Why Choose Yorketown?
The Yorketown neighborhood in northern Manalapan offers easy access to Route 9. The development’s location is fantastic for numerous reasons. It provides easy access to New York City for commuting. You can pick up the bus nearby that takes you directly to Port Authority.
It is also near Gordon’s Corner Road, where you will find shopping plazas with a Dunkin’ Donuts, CVS, Jersey Strong fitness center, a deli, a pizzeria, and more. Moving here, you are truly in the heart of town and only a few miles from the newly opened recreation center. The rec offers various facilities, including basketball, football, and soccer fields, a playground, basketball and tennis courts, running and walking trails, and a splash pad. This is where the high school football games are held, the summer recreational camp is hosted, and other events throughout the year.
A Snapshot of the Homes
The homes in the Yorketown neighborhood were built in the mid to late 1960s and are all single-family homes. There are various styles of homes, such as colonial, split-level, ranches, and bi-level. Most homes offer between 3 to 5 bedrooms, a few of them offer basements, and all have either 1 or 2-car garages. As you can see, as we look around the neighborhood, they are all situated on nicely sized lots and offer plenty of space for outdoor activities and amenities.
All utilities in the development are public, and here in the township, your weekly trash removal is included in your property taxes.
