South Aurora

The City of Aurora has undergone a truly amazing metamorphosis over the past 20-30 years to become a great place to live for singles, couples, families, and active retirees. Located east of Denver on the high plains, Aurora is the third largest city in Colorado and offers a great location just minutes from Denver International Airport. The former farm and ranch community is now filled with exciting amenities, including world-class golf courses, shopping malls, more than 5,000 acres of open space, hiking trails, over 100 parks and more. The Aurora Reservoir offers non-motorized boating, fishing, a swim beach and other water sports, including scuba diving classes, kayaking, and windsurfing.

The 220-acre Aurora Sports Park is a huge facility offering 12 baseball fields and 27 soccer and multi-use fields. The diverse city showcases nearly every type of restaurant imaginable, and the sprawling civic center is complemented by such industries as aerospace, renewable energy, bioscience, healthcare and more. The Stanley Marketplace is a renovated former airplane hangar located on the former Stapleton Airport land. Residents can enjoy numerous bars and pubs, retail stores, fitness centers, and facilities for a wide range of events.
