The Complete Guide to Living in Aurora Colorado (From Local Realtor Irving Gomez

If you’re researching living in Aurora Colorado, there’s a good chance you’ve already seen how fast this city is growing. As Irving Gomez, Realtor Denver, and an Aurora Realtor who’s worked across the entire Denver Metro area, I can tell you this: Aurora is one of the most underrated places for families moving to Colorado.

Here’s the complete guide, built from years of showing homes, walking neighborhoods, and helping relocating families through Beyond Closing Real Estate.

Aurora Has a Neighborhood for Every Lifestyle

Aurora stretches far and wide, and every pocket has its own personality.
You’ll find:

  • Quiet suburban streets

  • Brand-new master-planned communities

  • Custom homes on larger lots

  • Affordable starter home neighborhoods

  • High-end luxury pockets near Southlands and Tallyn’s Reach

Whether your budget is in the mid-400s or pushing into luxury, Aurora gives you options.

Schools That Draw Families In

The Cherry Creek School District is a massive reason families choose Aurora. Strong academics, great sports, and parent-driven communities create an environment families love.

As a Denver Metro Realtor, I constantly see families pick Aurora specifically for CCSD.

Outdoor Lifestyle (This Is Colorado, After All)

Aurora surprises a lot of relocators with how much outdoor space it has.
You get:

  • Aurora Reservoir

  • Miles of paved trails

  • Beautiful parks

  • Open space woven through neighborhoods

You don’t have to drive far to enjoy sunshine or nature.

Convenience + Location

DIA, E-470, Southlands Mall, restaurants, groceries, coffee shops — all at your fingertips. Aurora is connected without feeling crowded.

Why Families Love Aurora

It checks the boxes: affordability, location, schools, safety, and space.
If you’re relocating to Denver and want a place that balances price and lifestyle, Aurora deserves a spot at the top of your list.
