Overview & Location
The Hamilton is a student-housing property located in Kansas City, Missouri (ZIP 64109). It offers studio and apartment unit types and lists on-site amenities including a gym, laundry facilities, and a swimming pool. The property is currently marked as not available on the platform, meaning that as of the data date, no active vacancies are being listed. The building has a Google rating of 3.8 out of 5 based on 38 reviews. The surrounding city of Kansas City contains at least 33 student-housing properties, with the lowest monthly rent among them starting at $745 (indicative — confirm with the operator).
Who This Residence Suits
The Hamilton may suit students and young professionals who value having an independent living space in a central Kansas City location, and who are willing to pay a premium for studio and apartment-style units. The presence of a swimming pool and gym on site suggests the property caters to those who want recreational amenities without leaving the building. The laundry facility adds convenience for tenants who prefer not to rely on external laundromats.
Given the mixed reviews, residents who are not easily bothered by hallway odours or occasional pests might still find the unit itself acceptable — especially if they prioritise quick resolution of maintenance issues (one positive review highlights a professional installation job). The property could work for someone who needs a short-term lease or a flexible move-in date, though the current “not available” tag means it is not immediately open for new tenants. If the property reopens, it would be suitable for individuals who are comfortable living in a building with some reported upkeep challenges.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
The Hamilton is unlikely to suit anyone with a low tolerance for sanitation or pest problems. One current resident reports a “sewage overflow” and a “roach infestation,” while another mentions hallways that smell. These issues suggest the building’s common areas and plumbing may not be consistently maintained. Individuals with respiratory sensitivities or those who are easily stressed by maintenance emergencies should carefully consider these accounts.
Additionally, the resident review that calls the rent “pricey” for the quality indicates the property’s pricing may be out of line with what it delivers. Budget-conscious tenants should compare the actual (unlisted) rent against the city’s starting price of $745/month. If the Hamilton’s rent is higher, it may not represent good value for a property with reported hygiene and pest concerns. The property also may not suit those who require immediate move-in, as its current listing status suggests availability is limited or nil.
What Residents Actually Say
The following three reviews were sourced from Google and are reproduced verbatim (with no alterations other than minor truncation of one comment where the reviewer stopped mid-sentence).
Jay Ellisor (Rating 1/5):
“Sink overflowed with sewage due to a backed up pipe. Ruined all the dishes in my sink with human waste. Sewage got on a bunch of my personal items and I had to throw them away because they were contaminated (pictures bags below) My kitchen floor was coated in sewage that I had to clean myself. Health hazard alert. Main”
Danny Pierson (Rating 5/5):
“Larry showed up and did a professional job at the installation of ac unit. He did better than the one before my new window installation. I could see he took pride in his work cause he also cleaned up behind himself when I told him he didn’t have too”
SUS GOD (Rating 2/5):
“im a current resident at the hamilton. if you want a rational review here it is. they should definitely lower the rent and change the way they market this place because youre not going to be too happy. the hall ways smell, the place has a roach infestation, its pricey for the soul fact its not well kept. the first day ”
These comments highlight a sharp division: one tenant had a severe sewage event, another describes a persistent cockroach problem and high rent, while a third praised a specific maintenance worker. The wide gap in experience suggests that building management may respond inconsistently to issues. Prospective renters should weigh these accounts heavily.
Price Positioning vs City’s From-Price
The Kansas City student-housing market has a minimum listed monthly rent of $745 (indicative — confirm with the operator). The Hamilton’s actual rent is not provided in the available data, but based on resident feedback — one calls it “pricey” — it likely falls above that city floor, possibly significantly so. The property offers studios and apartments, which in many markets command higher rents than shared rooms or en-suite rooms. Without a quoted range, you should contact the operator to obtain current rates and compare them against the $745 baseline. If the Hamilton’s rent is, say, $900–$1,200 per month, it may be priced above the city median for a building with documented maintenance complaints. Always confirm the total monthly cost, including any separate utility or amenity fees.
Room-Type Guidance
The Hamilton lists two unit types: studio and apartment. A studio typically combines sleeping, living, and kitchen areas in a single open space, while an apartment usually has separate rooms (though the exact floor plan may vary). Studios are generally more affordable than one-bedroom apartments in the same building. If you are a solo occupant who values privacy and a compact footprint, a studio might be the better choice. If you prefer a separate bedroom or want to share with a roommate (check whether the apartment is designed for multiple tenants), an apartment could suit you. Because the property’s availability is currently flagged as “not available,” no specific units are being advertised. When the property reopens, ask the operator for floor plans, square footage, and whether the apartment units are single-occupancy or shared.
Booking Timing
As of the data date (July 2026), the property shows a “not_available” tag, meaning it is not currently accepting new bookings through the platform. This could be due to temporary closure, full occupancy, or a pause in listing. If you are interested in The Hamilton, monitor the platform regularly or contact the operator directly to learn when units become available. For properties that have limited stock and sporadic availability, it is advisable to begin your search 2–3 months before your intended move-in date. If The Hamilton reopens, act quickly because the building may fill up — especially given the limited number of units (the exact count is not disclosed). For alternative options in Kansas City, the 33 listed properties provide a wider selection; you can compare prices and reviews to find a residence that is actively leasing.
