Hampton Farms

It’s really close to campus and the apartments are really big. However, they are on the pricier side.

I'm now a 4th year medical student and I've lived at Hampton Farms since I started medical school in Fall 2020. The rent is high, that's my only complaint. I love being able to easily walk to Albright (UKCOM location on NKU campus) so that's worth it to me. My husband and I can jog over to the NKU gym and back whenever we want and I can walk over for events and don't need to buy a parking pass. The management and maintenance crew at Hampton Farms are so amazing - they are always so kind and do their best to help us out with anything we need as soon as possible. They also do lots of fun events like pool parties, spooky balcony/patio decorating contest, etc.

I live in a renovated unit and I have loved it! The kitchen appliances are new and work well! The rooms are a nice size and the living room has hard wood floors. The management has been kind! Overall my experience has been good!

The staff at Hampton Farms are always incredibly easy to work with. The are is overall pretty quiet, and the surrounding areas are well-kept. We do live in a renovated apartment, so I would recommend going renovated vs. unrenovated. Close to school and close to Kroger and restaurants.

The maintenance here is outstanding! Any issue I have had they were immediately available to fix, including an emergent leak. I chose an apartment that was not renovated to save some money and I have heard that I may be asked to move out this summer so they can update it.. so looking back I may have chosen an already updated one if that is the case. Besides that I really like it here and have had zero issues. The walls are not thin either so I never hear my neighbors next door or upstairs which has been an issue for me in past places. Definitely quiet enough to study at home.

I have enjoyed my time at Hampton Farms. You cannot beat the close proximity the campus. It is a nice environment that feels safe and the grounds are well kept (grass, pools area, and shared areas).

I have a 1bed/bath with a den. The den is a study room for me which is super nice to keep studying contained.
Maintenance is super responsive!
The pools and gym are wonderful!

This apartment complex is good for being within walking distance to UKCOM-NKY campus, Kroger, and some nearby restaurants. A little dated in some units but others are being renovated. Overall, great experience. There are two pools, and gym and laundry in the club house. There is also washer dryer hookup in the apartments, too.

The rent is high but it appears to be pretty standard for apartments this close to NKU campus. I am happy to pay more to live closer - I really enjoy having the option to easily walk to and from campus whenever I want (~0.75mile to Albright). Our maintenance crew is great - if I have any problems I just submit a maintenance request and they usually get it fixed within a few hours. Electricity and internet are not included in the rent so it might be difficult to do as one person but it works really nicely for me living with my fiance. I cover the rent, he covers electric, internet, groceries, etc. I have a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, + den floorplan on the 3rd floor. Almost all my floors are carpet which my cat really enjoys. I have a balcony off the living room and there is plenty of room to grow a small garden. There are two pools and a small gym that community members get access to anytime and there are also various events and fundraisers every now and then. We really like it here and the staff has been super friendly.

My family enjoyed our time here, probably because it was within walking distance to the NKU campus and because maintenance was SO responsive. The pools were great too!

Some cons: management wasn't super clear with communications regarding monthly rent, so sometimes we would get a paper in our door saying, "hey we've tried to reach you for 30 days but we haven't heard anything so we're going to evict you soon if you don't give us money," which would be poorly received because we definitely DIDN'T get anything from them.
Another con: the apartment complex doesn't do many social activities, so don't anticipate making a lot of friends here unless you go out of your way!
