This townhouse gives you everything you would need. Money paying gas and electric, water is included which is great! Rent for a 2br was under 800 for me which is hard to come across in Hampton. I have a living and dining room w/ 1.5 bath. Plenty of space for 3 people. It's near the interstate, takes me about 10-17min to get to work. School maybe 15-20 min.
But, now the cons.
Appliances need to be updated. Needs better maintenance. The drains always overflow, we've called over 3 times about
...this, he comes out and it works for about two days then they reclog. The top lock on the front door doesn't work. There's some spots in the ceiling of the smaller bdr that look like rain, but haven't noticed it grow since I've been here. The woman in the rental office has a pleasant voice but is very strict when it comes to rent. We were late on rent once, and we discussed not renewing our lease because of the area surrounding the complex. There were gun shots heard outside of the smaller bdr window which will soon be our nursery. And we voiced our complaints and asked about moving to one of her sister properties. She lied about what they offered (as she was telling me the prices and utilities, I grabbed a pamphlet with that information and it seemed like the same expenses in a better area). She didn't really sell the sister properties and when we told her we weren't confident about renewing our lease, she brought back up the month we didn't pay on time. It felt like a guilt trip and I didn't like that. We also had issues with wasps entering the house (my significant other has a deadly allergy to them) and we had to twist their arm for them to take down these wasp nests right outside of the bdr windows. We have also noticed spiders entering through the cracks of the back door. Another issue that will be notified. The kitchen cabinets give off a syrupy smell, I'm guessing because they're so old. But I'd really like to move somewhere better but with a baby coming and a restricted income right now, we may have to do another year here. If I had the funds, we'd pay a little more to leave. Good for college students and young adults for their first apartment to get their feet wet. The next place however will definitely be better!
