The York Towson, towson-md

Received several weeks of annoying, robo emails from “Liam” about a mysterious $125 outstanding balance. After several weeks, someone finally responded to my request and contacted me to explained the $125 outstanding balance was for repairs to unit after move-out inspection. Two scuff marks on the walls and settlement/stress cracks on wall near the window. My issue is being charged for settlement/stress cracks which are a direct result of renovation/repairs done by the York prior to move-in. My daughter in no way caused settlement/stress cracks to unit. The York is taking advantage of their young college clientele. Highly recommend shopping around before settling on the York.

*bugs all over the bedroom* *dog shtt on the floor in the living room and roommates bedroom* Moved my son into this place on the day of this review, August 20th 2026. I will amend this review according to a resolution. The staff was friendly and helpful. However.....there is no way this apartment was cleaned prior to move-in. There was mail on the counter that dated back to late 2025 including someone's medical records and what looked like a court summons. The kitchen and living room floor had crumbs, grime, and dried shoeprints, and was just dirty. The rug in my son's room was not vaccummed at all assuming the place even does this to begin with....hairs, crumbs and small pieces of trash. A toothpick with what looked like dried food from a tooth and small piles of pubic hair. We vaccummed and sanitized what we could but it's a very thick carpet. Most critically is that we found several dozen bugs crawling the walls and bed. They look like carpet or pantry beetles. A maintenance request was made but this, to me, is inexcusable, let alone for day 1. Moving on, the fridge had food in it that, after saying something to staff was promptly removed....two milk gallons that expired in March 2026 which turned yellow and stunk terribly. Cream cheese that expired in February 2026. A can of opened dog food and some other random expired food. The ice tray in the freezer was full of food particles and had orange slime. I cleaned this up myself as well as sanitizing the kitchen area. I was told, when I mentioned about the disgusting food, that since two tenants were already there, no one goes in to clean...yet if people did actually reside there at the present time, why would food be in the fridge that was nearly 5 months old and a pile of mail be present with postmarks from last year?...makes no sense whatsoever. I don't need something to be spot free and perfect nor want the assumption that this is an apartment full of college students. What I would like is a response with a proper actionary plan to mitigate and correct what matters most, which are bugs in the bedroom, and who knows wherever else within the walls. So, after setting up his room, he came back home for the night rather than staying at the place we're paying for given the bugs on the walls. We counted nearly 60 of them. So for now, I give this place 1 star and nothing further. For what is nearly $1600 a month, this is pathetic.

I would not AT ALL recommend living here. Staff tend to give you different answers on parking (which will be an additional 100/month even when not attached to your building) and not try to help you after the fact. The building itself is cheaply constructed, part of my wall has had a massive crack that has not been fixed & I guarantee I’ll be charged for it when I leave, dishwasher doesn’t run properly, seal on fridge is broken and maintenance did not replace it..etc. People allow their pets to use the bathroom in the hallways and not pick it up, and after WEEKS the York finally decides to clean it up by rubbing it into the carpet :) Trash rooms are regularly full of so many trash bags that you can’t even use the chutes, tenants are constantly running in the hallways which would be fine if you couldn’t hear every step someone takes (walls are extremely thin.) The common area is locked at night so you likely aren’t able to access the 24 hour gym after a certain point. Your water will likely not be hot your entire shower, it gets cold around the 10 minute mark usually. Overall, it seems that this complex just wants to extort college kids & their families for as much money as possible with the least benefit to them. It can be nice to be able to walk to places in uptown & Towson’s campus, but it is SO loud almost every night so just not worth it. Wildly expensive for a cheap living experience.

I’ve had a great experience living here! The amenities are nice and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The apartment is conveniently located close to grocery stores, the mall and the Towson University campus. Would recommend to other students looking to live off-campus but a close walking distance to school.

Do not live here! I have lived in this place for the past year and it has been the worst living experience I have ever had. You pay way too much for what you get. The trash rooms are always filled with trash so you can’t even get into them to properly use the trash chute. There is dog poop in the hallways. The building always smells like weed and your room will smell as well. Loud music and screaming all night long no matter the day. They say the courtyard is closed after a certain time but that’s a lie, people are out there all night every night. Your room is the size of a shoebox. I’ve complained about all of these things the past year and they don’t do anything. Oh, and when you move out they will charge you for things that were there before you moved in. This place is a complete scam. Live somewhere else!
