DO NOT RENT FROM THE HAMILTON COMPANY! No matter how "nice" their apartments may be. I lived in one of their Cambridge apartments with my fiance for 2 years. If we had not signed a 2 year lease initially we would have been out of there after the first year. They sent us notices with charges that we had never HEARD of and threatened to evict us 4 times (we paid rent on time EVERY month). Their accounting department is incompetent...if we weren't organized and observant we would have paid them about $700 more than we should ha... read more

I live at 40 Boylston and it is AWFUL. It should basically be a dorm for the awful Emerson undergrads because they treat it like one. Besides the totally disrespectful slamming of doors and loud music and parties, they smoke pot and cigarettes constantly and the walls are so thin here it drifts in to my apartment. There is nothing the management can do since they all do it in their apartments so I'm screwed. DON'T LIVE HERE if you ever want to get a good nights sleep or don't like getting high in the hallways.

Awful! I lived in a Hamilton Company apartment for about 11 months and couldn't get out soon enough! My roommate and I were consistantly ontime with our rent and received at least 4 notices threatening eviction for failure to pay. When we would call, frantically concerned and requesting a call back immediately, we never heard back. We had to pester them until finally we spoke to someone who nonchalantly informed us that it was an error on their part. Nice of them to let us know the problem was taken care of. Furthermore, we ... read more

They may have some good properties at good locations with decent aesthetics. However, I've lived in a Hamilton Company apartment for two years and the whole time I've had nothing but trouble. They are disorganized (they would cash my rent check and then threaten to evict me for non payment!), dishonest (they will straight up lie to get you out of their office) and things seem to be getting worse over there. If something breaks, or you need something replaced, just fix it yourself because it will never get done through th... read more

I have never been treated and spoken to worse by a company! I was parking in the Winslow parking lot in Brookline and had arranged with Christina to receive guest parking stickers every month to allow my boyfriend to park in the spot occasionally to save me the walk from his apartment. The first few months things were working great, I'd call Christina and then I'd receive the guest stickers a few days later. Then May rolled around, I called her and no sticker. I called a week later - I did not actually receive the guest s... read more

I lived in their property on harvard square for a year. All i can say is, the people at the office are well meaning and generally sound like they want to do their work. but the SUPER is SUPER lazy and WILL NOT get anything done for days. it took 2 months to get somethings fixed in the kitchen and bathroom done. the kitchen roof was not fire proof and ortiz tried convincing us that it was. the company changed it. bottomline: do not move here unless you have patience for an extremely lazy and inefficient, ineffective super. I ... read more

Alas, I'm in the market to move again and upon reflection of apartments past (about 10 in the past few years if you count my moves to CA and FL), I've realized that Hamilton Company was one of the good eggs in my moving/living basket. I lived in one of their properties (South End) less than 2 years ago and they are definitely on the top 3 list of landlords "on their game". After dealing with a horrible realtor, they knocked down our rent. Although the guy said this was his doing.. I'm pretty sure HC did it after they found o... read more

The only reason these guys are getting three stars is because the first year I lived in my apartment they were pretty good. Usually when I would call, they would be over within a few hours to fix whatever was wrong, they let me renegotiate the terms of lease when I resigned it, and the apartment was a good size for the price and location. Then year two rolled around. Now it's pulling teeth to get them to do anything. Regardless of how many times I call, things are seldom fixed in my apartment. There are construction workers... read more
