Hershey Heights

I do not recommend living here. While it is very close to Hershey Medical Center and downtown Hershey, it is very overpriced for the living situation. Many of the apartments are in major need of updates. For example, my apartment consistently has mold growing in every windowsill. I was told the windows would be replaced to fix the issue; however, the windows remained moldy for over 6 months. After reaching out again, I was told the windows were no longer getting replaced. The dishwasher also has… not worked in the entire two years of living here despite multiple trips from maintenance.

This is not the only circumstance where Hershey Heights proves they do not value their residents. Recently, after 2 years of residence, I have reached out four times regarding a recent issue that needed addressed and received no response back. Ultimately, this issue brought me to the point of ending my lease with Hershey Heights early. Read More

The apartment complex is quiet, beautifully landscaped, and conveniently located near stores, schools, and medical facilities. Great maintenance and office staff.

Overall I love living here, but I'll be honest in my review. I have a 2 bed 2 bath in one of the "showpiece" buildings

Cons:
- the interior is on the older side, don't expect granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, carpet is on the older side, but I've seen them replacing carpets when people move out recently
- during hot and especially cold months my electricity bill is exorbitant ($313 for December and I've had my thermostat and meter replaced)
- theres no pantry in the kitchen, I… converted my coat closet to a pantry

Pros:
- GORGEOUS neighborhood, they really keep up the landscaping and it feels like a little community
- my apartment is very spacious, vaulted ceilings, tons of natural light, balcony is very spacious, I also have a wood-burning fireplace which is awesome
- PLENTY of parking, it's never a problem
- very fast and efficient snow removal
- front office and maintenance are SUPER responsive and friendly. I've had all my maintenance requests answered same day if I placed them in the morning and they are quick to replace those old appliances if need be
- pet friendly, there a plenty of dogs around and owners generally do a good job of cleaning up after, although they could be better
- trash bins are abundant and is never a problem
- very convienent location if you work in Hershey, takes me 5 minutes to get to the med center and a brand new strip mall just opened within walking distance
- each apartment has its own private entrance which is so nice
- I almost never hear my neighbors
- the pool is beautiful, can get crowded when school is out
- very, very family friendly
- very safe, I've never experienced nor had neighbors complain of crime
- other than the lack of a pantry in the kitchen, there's lots of closet space and storage, my apartment came with an attic for storage
- for the space, the price is a great deal


I intend to live here for the entirety of my residency at Hershey Med Center I like it that much. My list above proves the pros far outweigh the cons here. If the interiors were more updated it would earn 5 stars. But I moved here from the DC area and it is by far my favorite apartment I've ever lived in. Read More
