Yorktown Continental Apartments 7151 York Avenue South, Edina, MN 55435

"10 years ago last March I moved into an elderly building owned and ran by a wonderful caring man, Archie Givens. Had I known at the time it was being sold to Premiere Management, and what the next 10 years would bring, I would have kept looking. The wonderful caring community that Archie had nurtured for 40 years was systematically dismantled, from small things like voluntary pay coffee in the dining room replaced by vending machines. To selling off part of our property to build an elderly building blocking us from direct access to the street and shops beyond. Our front door is now placed at the back of the building beside the dumpsters which adds a distinctive odor which defines the building. To sum up, we have had a bed bug infestation starting before the pandemic. We have another new manager who seems to care, but those who do never stay long. The best I can say about this place, it's better than being homeless."

"This is a great apartment building to live in if your not afraid of heights . very clean, smokers free. perfect for all the smoke free who don't like cigarette puffers"

"Everyone is afraid of Shelly the manager here. She ignores resident complaints. Place is full of bed bugs and mice. Shelly should be replaced as a manager. I was told a lot of miss information from her. I was only there 8 months and moved out. Mouse problem was never resolved in my apartment. The one I saw was a baby. Not good! Deposits are not returned. One elevator is not working consistently leaving only one for 237 people."

"Update 8/24/18; Well new management did a bunch of upgrades so real nice but it is no longer a senior living space. They'll let anyone move in now... and I mean anyone. I've seen the police out in the parking lot many times when I go to visit my mom. I hear it is mostly domestic stuff and possibly a little bit of drug or alcohol related stuff which sometimes go hand in hand. In my opinion, if your looking for a place for your older parent I would say look somewhere else. I still think my mom is safe there but I wish she would move. She says, "at my age, why?" I say, "because you have always wanted a balcony!!!" My 80 year old mother has lived in this apartment complex for well over 10 years and absolutely loves it, however it is in need of some major upgrading (old noon-efficient toilets, old cabinets and kitchen appliances, etc...). Currently, i am very disappointed to hear my mothers apartment thermostat currently is ready 56 degrees and the minimum heat requirement for this time of year is 65 degrees. She had also asked, a few times, to have her a/c unit coveted, to help keep the cold out, and after 4 days it still had not been addressed."

"Used to be great; now construction has taken over, trees removed (to be replaced with smaller trees), water shut off, phones shut off all the time due to construction. Wait until the construction is done before stepping a foot in the front door."
