Aurora, Residential city in Portage County, Ohio, United States.

Aurora is a city in Portage County, Ohio, situated between Cleveland and Akron. It spreads across residential neighborhoods with maintained green spaces.

The Aurora Center Historic District displays buildings from different time periods that shape how the neighborhood looks and feels. This architecture shows how the town developed over time.

Visitors can walk through the maintained neighborhoods and find several parks and green spaces for outdoor time. The city has good schools and community facilities that support daily life.
