Copperleaf transformed from a pasture to a vibrant neighborhood

Copperleaf is the product of a radical transformation. “Before they built up the area, Copperleaf was just a cow pasture,” says Heather Henry, broker associate with EXIT Realty DTC. “Now, there are so many housing options that it can easily meet the needs of many different homebuyers.” With local schools and tons of neighborhood parks within walking distance, Copperleaf offers buyers a cohesive sense of community in picturesque Southeast Aurora.

Spacious homes with porches and patios

Homes in Copperleaf are mostly larger, Craftsman-style builds set on gently curving streets, although you’ll also find new construction townhome and condo options. The combination of traditional and modern styles helps broaden Copperleaf’s appeal, making the neighborhood even more attractive to buyers. As a master-planned community, many of the detached homes have similar layouts, but individual details like creative landscaping and natural stone accents help these spacious properties stand out. Cozy, covered front porches often overlook petite but manicured front lawns, and lots are large enough to accommodate backyard dining patios. When it comes to pricing, buyers should expect to find four-bedroom homes listed between $600,000 and $800,000, with condos and townhomes on the lower end of that range.

Walkable streets connect parks, trails and playful sculptures

Cruising the sidewalks, you’ll notice simple touches that make a big impact on the community’s warm and inviting feel. Delicate leaf cutouts pepper the wooden fence line, casting elegant shadows that dance with the daylight. Many homes are framed by perky saplings which will continue to grow alongside the neighborhood, eventually shading the narrow flower beds lined with spring-blooming shrubs. With so much walkability, you can easily make your way to one of the neighborhood parks, most of which are surrounded by homes. At Western Park, you can enjoy the landscaped lawn and play area before heading across the street for a refreshing dip in the pool at the Copperleaf Community Center. From here, you can cross Copperleaf Boulevard and commune with nature at Cottonwood Ecological Park, which is dotted with larger-than-life insect and animal sculptures.

If calm trails are more your style, you’re in luck, as the Copperleaf Canyon Trail weaves its way through the neighborhood’s greenbelts. Head out on the trail in the morning with your pup to reach the Copperleaf Bark Park, where you’ll be greeted by a friendly black lab sculpture as you enter the large off-leash area. You’ll also find miles of natural and paved trails surrounding the Aurora Reservoir, which sits about 5 miles east. As one of the city’s premier outdoor recreation areas, the reservoir invites visitors to spend a day sunbathing on the beach, fishing from the dock or testing their skills at the on-site archery range. And on the Fourth of July, you can gather with your neighbors at one of the local parks to watch the explosive fireworks display as it rises above the nearby Arapahoe County Fairgrounds.

Eaglecrest High offers career-focused academic programs

Many students will attend Mountain Vista Elementary School, which sits within walking distance of homes on the community’s east side. Most students will move on to attend Sky Vista Middle School, which maintains a grade of B+ on Niche, before moving on to Eaglecrest High School. Maintaining a grade of A- on Niche, Eaglecrest helps students work toward future careers by introducing specialized programs that focus on global studies, journalism and science.

Southlands mall offers dining, movies and retail variety

After a busy school day, you can treat the kids to a fresh pie from the local Marco’s Pizza or grab groceries from the Walmart Neighborhood Market next door. If you’re in need of a more intense shopping trip, you can make the short trek down E470 to Southlands shopping center, an open-air mall that’s basically a mini town itself. Here, you’ll find everything from groceries to shoes, along with a host of popular restaurants and a massive movie theater. If you’re looking for a contemporary community with a cohesive feel, you might feel at home in Copperleaf.
