about a 20 minute walk to the Crystal City and/or Pentagon City metros, this building is a bargain. It's about $100 less/month than the Crystal City average for a 1 bedroom apartment that is 50-100 square feet larger than most others in the area. The ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: Horrid (Not Recommending)

2006-06-07T20:39:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This apartment building is horrid. The water is out all of the time. The elevators break down frequently. The heating/air conditioners are ancient, loud, and always breaking. The staff is nice enough, but they've been handed a lump of %$#% to deal with. Their higher-ups at "corporate" could care less ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: Don't even think about it (Not Recommending)

2006-04-18T16:58:24-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The maintenance staff has to be the worst in the world - the water gets cut off at least twice a month, heating and air condition units don't work and the maintenance staff doesn't fix them. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: DONT LIVE HERE! (Not Recommending)

2006-03-03T18:17:45-06:00

From mmarette@gwu.edu: The Hampton is a horrid place to live. Hot water to the entire building "breaks" at least once a month and does not get repaired for a day or too. Most units are infested with either cockroaches or ants. Plumbing is an issue throughout the building. 16th floor residents get ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: NO! Nice location but horrible service. Mean staff! (Not Recommending)

2006-03-03T14:24:54-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place is a really nice location and reasonably priced.
However, nothing is fixed when you need something. Our heat was out for a week-middle of Fed-and our AC was out for a week-middle of Aug- before getting fixed. Hot water is constantly in need of repair and there are ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: A Well-Located but Frustrating Place to Live (Not Recommending)

2006-01-04T16:52:01-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We have lived here a little over seven years now. Annoyance with maintenance problems prompted me to leave this review, but I’ll do my best to leave a fair representation of both the plusses and minuses as I see them.

Pros:
- The balconies are huge. Really nice if you like having ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: Nice and reasonably priced for the area (Recommending!)

2005-05-18T22:10:41-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The Hampton is a basic, no frills apartment community. There is one free assigned paring spot in the garage for all tenants, so I have never had an issue with parking. When I have visitors they have no problems finding parking spots in front of the building (as long as ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hampton: (Not Recommending)

2005-04-02T19:00:28-06:00

From -Anonymous-: nightmare getting anything fixed. Lots of hidden costs. No dryer vents. This place is bad. ... [click to read full apartment review]
