Raising a family in Hampton — thoughts?

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem improving.

I've been here 8 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is walkability. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the public transit is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is better than expected.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The East side vs the South side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Feel free to reach out with questions..

The food scene here is improving. Tons of great farm-to-table places. I'm still on the fence after all this time.
