Housing & Dwellings in Hampton
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
A typical monthly mortgage payment of $3,000 makes Hampton one of the most expensive places to live in the region. The area is defined by high housing costs that sit far above both state and national figures. This expensive market is reflected in both the home loans and the high weekly rents paid by residents.
