Nela Manor is an historic restoration housing project of the Community Health Center Foundation. These 35-units of one, two and three-bedroom apartments are located in three buildings located on West Market Street in Akron and serve as the Southeast Anchor of the Highland Square Historical Improvement Project. Each unit has been substantially remodeled to return this historic landmark to its 1935 splendor.

Originally designed as garden apartments in the early 1900's, this complex is designed to provide quality housing to low-income families. Nela Manor adds historic value to the community, and enhance the historic improvement project by greatly improving security and reducing criminal activities in the Highland Square Corridor.

The Nela Manor Apartments are subsidized through project-based Section 8 certificates. Over 90% of the current residents of Nela Manor earn less than 35% of the Area Median Income (AMI) for Summit County. The housing complex will be preserved for low-income individuals who are eligible for section 8 certificates.
