Northampton Apartments

What can I say good about Northampton besides I moved out of there after 5 plus years. When we first moved in they were under Equity Management and it was fine. But when the new company took over it went down hill fast. So let’s start with the rental office I hope you never have a emergency and need to reach then. Because they never answer the phone. And if they do they are rude as if your disturbing them. I have had packages delivered to the rental office just for them to disappear. And miraculously reappear when Comcast tracked the package and told me that your box was not only signed for but somebody activated it. Then the maintenance staff are nice personally but are either told to repair things as cheaply as possible or are not trained in basic building repair services. Security is a joke within the last three years my tags have been stolen and someone vandalized my car. At one point the did hire security but he spent the nights sleep in his patrol car and his days parked next to the pool trying to pick up women. The outside grounds are never cleaned and there isn’t enough trash dumpsters so people just leave there trash piled up next to the dumpsters. Would I ever refer a friend to northampton nope never. Oh and when you move out best believe they will hit you with a bill for everything. After 6 plus years they had the nerve to try to charge me for carpet replacement. If your desperate go head move into Northampton but fyi it’s cheaper to rent one of the townhouses in the area.

I just moved out of Northhampton after living there for one year.
PROS: location to my job, if you do drugs you’re in luck cause my old neighbor was absolutely a dealer, parking for me was only an issue on weekends after around 8PM.
CONS: Office staff, except for a man named Jason, every single person there is EXTREMELY rude! You could simply be asking to pick up a package and get attitude. God forbid you go in and say «Hey I have mold in my apt»… than its all over. Beside the fact they are rude they do not do ANYTHING they say they will do. They don’t call, return calls or truly care about you at all. I reported so many things broken in my apt and they were never fixed. There was this VERY LOUD beeping noise coming from the sprinkler room outside my apt. The alarm was coming from the sprinkler system trying to alert someone of an issue. I made 9 different requests (on different days) to maintenance they came 2x and said they silenced it (why they didn’t fix it we will never know). The alarm would always come back on within 8 hours. The noise was so loud you could hear it in the bedroom, it was like a terrible alarm clock going off non stop. Remember the mold I told you about? Well… took them 3 days after I told them about it to fix it. By fix… I mean, they sprayed it with some lime smelling cleaner, cut out part of my carpet and put a fan on it. But, they only did that to one spot not the three I had told them about. Needless to say, the mold warped by brand new bed frame and was never actually dealt with.
Side note– the drug dealer next door would lay on the main stairs going to our apt. Actually lay on them while drinking a beer (talented at least). He was weird as hell, and also had a dog that he trained to attack.
All in all… why move here? They don’t include ANYTHING in your rent, anyone and their mother can park here and never move their car again. The office staff was clearly hand selected for their ability to be rude. You’re rent will go up each year (understandable) if they even fixed issues. Just don’t.

DO NOT MOVE HERE. Upon moving in the first thing we noticed was the gasoline smell coming from the water faucet in the bathroom. We notified the maintenance personnel, who confirmed the smell, but nothing was done. The wall painting is horrible, the so called renovated apartments are comprised of nothing more then marble look alike counters and tiles. The walls and floors are super thin. As I write this review I can hear every word of the television show being watch in the unit above me, every word of their personal conversations, and every foot step they take. It’s as if we are roommates. Parking sucks. There’s no limit to how many cars each person can have and parking is not policed. At one point there were 3 disable vehicles (flat tires and all) taking parking spots close to my building. They have not moved in weeks. I notified the staff and it was at least 3 months before anything was done. Speaking of the staff the lease consultant are useless. They don’t know what the heck is going on and they will tell you anything to get you out of the office. There is no feeling of community at North Hampton and there are quite a few shady characters that live there. I wish I did little more research before signing the lease. Lastly you pay for all utilities including trash, which is ridiculous because it seems as though the dumpsters are always full to the point where people begin dropping there trash in piles around the designated area. Happy hunting in your apartment search. If you’re considering North Hampton then your search is far from over. Don’t make the same mistake I did.
