Announcing Redwood's First Neighborhood in Illinois

Ohio-based owner and developer of single-story apartment homes, Redwood Living, Inc., will welcome residents to its first neighborhood in Illinois this summer.

Redwood will begin pre-leasing for the new neighborhood in June, and the first residents are expected to move in by August. Monthly rent will start around $2,100.

 

“We could not ask for a better place to welcome our first Chicagoland Redwood Neighborhood,” said Steve Kimmelman, CEO and executive chairman of Redwood. “Lockport is a city with a rich history but also a strategic vision for the future. We are thrilled to offer residents a new take on apartment living coupled with our unmatched ability to exceed expectations at every stage of the rental process.”

Redwood’s signature design offers the feel of a single-family home, thanks to its single-story, open floor plans, attached garages and private entrances with dedicated street addresses. Each of the six different floor plans available at Redwood Lockport will include two bedrooms and two bathrooms along with a two-car attached garage.

 

Residents can also expect:

  • Flexible lease terms
  • In-person, virtual and self-guided touring options
  • Spacious, eat-in kitchens with large pantries and extra storage space
  • Open floor plans
  • Large closets
  • Washer and dryer hookups
  • Full-size appliances
  • Vaulted ceilings
  • Upgraded finishes and features
  • Pet-friendly accommodations
  • Green-centric neighborhood setting
  • Bonus space that can utilized based on lifestyle needs, such as a home office or personal gym

 

Redwood Lockport is located at 17215 Juniper Drive. The neighborhood is ideally situated with nearby retail and recreation options along with convenient highway access. Interested prospective residents can get all leasing information, contact the team and pre-lease on the Redwood Lockport website.
