MAA Hunton Park

The location is nice and the units are spacious, but unfortunately that’s where the positives end.

The initial move-in special is appealing, but rent was increased by 20% (about $300) at renewal. When I asked about negotiating or receiving any concessions, the request was declined. There is also no grace period for rent — if it’s not paid by the first, it’s considered late.

Utility costs have been consistently high because the units do not have heat pumps and rely on emergency heat. As a... result, electric bills are very expensive. On top of that, hot water only lasts about 3–5 minutes at most. I’ve submitted multiple work orders, and while I’m told the issue is fixed, the problem continues and I’m still unable to take a normal-length hot shower.

If you work from home, be aware that the required $70 internet package is unreliable. I experienced several outages and ultimately had to purchase additional service through Xfinity to maintain my job. When I requested a credit for the inconvenience, I was given $20. Management later sent a mass email stating that if the internet goes out, residents must contact Pavlov Media directly, as it is not their responsibility.

Overall, while the property looks nice, the rising costs, utility issues, and lack of support have been disappointing. Read More

Resident of 1.5 years. Pros: grounds are well maintained, repairs are performed efficiently, no problem with pests other than occasional ants.

Cons: They include the cost of the most ridiculous internet service into your fee (it’s spotty at best. If you work from home and rely on sound internet, look elsewhere). The windows are all single pane and in the winter the condensation is awful…mold!

There is no car wash/car care center as advertised. Gate codes will randomly not work and you have to wait for someone to leave

Poorly managed and maintained. No grounds keeping, ants in bathroom on second floor right when we moved in. 3 months later, still ants. Management can’t seem to u seat and why I don’t want to have ants in my bed at night. Windows don’t open…. I’ve been in 3 different units… they all don’t open and have mold around them at move in. Terrible carpentry work around the base and crown molding. Looks like my college dorm. Light outlets painted over. Door hinges painted over and falling off. Toilet... wobbly and not attached to the floor.

Feel free to experience it yourself! Read More

We just received our renewal offer, which was 11% higher than our current rent. The market average rent increase from 2017-2022 was 5.77%. When I attempted to negotiate the rate, I was told “there is no negotiation room for your renewal offer.”

I strongly encourage those considering the Hamptons at Hunton Park to look elsewhere.

It is an undeniably beautiful community, but when you’re priced out of your own home and the property management (MAA) refuses to negotiate in good faith, you’re left... looking for a new home a year later. Read More
