What is the real benefit of moving to Rockwood Lane?

Rockwood Lane offers peace of mind for you and your family. Rockwood Lane’s non-profit status and refundable occupancy fee provide exceptional value for its residents. We guarantee a 90% return on the resale of your home to you or your estate. Rockwood Lane offers the freedom of owning your own space, but places the burden of maintaining it on us.

Are the units at Rockwood Lane for rent or for purchase?

The homes at RWL are not rentals; they are purchases of an “occupancy agreement.” This means you are not buying the “brick and mortar” of the building or villa, but rather you are buying a lifetime occupancy of the unit. This entitles you to live in the home as long as you like…for your lifetime, or until you choose to sell. Our representatives would be happy to provide you with more information, please call (509) 998-2198
