About this House

What's unique:Spare roomOak mantelsBay windowsLarge eat-in kitchen
The historic Aurora Townhouse is a must-see downtown gem. This beautiful, spacious, rarely-available 1,100+ sf apartment is one of only five in the entire building and features bay windows, oak mantels, large eat-in kitchen, washer/dryer, spare room and more. You'll be steps away from restaurants and other amenities and conveniences: a streetcar stop is across the street which will take you all over downtown, Over-the-Rhine and The Banks for free. Kroger's is 3 blocks away. People tell us The Aurora is the cleanest building they've seen in their Cincinnati apartment search. Cats are okay. Sorry, no dogs. One year lease. Rent substantially reduced with a two-year lease and excellent credit score.

    "It’s a safe area if you live here you will most likely live in an apartment or taller house. Not very family friendly but there are great attractions very close like the art museum, findlay market, and other great things to do with kids. Most people work here but I live living downtown "

    "Unfortunately, sometimes dogs are unleashed, although park rules state all dogs must be leashed. Otherwise, people pick up after their pets for the most part and overall the area is fairly dog friendly. "
