Friendly Village is a close-knit manufactured home community on the outskirts of Aurora ’s industrial district. Snowbirds are common, though there are also plenty of year-round residents, many of which work in the nearby manufacturing and distribution centers. The neighborhood is also within a mile walk of Aurora’s extensive trail system.
Most of the neighborhood’s manufactured homes were built between the 1970s and early 2000s and range from 900 to 1,500 square feet. The properties offer minimal yard space, but small landscaped gardens and mature trees provide greenery. “Manufactured home communities offer a great lower-income snowbird setup since your neighbors can watch out for your place while you’re away,” says Realtor Jason Morris of eXp Realty, host of the Living in Aurora Colorado YouTube channel. “It’s also an accessible option for homebuyers who can’t qualify for traditional loans.” Homes range from around $50,000 to the mid $100,000s, with prices increasing with square footage and modern appliances and interiors.
Friendly Village offers private community amenities to its residents, including two outdoor pools, a playground, volleyball and basketball courts and a clubhouse that offers occasional group fitness classes. The neighborhood also has well-maintained sidewalks throughout, that provide walkability to community recreation and nearby trails.
East Colfax Avenue is a major thoroughfare and can take locals to shopping centers and restaurants in less than 10 minutes. “Proximity to Colfax and Interstate 225 makes it a really convenient area,” says Joshua Zelcer, a Realtor with Brokers Guild Real Estate and a member of the Aurora Chamber of Commerce. “Colfax is going through a big revitalization effort right now” Plans are in place to increase safety, add affordable housing and improve business opportunities along the commercial corridor. Two miles west of Friendly Village, Chambers Plaza has a King Soopers for groceries and Mi Pueblo Market for international produce. Mama Alvino’s is a popular spot for pizza and classic Italian Fare, while El Pelicano is a Mexican eatery known for its seafood dishes. Additionally, the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital is about 3 miles away.
Regional Transportation District operates bus routes across Denver and Aurora, with nearby bus stops along Colfax Avenue and Airport Boulevard. Downtown Denver is around 15 miles west, with Interstate 70 serving as the most direct route. For commercial flights, residents are only 13 miles from Denver International Airport.
Natural areas and athletic facilities are in abundance in Aurora, with the expansive Aurora Sport Park featuring 12 baseball diamonds and over 20 multi-use fields. The 250-acre Star K Ranch lies just northwest of Friendly Village, with walking trails and picnic shelters in a natural setting. “The neighborhood is in a pretty diverse area that has good access to open space that not many other places in the city have,” says David Footle, a Natural Resource Technician for Star K Ranch. Visitors can explore the trails and learn about the local wildlife at the Ranch’s Morrison Nature Center. Footle continues, “We see a lot of wildlife in the open space. We have native prairie dog towns and nesting birds of prey. We currently have a pair of nesting bald eagles.” Additionally, the neighborhood lies near numerous walking trails.
Aurora Joint School District 28 serves Friendly Village, with most students attending the nearby Altura Elementary School. East Middle School offers a middle years International Baccalaureate program and offers over a dozen clubs and extracurricular activities. Older students can attend Hinkley High School, which has a variety of career-based courses in entertainment, business and technology.
