Nothing beats the location. Being that close to the HEC and clinic is amazing.

You go here for the proximity to school. Rooms and amenities are fine. Gym is pretty basic but fine. Close to transit.

Innova is a very nice building located incredibly close to the CWRU Health Education Campus. The property manager and staff are all kind and helpful, and will get you the assistance you need in no time.

Innova is more pricy due to its location, but the connivence is unbeatable. If you are an incoming M1 to CRWU SOM, you can live here without a car and be totally okay. Innova also partners with a grocery delivery service (PrestoFresh).

I absolutely ADORE living at Innova. It truly saves so much mental stress to live right across from the HEC and be able to walk to school in under 3 minutes every day. The apartments themselves are spacious with very nice kitchens and bathrooms, and the roof deck/common areas are excellent. The concierge service is awesome and they handle package pickup, delivery service, dog walking, and so much! The only bad thing I can say about it is the price - it's not cheap, and it's definitely not worth it for everyone. Many residents and fellows live here in addition to med students and it seems like the prices are more tailored to them. If you have it in your budget and value living in a more upscale, modern apartment with many luxury options, it is totally worth it and makes the stress of med school that much easier.

A convenient and very nice place to live

The best thing about Innova is the location. Way overpriced, but right next to school and a relatively safe location. A roommate definitely helps offset the cost, but there was a lot of work with management at the beginning of the year to fix appliances.

I chose this apartment because I didn’t have many options during the start of Covid and it was convenient. However, it is way overpriced for what you get. The apartment size is rather small, and I have had multiple maintenance issues throughout my year and a half here. Also, we do not get to choose which network provider we use and are forced to use Snip Internet which constantly disconnects and has a weak signal. The elevators also seem to be out of order at least once a month.
Although, it is nice living in the same building as some of my classmates.

Innova's property is very secure, in fact, there are several checkpoints at which only residents can access to access the apartments. There is a checkpoint at the main door, elevators, and staircases to ensure that only residents are allowed up. The concierge/management is also around 24/7 if anything ever happens. Apartments are very new and updated, covered parking, new appliances, in unit washers and dryers.

There was recently a crime incident in the parking lot, and they did send out an email about general tips for staying alert, but they did not actually address the incident directly. I found out about it through the CWRU alert since it involved a Case employee, but I would have liked to know what the apartment is doing to prevent further issues. Overall I enjoy living here with my cat and look forward to staying for a while!
