If you're in Cleveland and can't afford to live near the Cleveland Clinic, you may want to consider moving to Aura at Innovation Square, a new $26 million apartment complex that's set to open in 2024, Cleveland.com reports.
The complex, which will feature 82 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments, was built by the George Gund Foundation, the Cleveland Renaissance Development Corporation, and PNC Bank.
