It's obvious the last two positive reviews are FAKE due to the timing of them being on the same day. Looks like management is getting a little scared that the online reviews are starting to affect their number$. tsk. tsk. The other negative reviews a...

Save your time and money! Don't rent here, I am leaving as soon as my lease is up not to mention WRIT has changed the lease and I will not be allowed to renew my lease(because I have two dogs)once my lease is up. Also don't bother reading any reviews...

Do not even think of renting here. No matter how much cheaper it may be or how nice it looks, just don't do it. We have been here for almost 4 years and cannot wait for our lease to end. Our stay here was enjoyable under Buzzuto management, but our e...

I moved to the Paramount when one of the other properties in Crystal City attempted to raise my rent by $300 per month. I think the Paramount is a great value given its location and the size of the units. The staffing is probably somewhat less conven...

The building is very well maintained and is has a great location. The Paramount employees are extrememly helpful.

They have raised the rent about 30% in 3 years and not improved the overall living situation. Unsatisfactory.

I originally moved into the Hampton in July of 1985. In 1989 I moved from a 2br/2bath to the largest 2br/2bath which I continued to occupy until January 2011. In January 2011 I downsized to a 2br/1 1/2 bath. As I approach the end of my 26th year at t...

You cannot beat this location/price combination. Everything else around here is minimum 2000$ for a two bedroom. We have 2 beds and 1.5 baths, and the apartment is very spacious. I'm actually hoping to move into a full 2/2 with two other people, beca...

I don't live here (I move out about 6 months ago), I regret I moved. Was nice, cheap place to live with friendly new staff. I would suggest hamptons to people looking for great place for live in.

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 t...

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.

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 s...

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!

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 5th floo...

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 large...

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.

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 ne...

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. ...
