Hathaway Farms Townhomes at Northampton

Outstanding cozy townhome with all the amenities and great maintenance team. We move in on September 1, 2024 to a newly repainted and super clean townhome. Our 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath unit is perfect for the two of us. Having a full-sized washer and dryer in the half bath is great. The kitchen appliances all work well, and the 5-burner gas stove is fantastic. We can walk to everything on the rail trail network: parks, groceries, doctors, dentists, hospital, parks, restaurants, and downtown... Northampton. The maintenance team is friendly, responsive, and amazing! Very glad to call this our home! Lee mas

Had a good layout, maintenance guys were nice! Liked the location as well

The only thing luxury about Hathaway Farms is the rent :

The windows and plumbing are from the 1970's

The North side of the complex borders the Northampton Housing Authority projects, and can be noisy especially during the Summer. Avoid that whole side.

The walls between apartments are not sound proofed, at all. If you have a loud neighbor, you will be uncomfortable.

Fridays during the Summer expect mowing and blowing noise all day starting around 7:30AM, which is a real nuisance if you work... from home.

Dumpster area is gross. Don't rent near it!

Rent increase during the pandemic has been unreasonable. Also, if you cannot sign an additional year lease expect to be demanded to pay an exorbitant month to month rent. Perhaps, if you expect to stay an additional year the Landlord will put in writing a reasonable rent increase and/or month to month rent increase before signing lease and moving in?

The employees in the office, and maintenance staff are excellent. It's one of the few positive aspects of Hathaway Farms. However, a number of maintenance staff have left and have not been replaced. So the maintenance crew seems very stressed.

Overall, our experience over was unsatisfactory. So we left. Lee mas

Living here for 5 years has been a dream. The entire staff know me by first name and vis-a-versa. Maintenance -no problem; things are generally fixed the next day! My 3-BR townhouse is filled with light from the extra large windows, yet offered wonderful privacy by mature shrubbery and trees (my cat is a window sitter and loves to watch "our" squirrels). Rooms are spacious, love my 5 burner gas stove, and the trim work around doors and windows is well above standard. Closet space and storage is... more than ample. This is luxury design and living. Gas heat forced air and dryer are blessings. Lee mas

This apartment complex used to be full of families, quiet, and the rent was reasonable (although still on the high side). Just this year they have implemented a 25% rent increase, which increases rent on a 2 bedroom by $500. My neighbors and I are quickly moving out - you see good families leaving every day.

Even if you are willing to pay an exorbitant amount of money for rent, know that the apartments marked luxury are just "lipstick on a pig," the crappy structure just being given a fresh... coat of paint (that chips).

The dumpster situation is ridiculous, it is always overflowing with trash, it smells, and there are tons of animals crawling around in it.

Don't rent here. Lee mas
