Yorktown is a charming 55+ community tucked away in Jamison, Pennsylvania: and it’s one of those RARE finds we absolutely love showing to our clients. With just 60 attached homes built between 1998 and 2000, this intimate neighborhood offers everything you’d want in a lock-and-leave lifestyle without the overwhelming size of larger communities.
We’re The Swain Team, and we’ve helped countless Bucks County seniors discover their perfect retirement home. If you’re tired of yard work, snow shoveling, and endless home maintenance, Yorktown might just be YOUR answer. Let us tell you why!
Why Yorktown Stands Out
Here’s the thing about Yorktown: it’s SMALL, it’s COZY, and homes here go FAST. We wish we had more inventory in this community because it truly checks all the boxes for active adults who want simplicity without sacrificing quality of life.
What makes Yorktown special:
- Only 60 homes means you actually know your neighbors
- Attached homes with slab foundations (that’s right: NO basement to worry about!)
- Built between 1998-2000, so you get well-constructed homes without the “brand new” price tag
- Resale-only market, which means you’re buying an established community with a proven track record
- Full-time activities director who actually keeps things interesting
- HOA handles the hard stuff so you don’t have to
The Lock-and-Leave Lifestyle You’ve Been Dreaming About
Let’s talk about what really matters: YOUR TIME and YOUR FREEDOM. At Yorktown, the homeowners’ association takes care of common area maintenance, lawn care, and snow removal. That means no more:
- Hiring landscapers every spring
- Worrying about who’s going to shovel when you’re visiting the grandkids in Florida
- Spending your weekends doing yard work instead of doing what you LOVE
- Stressing about exterior maintenance
The Swain Team has watched our clients literally transform their lives when they make the move to communities like Yorktown. Suddenly, they’re traveling more, joining clubs, and actually ENJOYING retirement instead of maintaining a house!
Your New Home at Yorktown
These attached homes are designed for comfortable, low-maintenance living. Since they’re built on slab foundations, there are NO basements to maintain, waterproof, or fill with stuff you don’t need. (Let’s be honest: when was the last time you actually needed everything in your basement?)
The homes at Yorktown offer:
- Open floor plans perfect for entertaining
- Single-level or two-story options
- Attached garages (no more scraping ice off your windshield!)
- Modern kitchens and bathrooms
- Plenty of natural light
- Energy-efficient construction from the late 1990s
We love showing these homes because they’re RIGHT-SIZED for this stage of life. Not too big, not too small: just PERFECT for active adults who want comfort without the burden.
Amenities That Actually Get Used
Some 55+ communities have fancy amenities that look great in brochures but sit empty most of the time. NOT at Yorktown! With a smaller, close-knit community, these amenities are the heart of daily life:
The Clubhouse and Amenity Center includes:
- Multipurpose room for community events and gatherings
- Card room (bridge games happen weekly!)
- Fitness center to keep you active and healthy
- Walking and biking trails throughout the community
- Parks and natural spaces for peaceful outdoor time
Because Yorktown has just 60 homes, you’re not competing with hundreds of other residents for treadmill time or activity slots. The Swain Team loves this intimate setup: it means REAL community connections, not just waving to strangers in a massive development.
Location, Location, Location!
Jamison is one of those perfect Bucks County locations that gives you peace and quiet WITHOUT isolating you from everything you need. Yorktown sits just minutes from Doylestown, putting you close to:
Shopping and Services:
- ALDI and GIANT Food Stores for groceries
- Target for household essentials
- Walgreens and CVS for prescriptions and convenience
- Local restaurants and cafes
- Banks and post offices
Healthcare Access:
You’re never far from quality medical care, with Doylestown Hospital and numerous specialist offices nearby. This is HUGE as we age: having trusted healthcare within a short drive provides real peace of mind.
Entertainment and Culture:
- Historic downtown Doylestown with galleries, shops, and dining
- Easy access to major highways for visiting family
- Day trip distance to Philadelphia, the Poconos, and the Jersey Shore
The Swain Team always emphasizes location because it matters MORE as you age, not less. Yorktown gives you the best of both worlds: a quiet, residential feel with everything you need within a 10-minute drive.
The Reality of Yorktown Inventory
Let’s be completely honest with you: homes at Yorktown don’t sit on the market long. With only 60 homes in the entire community and the resale-only market, we’re often working with clients on waiting lists or jumping FAST when something becomes available.
This is one of those communities where The Swain Team needs to act quickly on your behalf. When we say homes go fast here, we mean it: sometimes within DAYS of listing. If Yorktown sounds like your kind of community, we need to start the conversation NOW so we’re ready to move when opportunities arise.

Who Thrives at Yorktown?
Based on our experience working with Yorktown residents, we’ve noticed certain personalities absolutely LOVE this community:
You’re a great fit if you:
- Want a smaller, intimate community where you recognize faces
- Value LOW MAINTENANCE above all else
- Don’t need or want a basement (seriously, it’s liberating!)
- Enjoy social activities but also appreciate privacy
- Want to be part of an established community with character
- Prefer attached homes for added security and efficiency
- Love the idea of “lock and leave” travel freedom
You might want something different if you:

There’s NO wrong answer: The Swain Team just wants to match you with the RIGHT community for YOUR needs! If Yorktown isn’t the perfect fit, we have plenty of other 55+ communities in Bucks County to explore together.
Understanding the HOA at Yorktown
One question we ALWAYS get: “What exactly am I paying for with the HOA fee?” Great question! At Yorktown, your HOA covers:
- Common area maintenance and landscaping
- Snow removal from driveways and walkways
- Exterior home maintenance
- Clubhouse operations and utilities
- Activities director salary and programming
- Community reserves for future improvements
Think of it this way: instead of writing separate checks to landscapers, snow removal companies, and handymen, you’re paying ONE predictable monthly fee. Plus, you’re gaining HOURS of your life back every month!
The Swain Team can provide specific current HOA fee information and help you understand exactly what’s included when you call us at 267-397-6291.
