Yorktown Colony Apartments

This place is terrible. The maintenance of the properties is horrible. The fake wood and weird plastic laminate on the walls of my apartment were peeling and the windows didn't open when I moved in. These things were never addressed after I turned in my move in report. The communication from the office is absolutely abysmal and they refuse to let you speak to a manager. I am escalating to a one star review of the property after being refused to speak to a manager on multiple occasions regarding... a dispute. The lack of communication from a professional company that houses people is absolutely disgusting. I would suggest you stay VERY far away from this property. Lee mas

Maintenance does preventive care of apartments. Complex is always clean and quiet. There's a park across the street and nice pool too. No complaints here

I was a student at Wright State when I first stayed here. I had a roommate and we stayed in a 2 bedroom. The only negative thing I can say is that there was a couple of ladies who work in the leasing office that was a little rude. With that being said, the majority of the ladies who work in the office were extremely nice and friendly! Maintenance was always quick to respond to complaints. They even offered a discount to students and military. For the overall low price, the apartments are very... nice compared to other locations. They also have a lot of space. I was very pleased with Yorktown and I am currently looking to rent another Yorktown Colony apartment. If you are looking to rent and aren't sure who to trust or where to look, I believe Yorktown Colony is the best in the area. Lee mas

I live in the 2BV/CHARLESTON Model with my fiance, and have really enjoyed my time here. I feel the rent is affordable, with all that is included (water/trash) and the apartment is in a great location, right off Springfield, close to downtown and right next to the Air Force Museum.

The office is quick to respond to any issues (ie shoveling snow/salting the sidewalks), and is keeping the property up to date. Just this year they announced they are going to upgrade the laundry rooms with... reloadable cards, instead of coins!

I also love all the space in the apartment. The style we went for are all on the first floor, with no neighbors above or below. The walls are also super thick, and I haven't heard any music/talking from my neighbors, which is wonderful. Our power bill has been pretty decent, and the a/c and heater in the unit are fantastic!

The few issues I have are very minor, and I think forgivable considering the cost, the size of the unit, and that we are a couple and not a family. The first is the water tank seems to run out of hot water pretty quickly. I prewashed dishes with hot water shortly after my fiance took a shower, and the hot water ran out before I could run the dishwasher. But the water has yet to run out while I'm showering, which is great because I do take longer showers.

The floor shakes a bit when you walk, as there seems to be some sort of empty crawl space under the length of the apartment, and sometimes we can hear the crashing/thunking of our neighbor stomping around. But I'd prefer that over hearing them blast music/talking loudly, and it's not as big a problem in the bedrooms, which are at the front of the apartment and not against the wall of our neighbor's. Lastly, the insulation isn't the best, so the apartment can get pretty cold, so running the heater can suck up a lot of power. Be prepared to maybe put in some insulation inserts into the windows, if you don't care about having a view.

Otherwise I've super happy with this apartment! Lee mas

Quick summary: good for college kids and military, but you may experience some issues depending on your neighbors. Some pet owners refuse to pick up after their pets which is frustrating. Decent park and dog park across the street. Relatively safe neighborhood. Did not have many problems until my last year at Yorktown. Maintenance and the office are nice, fast, and efficient.

It gets two stars because of my frustrations regarding the office and complaints about our pet that turned into pet... violations. These complaints were not true and I can prove it, I won't bore you with the details but I am an extremely responsible pet owner and apparently the 15 other pet owners in our building were not so we got blamed. Also, our neighbors gave us bed bugs because they were living with them so long that they had spread throughout the building, no we did not pick them up on our own, you would not believe how many they had, we could see into the apartment while they were treating it. The complex did, rightfully, pay for this but it was a nightmare that I never wish to go through again. Also, I'm 99% sure the man below us dealt drugs out of his apartment. And there is a huge pack of feral cats that some neighbors insist on feeding and building make shift homes for that will scratch up your car and try to attack your dog. Some pet owners let their animals out without a leash which is not allowed by apartment complex or state laws and some of those animals constantly showed aggression against my pet and I which was a bit scary.

It is a cheap apartment complex and worked well for me for three years but the last year was awful and I want everyone to be aware of what they are possibly getting themselves into. Lee mas
