Redwood Living, Inc. Earns Recognition for Eight Neighborhoods in 2026 State ORA® Power Ranking 

Eight Redwood Neighborhoods have earned recognition in the 2026 State ORA® Power Ranking, released by J Turner Research in partnership with Multifamily Executive. The annual ranking recognizes the top apartment properties in all 50 states and the District of Columbia based on their Online Reputation Assessment (ORA®) scores. 

Redwood earned placements in Illinois, Michigan, Nebraska and Ohio, achieving an average ORA score of 95.1, well above the statewide averages of 63.6 to 65.33. Among the highlights, Redwood Fox River Grove in Illinois and Redwood Copley in Ohio each secured the No. 2 position in their respective states, while five Redwood Neighborhoods ranked among the top five. 

The recognized Redwood Neighborhoods include: 

The State ORA® Power Ranking evaluates apartment communities based on their ORA scores, a standardized measure of online reputation. To qualify for the 2026 rankings, properties needed an ORA score of at least 75 and a minimum of 20 online reviews as of September 2026.  

“Creating a remarkable place to call home has always been central to what we do at Redwood, and it’s gratifying to see that reflected in our residents’ feedback,” said Steve Kimmelman, founder and CEO of Redwood. “These rankings represent the hard work and commitment of our Redwood Ambassadors and the relationships they build with residents every day. We’re proud to see eight of our neighborhoods recognized and appreciate the teams who made that possible.” 

This latest recognition builds on Redwood’s strong showing in J Turner Research’s 2025 Elite 1% ORA® Power Ranking, announced earlier this year, in which 15 Redwood Neighborhoods earned a place among the nation’s top conventional apartment communities. Together, these achievements reflect the strong online reputations Redwood Neighborhoods continue to build and the consistent efforts of teams across its markets.
