[Business Wire](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261023713030/en/) published the announcement on October 23. The gated community sits in West Sacramento's Southport/Bridgeway Island area, across the Sacramento River from Downtown Sacramento.\n\n## Independence Opens With 208 Rental Homes\n\nIndependence offers two- and three-bedroom homes ranging from approximately 1,176 to 1,722 square feet, with private entrances, direct-access one- and two-car garages and private outdoor living spaces. The leasing office and models at 3350 Freedom Lane will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. beginning October 24.\n\nHomes include quartz countertops with full-height backsplashes, stainless-steel ENERGY STAR appliances, induction ranges, French-door refrigerators, wood-style plank flooring, in-home washers and dryers, walk-in closets and smart-home technology. Garages include EV-charging capabilities, and select homes provide additional garage storage. Community amenities include a heated pool and spa with shaded cabanas, a 24-hour fitness center and specialty fitness studio, pickleball courts, outdoor barbecue and gathering areas, a fire table, dog park and dog spa, play area, package lockers and a Borrow-a-Bike program.\n\nIndependence in West Sacramento is Lewis' second Independence rental-home community in Northern California, following Independence in Dixon, which opened in 2025. \"The success of Independence in Dixon showed us there is strong demand for rental homes that offer more space, privacy and the features people value in a home, without giving up the flexibility and convenience of renting,\" said Randall Lewis of Lewis Group of Companies.\n\n## Lewis Apartment Communities' Portfolio and Independence Brand\n\n[Lewis Apartment Communities](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000fdke/lewis-apartment-communities) operates a multi-brand portfolio of more than 13,000 rental apartments, townhomes and single-family homes across 40 or more communities in California and Nevada, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The company is headquartered in Upland and has more than 40 years of experience in development and management of rental communities, the same records show.\n\nCompany records list the West Sacramento opening as a September 2026 expansion into a new Northern California submarket with a planned opening in Fall 2026. The same records describe the 2025 build-out of the Independence sub-brand for gated single-family rental homes across multiple communities, including Dixon, West Sacramento and The Preserve in Chino.\n\n## Where Independence Expands Next\n\nLewis plans to expand the Independence concept to additional Northern California markets, with future communities planned in Folsom, Vacaville, Fairfield, Newark and other locations.
