Redwood Living, Inc. • August 1, 2023

Redwood's remarkable growth continues in the Chicago market with two more neighborhoods.

Ohio-based developer and manager of single-story apartment homes, Redwood Living, Inc., is building on its residential offerings across Chicagoland, adding 319 apartments in two new neighborhoods.


“On the heels of welcoming Redwood’s first Chicago-area neighborhood in Lockport, we are thrilled to enter two new communities and offer residents a unique and remarkable rental experience,” said Steve Kimmelman, CEO at Redwood. “We are confident that the growing populations of Volo and Oswego will embrace Redwood’s single-story approach to apartment living and find these new residences fill their complete lifestyle needs.”

Redwood’s two new area neighborhoods include:


Redwood Volo

Location: 901 Wood Rose Drive

This neighborhood is located at the northeast corner of N. Ellis Drive and N. Gilmer Road, offering convenient access to local shopping and dining establishments, as well as Wauconda Area Public Library and River East Public Library. Residents can also enjoy nearby Fish Lake Beach, Marl Flat Forest Preserve, Volo Sledding Hill, Singing Hill Forest Preserve and the Volo Antique Auto Museum/Jurassic Gardens.

Unlike traditional apartment complexes, Redwood’s signature design feels more like a single-family home thanks to the single-story floor plans, attached garages and private entrances with dedicated street addresses. Every Redwood apartment home includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms along with a two-car attached garage complete with ample storage.


Additional advantages that come with living in a Redwood apartment include spacious eat-in kitchens with large pantries, open floor plans, large closets, washer and dryer hookups, full-size appliances, vaulted ceilings, bonus living space, personal patios and pet-friendly accommodations, among others.


Redwood has developed and manages more than 15,000 apartment homes in 120+ neighborhoods throughout the Midwest and Carolinas, with more Chicagoland projects on the horizon.
