Towns at York Creek is a plan by Warehaus to build 62 single-family homes, mostly townhome-style, on about 5.1 acres in York City. County records describe it as a preliminary/final subdivision. That means the land would be divided into individual lots and the site layout approved in a single step. City documents place the site along West College Avenue near the creek, at an address listed as 550 W. College Ave. The same developer has a separate project nearby, The Lofts at York Creek, which converts industrial space into residential lofts.
City meeting records returned by search suggest the plan went to the Planning Commission in September 2025. They also suggest City Council considered a resolution in November 2025 to conditionally approve it, with waivers from some city development rules. Those waivers reportedly include setbacks and required open space, because the site is close to the creek. These meeting PDFs could not be opened and read in full, so these details and the final vote are unconfirmed. No news coverage, opposition or developer project page was found.
What it could mean nearby
- 62 new homes would add housing and residents to the West College Avenue area.
- Waivers on setbacks and open space, if granted, could mean tighter spacing and less required parkland on site.
- Siting next to the creek makes stormwater and flood-related review important, though no specific findings were located.
- Traffic, school and utility effects were not described in the sources found.
Where it stands
County records show a filing on 2025-06-02, and city records suggest conditional approval by City Council around November 2025, though this is unconfirmed. After conditional approval, the developer typically satisfies the conditions, then records the plan, obtains permits, and begins construction.
