In Aurora Highlands, established homes are situated just minutes from major shopping hubs, verdant parks and one of the region's largest employers, Buckley Space Force Base. You can enjoy easy access to popular trails and green spaces all within a few miles of southeast Aurora.
The community has a diverse housing scene, with a variety of single-family and multi-family options. Many split-level and ranch-style homes have tidy lawns shaded by mature trees. "Most homes were built throughout the 1970s and 1980s,” says Gina Moritzky, a local Realtor with eXp Realty. "Some homes in Aurora Highlands are older, they sit on larger lots, and most have 2-car garages,” Donna M. Jarock, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty who has been selling homes in Aurora for the last 27 years, says. “Homebuyers find the larger lots to be an appealing aspect of the neighborhood.”
While most houses don’t fall under a homeowners association, folks living in subdivisions like Sommerset Village and Deer Pointe pay monthly fees for amenities like outdoor pools, fitness centers and the maintenance of public green spaces. “Houses in Aurora Highlands are considered very affordable compared to Colorado Averages,” says Moritzky. “There are a lot of multi-family options as well, which are great for first time buyers or anyone looking to live by themselves in a one-bedroom.” Single-family homes start in the upper $200,000s to the upper $500,000s, while condos and townhomes range from around $100,000 to $500,000s.
The Buckley Space Force Base has over 15,000 employees, many of whom live in Aurora Highlands. “This is a great location for people commuting to the Space Force base,” Moritzky says. “It’s right outside of the neighborhood and is just a few minutes away.” Denver Tech Center, another employment hub, is about 10 miles away, and locals can access bus routes from East Mississippi Avenue and South Buckley Road. Denver International Airport is around 16 miles north, while drivers can head 20 miles northwest to downtown Denver via Interstates 225 and 25.
The Aurora area is known for its parks and open spaces. You can sign up for youth and adult sports leagues through the City of Aurora, from tennis and volleyball to tee-ball and kids’ flag football. Other nearby recreation includes:
Locals can head to Buckley Road or Mississippi Avenue for a meal out or to do some shopping, with supermarkets, local eateries and nationally known chains all within a few miles. Piazza’s Sports Bar offers crispy chicken wings and pizza and hosts pool tournaments. Six Capital Brewing is a local favorite with Colorado-brewed beers and southern-inspired, slow-smoked barbecue. Towne Center at Aurora is a large shopping center around 4 miles away.
Families in Aurora Highlands are served by the Adams-Arapahoe 28J School District, locally known as Aurora Public Schools. The district is known for its hands-on and career-based learning initiatives and partners with the Community College of Aurora for its tuition-free concurrent enrollment program. Three public schools lie within the neighborhood, and well-maintained sidewalks and minimal traffic lend to the walkability.
