About Aurora

Aurora sits just east of Denver and covers a large stretch of the Front Range, making it one of the most populous cities in Colorado. It borders Denver to the west and extends toward the open plains to the east, giving residents access to both urban conveniences and wide-open space. Major highways and light rail connect Aurora to downtown Denver and Denver International Airport, both roughly 20 to 30 minutes away depending on where you are in the city.

Housing in Aurora spans a broad range — from established older neighborhoods closer to the Denver border to newer master-planned communities on the eastern edge. Areas like Painted Prairie, The Aurora Highlands, and Conservatory Green represent that newer wave of development, with thoughtfully designed streetscapes, parks, and trail systems built into the layout from the start. You can explore some of these neighborhoods through local video tours on this channel, including a look inside a former model home in the Conservatory neighborhood with upgrades well beyond the standard finishes.

Day-to-day needs are well covered across most parts of the city. Aurora has a strong retail and restaurant corridor along several major roads, plus access to medical facilities, parks, and recreation centers. The High Line Canal Trail runs through parts of the city and connects to a regional trail network. Reservoir and open space parks add outdoor options that are hard to match this close to a major metro.
