About this Area

Located in Aurora’s eastern corridor, Southshore offers a lifestyle second-to-none. The centerpiece of Southshore is the Aurora Reservoir with a gorgeous Lakehouse overlooking the expansive 800-acre lake. This impressive recreational attraction offers a kayaking lake, a saltwater swimming pool, numerous activities for kids and adults, and a daycare program. The reservoir offers non-motorized boating, fishing, swimming, scuba lessons, and picnic pavilions. It’s truly a resort-style lifestyle complemented by excellent nearby conveniences.

The community’s private Senac Lake and Boathouse are for the exclusive use of Southshore residents. The Boathouse includes a wonderful deck and cozy interior space that’s ideal for parties, family functions, and other gatherings. During the summer, paddle boats are available for use on the lake.
