A taste of rural Aurora
Centretech is a marriage of Aurora's agricultural and military history. Nestled against the Buckley Space Force Base—one of the city's largest employers—Centretech provides residents views of the city's last remaining farmland. The neighborhood's ample walking trails and proximity allow for a life of convenience paired with the community’s know-your-neighbors mentality. “It is a very friendly community where people recognize and wave to one another,” explains Kristin Handsom, who works and lives in the neighborhood.
