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.”

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

  • Open floor plans
  • Large closets
  • Washer and dryer hookups

  • 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.
