Living at Redwood Altoona We lived there for 9 years and enjoyed every minute of it. Our home was lovely and bright. We lived near a pond and enjoyed the geese and ducks. Management and maintenance were always attentive and friendly. It was a great experience after selling our family.

Beautiful We had a wonderful experience dealing with Roman, he was so helpful and patient working with us, he was always available and helped us with all the paperwork and setting things up. Our home was so clean and everything I was hoping for, we have met some neighbors and they all love it here. We’re so excited for this new chapter of our lives. Thank you Redwoods and especially Roman!

Living 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.

Great 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.

Expensive, but very nice. The rent was a little high and had several add on monthly expenses. However, the staff was nice, the location was convenient and the place was updated.
