Hamden Hall Review

The unit itself is okay. Management does not maintain the property well, e.g., trash everywhere, broken hand rails, broken doors, flooding, etc.

Also, people's cars get broken into all the time and I can never order anything online because the package will always get stolen.

Hampden Hall - CWE

The apartment itself is great and super affordable. There aren't amenities attached, but with law school I wouldn't really have the time to use them anyway so it's perfect for me because it makes the rent cheaper. Older building with a lot of charm, great views, sunlight, and there is a "neighborhood" feel in the surrounding blocks. I love that it's so close to the CWE. Only about 10/15 minute drive from the school and within walking distance of Forest Park!

Overall a Good Place to Live

The building is located behind the basilica in Central West End—about a 10 minute drive from the law school and a short walk from restaurants/bars. All of the units have been recently remodeled.

Water is included in the rent, but everything else (gas, WiFi, etc.) you deal directly with the utility company. Limited garage parking is available and I would recommend it as convenient street parking might be difficult to come by on weekends and weekday evenings.

I haven’t had many maintenance issues, but the company has been responsive the few times I needed assistance. They usually take care of problems within 24-48 hours.

Great Building

Beautiful, quiet neighborhood and building. A little pricy, but the location and privacy is great.

About Central West End

Central West End is, perhaps, the most popular neighborhood in St Louis. The neighborhood borders Forest Park, home to both the St Louis Zoo and the Art Museum, and quite a few other activities, including mini golf, hiking, and boat rides on the lake. Central West End is also home to the Cathedral B...

I absolutely love the Central West End and recommend it to everyone in St. Louis. In my eyes, there's really no better place to live, unless you are looking for something a bit more budget friendly, and in that case head to our wonderful neighboring community of Tower Grove! The Montclair and Park Frontenac are very affordable options in the CWE. The CWE is filled with beautiful historic homes and buildings. You could spend years learning about all the history of this place. It's also the most walkable neighborhood of STL and you have dozens of bars and restaurants out your doorstep. Also, plenty of spas, fitness centers, doctors, and even Barnes Jewish Hospital all in the area. Forest Park is steps away making the CWE the best place to live! There is still a bit of crime on the outskirts of the CWE (and it has increased with Covid), but the community hires extra security that walk and patrol every night, and the whole neighborhood is very well lit. If you are smart and aware, and avoid walking alone late at night, it is very safe. I have yet to feel in danger in the past 2 years. Highly recommend!

The Central West End has a young professional vibe and feels more like a big city than other areas of St. Louis. Apartments in CWE can be a little more expensive than similar apartments in other areas of St. Louis, but the proximity to the law school, public transit, Forest Park, and night life can’t be beat.

The Central West End is the ideal because it is both entertaining and very safe compared to other parts of the city. On the weekends especially, there is a lot going on here. Many of your basic needs are within walking distance, and if not, they are only a short 5 minute drive away.

I prefer living in the CWE as opposed to downtown area. There are a lot of young professionals, grad students, professional students, etc. in the area. It is just a block away from the Basilica, which had added patrolling security, making the area feel very secure.

Love the central west end, it is such a cute area with lots of places to walk to. I think it allows me to separate work from school because its about 10 minutes away from downtown.

This place is really cool to be next to. I love being within walking distance on coffee and the library. There are also a number of nearby grocery stores and restaurants.

The neighborhood is extremely safe and beautiful. The apartment is within short walking distance of Forest Park and the main part of the Central West End
Reviewed by WashU Law Student living at Fairmont Apartments
There's always something happening in the CWE; it's a big social hub. It can feel (and is) unsafe at some times and in some places.
