The Yards at Old State, state-college-pa

At first it was hate but now I admire the apartment. Yeah it’s got stains and trash but I’m from the city so nothing new in that category. The view of the area is amazing and the club house, pools and hot tubs are some good quality Amenities. I even had an internet issue that was troubleshooted in person by a nice tech. Thank you for the pizza

Lived here for 3 years and only moved cause I moved cities. Amenities and rooms are unmatched I wish I could’ve been there longer. Staff were always on top of it and so helpful when you needed them. Honestly no better value in happy valley in my opinion

The most ignorant, lazy and irresponsible staff i have ever seen. I don't care what facilities are there, i am obviously paying for it. What's the point if they sre not maintained or operated well enough ? It's the infinite number of small things that annoy you everyday and no amount of shiny coating can put it away. Here is my review, living here for 6 months and 5 more to go. - Walls : it's drywall and walls are too thin. There is absolutely no sound proofing in any room. If dryer inside a unit turns on, every room gets distributed. - Locker room: say goodbye to your on time deliveries. If it's not on your doorstep, it's in the locker room and the staff is super lazyy in arranging stuff. They take 2 business days to scan and assign locker to your package. Staff: If the clubhouse and gym is cleaned , staff is nice to you ,and trash is picked up timely , it is only during August -sept and jan-feb when new leasing term starts and new tenants come for a tour Gym : broken equipments, treadmills belts dirty, but hey ... we have a tanning room. Wifi : everyday at 4 pm , wifi goes slower than time dilation from gargangantua's pull. It's like they are trying to cut cost from every single thing they can find Heating unit: Absolutely outdated unit, produces a ton of static from the warm airflow in winters. Air vents : worst possible airflow .Why in the world would you want kitchen smoke to come out of vent in upper floors ? Roof : if it's windy, sleeping is a nightmare ( refer drywall and soundproofing in point 1 ) Snow removal: No snow removal from sidewalk fo more than 4 weekdays. It became ice and slippery. Management waits for sun god to do miracles make it melt at 23 degrees. Cost cutting: They will do anything to save on the most edge of things . Replace tap and shower heads to reduce flow and save water. So imagine the length they go to to squeeze out every penny. Study room in clubhouse: Printer does not work. They have ordered ink but it hasn't arrived in 5 months. I guess they sent out a troop of bees to handpick natural pigment from flowers, but have been captured by radical bee's group ' flaming dragons' and are holding them hostage until demands are met. Tldr, Just look for housing near Vairo Blvd. It' near to Walmart, clothing stores, ups dropoff, places to grab a quick bite. A hot tub and t.v is not worth the annoyance you'll get. But if you want a pool that'll anyway be closed in 3 months, a gaming zone where no arcade machine works, additionally delayed or misplaced deliveries, and a house that creeps you out on winter nights; you're welcome to stay here.

I have lived at The Yards at Old State for almost two years now, and I’ve already signed my lease for another year. It’s honestly one of the best places to live in State College. The houses are amazing, and the floor plans are very well designed, all at fair rates. If you enjoy running or staying active like me, there are many nearby places where you can run or bike, which I really love. The gym here is also well-equipped, which makes it easy to stay consistent with workouts. Another thing I really appreciate is the maintenance service. Whenever you need something fixed, you can submit a request in the morning, and it’s usually taken care of by the end of the day. That level of responsiveness makes a big difference. Overall, it’s a great place to live, and I would definitely recommend it.

I am a second year resident at The Yards and, unfortunately, cannot recommend this complex based on my experience. During my time here, I have encountered numerous ongoing issues, including frequent maintenance problems, extended WiFi outages, lack of access to laundry facilities for over a month, lost packages, disorganization within the housing office, limited access to amenities, and parking challenges. Most recently, I experienced a serious issue with rent payments. Although I am enrolled in a third party split payment plan, the full month’s rent was withdrawn from my account without notice. The payment system still reflects an upcoming scheduled payment, while the unexpected withdrawal has left my account overdrawn and accruing daily fees. Despite reaching out, the finance department has stated they are unable to resolve or reimburse the situation. This is extremely challenging, considering I am an independent full time student that needs to work full time to just make ends meet. After this event, I am now unable to pay any further bills now that my account is over 1k in the negatives due to this problem. No student should be forced to give up generalized necessities over a payment mistake with a college apartment housing office. Overall, I have found a consistent lack of accountability in addressing both operational and financial concerns. This situation has caused significant financial hardship, impacting essential expenses such as insurance, phone service, and groceries. For those seeking reliable off-campus housing, I would recommend exploring other options. Based on my experience, The Yards has not met reasonable expectations for service or support.
