Urban Park Towers, located on 77 Main Street in Lockport, has been in the community for approximately 20 years. The location is ideal for residents with or without transportation. We are within short walking distance of the city market, banks, shopping, and several restaurants.

Because security is such an important issue today, we have installed security cameras in the building to monitor the building and the individuals entering and exiting. We are able to record 24 hours a day.

Urban Park Towers is a concrete structure high rise with 14 apartments on each floor. We have a total of 150 units in our building. The two elevators in our building have been upgraded since they were originally installed when the building opened. The front entry doors now have push-button automatic openers. Our resident apartments are freshly painted before move-in. Each apartment has a living/dining room, kitchen, full bedroom and bath. All apartments have ample closet space, which includes a large clothes closet. Each apartment has its own electric stove and two-door, frost-free refrigerator. There are large sliding glass windows in both the living room and bedroom, with white thermal draperies.

Our resident apartments are fully carpeted in both living/dining room and bedroom. The kitchen and bathroom have tiled floors. Cable connection is available for a monthly fee. Each apartment has emergency pulls in both the bedroom and bath, a smoke detector, a deadbolt lock and a peek-hole on the entry door. We also have an air-conditioned laundry room with cable TV on the second floor for resident use.

During the warmer weather, a freestanding air conditioner is permitted in individual resident apartments if it meets the specifications as set by management. There is a minimal monthly charge assessed for use of air conditioners. Outside we have picnic tables and benches, outside grill, wooden swing gliders and seating areas available for the residents and their families.

We have ample designated parking in the city parking ramp (conveniently located next door) four our residents at no cost. Located at the front of the building is a newly remodeled sitting room. Urban Park Towers also has 2 air-conditioned community rooms on the second floor. One is a sitting room with a TV and the other is a puzzle room. They have both a snack machine and a pop machine there.

On the lower level is a larger community room with a small kitchen for resident use, where activities are held. The Niagara Nutrition Program also serves meals there Monday through Friday. This program is open to all residents in the building and their families. Family members need to sign up ahead of time, and can join the resident for lunch at Urban Park Towers. The residents are asked to voluntarily donate $2.00 for their meal if they are able to do so. Resident family members are charged a $3.50 fee.

A security deposit is required before move-in; the deposit is equivalent to one months rent. Urban Park Towers is under the Section 8 government subsidized rent program. Residents are allowed to have a small pet. A pet deposit is required for either a dog or a cat.

Because we are a private housing community, we are not related or associated with the Lockport Housing Authority. Application must be made directly through the Urban Park Towers Rental Office, not the Housing Authority. Be sure to give us a call to see if you qualify for an apartment and can benefit from the affordable housing we offer. Our rent structure is based on the same program rates as the Housing Authority.
