Yorktown Estates

I have lived here several years . Overall I have been very pleased with my stay here. Maintenance is available 7/24. I guess. They carry a phone for emergencies. The staff is pleasant and accommodating. The grounds are well maintained. The public areas are well kept in the buildings. The only issue I have is what was stated in a previous review. If you die your next of kin will be liable for two months rent unless you plan wisely and die in the renewal month. All the appliances are basic models. The interior spaces are becoming dated. And so are the a/c units. Majority of them are as old as the complex about 20 years old. So not as efficient. The units are not checked for refrigerant unless you request it. Safety is good. The buildings are locked and a buzzer system allows entry. No surprise visitors. No dogs allowed on the property. Can have up to two cats. Overall I would recommend living here.

My mother lived here. We always paid 6 months in advance. We were paid through August 2019. Called them end of March to tell them my mother was terminal, cancer, did we have any options (they would only release her to assisted living, she couldn't walk) I was told no. My mother passed 4/23/19. I called they didn't care but they made me pay for May and June. Of course they had the money because I prepaid. They called me June 20 to see if I could turn in keys 6/25 even though they charged me through 6/30. I turned my keys in 6/26. I hired a cleaning service to clean their ridiculous list and today received the deposit refund minus 15-20 min per room for "additional cleaning". Seriously even if you die while living there they still want their 2 months of rent plus some. Stay away.

ONe of the nicest, generous places I've ever lived. Maintenance was always prompt, Office staff very friendly and very nice surroundings.
