I am coming from out of state and I have a work project in the York area in September and October and I'm looking for short term rentals (furnished). I found :
As possibilities. Mainly need safe and clean but a pool and such would be a nice bonus. Anyone familiar with these properties or at least the neighborhoods or have any other suggestions? I would prefer to be on the western side of town just to make getting to York a bit easier but mainly want a safe place that is clean. Thanks!
When we first moved down here in 2006 we lived in Gable Oaks in a first floor apartment on a three-month lease. I can tell you they are NOT as nice as those in the pictures on the website. At least, in 2006 they weren't. Maybe in the past 8 years they've had a major overhaul and turned luxury.
Things from our experience (again, this is eight years ago, so YMMV if they've upgraded the facilities and the quality of renters):
Cons:
1) The front door had a 1" gap at the bottom, resulting in bugs crawling in at their leisure at all times
2) The walls were so thin we could hear our next door neighbor when she was putting her children to sleep at night (and I mean we could hear the ENTIRE CONVERSATION). Result? We whispered a lot when we lived there.
3) We had a grill on the small back patio which was stolen, as was my husband's bicycle.
4) We would get ants in the bathroom off the master bedroom all the time - don't know why (it's not like we kept food in there)
Pro:
1) At the time they offered short-term leases, which was beneficial for us. We signed on for 3-months initially and hated the apartment so much that we really stepped up our househunting game, landing a house and timing closing to take place just before the lease ended. We moved out the day before the lease came to an end.
2) Getting onto I77 was a dream because it was right.there. My commute to my job in Charlotte was reasonable from these apartments.
Thanks!! That is the kind of information I am looking for!! I don't like bugs so that will be something to check for. If you have any other suggestions of places to consider, I am open to those too! I put out emails to these places but I have not heard back yet.
I am only familiar with Forest Oaks and that is when they were new. My son and a friend lived there and it was a nice place. I don't know about now, but it is in a safe part of town and it appears they keep the property up. My niece and her husband lived in Village Station Apartments for three years and at that time it was nice (been several years.) That is a good neighborhood too. But I don't know if they offer short term rentals.
