September 27, 2024Living at Redwood We lived at Redwood for five years and loved it there. The management was great and the maintenance especially Rudy but he left about a year ago. Our neighbors were all super nice and friendly. I would recommend Redwood Altoona as it is a nice place to live. The only reason we moved was for health reasons.Property Manager Responded

August 6, 2024Great Transitional Living Redwood was great for transitioning into a home but maintenance could be hard to get a hold of and sometimes communication with the office was a struggle. The units feel like their own and like a home.Property Manager Responded

Stove not heating correctly
April 12, 2024They responded the same day. Was the new maintenance person, sorry. I can't remember her name. She was awesome, she tested the oven and it worked. We haven't used it in awhile, but the last time we used it, i was baking porkchops and after an hour I had to moved them to the toaster oven. Of course it appears to work now. So, we will try it again. She said if it still isn't working she'll be back. She was very nice and professional.Property Manager Responded
