Hampton is an unincorporated community and a census-designated place in Baltimore County, Maryland. The population was 5,004 at the 2000 census. Hampton is often considered a subdivision of the nearby community of Towson and is located just north of Baltimore City, Maryland, about twenty minutes from downtown Baltimore. Hampton contains 635 residences situated on lots up to several acres in a park-like setting. The community is anchored by its principle landmark, the Hampton National Historic Site. The homes in the Hampton community range quite widely in price, design, features and lot sizes. The Towson United Methodist Church is located in Hampton, flanked on the south by I-695 and Goucher College.

History

In 1929 the Hampton Development Company was formed and the land around the Hampton Mansion site was subdivided, creating the Hampton Community. The Hampton Mansion remained in the Ridgely family until it became a National Park in 1948.

Recent developments

The Towson United Methodist Church announced plans in 2008 to sell convert|5|acre|ha of undeveloped, wooded property it owns on Hampton Lane to a developer, who plans to construct a senior housing complex there.cite news |author=Laura Barnhardt |title=Hampton residents fight development |publisher="The Baltimore Sun" |date=2008-02-18 |url=http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/baltimore_county/bal-md.co.hampton18feb18,0,5243251.story |accessdate=2008-02-19 ] A zoning change application has been submitted to Baltimore County officials to allow 16 residential units per acre (current zoning limits density to two residential units per acre). The president of the Hampton Improvement Association, representing neighborhood residents, said his group is "focused on the zoning issues and what that could do to the character of Hampton", saying they "oppose zoning changes that would allow higher density residential development and require trees to be knocked down". A spokesman for The Shelter Group, the developer, said they are cognizant of the neighbors' concerns and "look forward to coming up with a resolution that will work for everyone". The church's senior pastor, Rev. David Cooney, told the "Baltimore Sun", "We entered into this with Shelter, believing this is a good use for the land — that this is a good company and a needed service". The County Council will rule on the zoning change, after planning staff evaluation and public hearings, in September 2008.
