What makes Highland Park an appealing Aurora neighborhood
Highland Park is a residential neighborhood, located about 25 minutes east of Denver, in Aurora. Many single-family homes are lined along quiet streets, some that lead to golf courses, the High Line Canal Trail and that have public transit. The neighborhood provides a lower-cost alternative to nearby areas like Montclair and Lowry, while maintaining proximity to the shops and restaurants that make those areas popular.
Highland Park is a quiet neighborhood just 10 miles from downtown Denver.

Housing options in Highland Park include single-family homes
Highland Park has many single-family homes and a higher percentage of owned homes than nearby neighborhoods, such as Highline Villages. “[There are] a lot of ranches in this area; I’d say backed up by trilevels. It’s few and far between that we’re getting two stories,” says Cindy Dassinger, broker and owner of Metro Home Finders, Inc., who grew up in Aurora. “They have that late [19]70s early '80s vibe, where they have the cut design. They almost tried to go for midcentury modern.” Single-family homes are priced between the lower $300,000s and the lower $600,000s. Some townhouses were built to the southeast of the neighborhood in the 1970s, which range from the upper $200,000s to high $300,000s.

Highland Park offers a lower price entry point near Lowry
The median sale price is in the upper $400,000s, which is about $300,000 below the median sale price in Lowry. “It’s a great way to stay in a medium price area, but be close to all the amenities people are really trying to get close to […] Instead of getting into these larger prices per square foot you’d spend in Montclair or Lowry, you still get the same amenities by living near the Highland Park,” Dassinger says.
Outdoor amenities include golf courses and an aquatic center
The CommonGround Golf Course, in Sunny Vale, and the Aurora Hills Golf Course, in Aurora Hills, are both public courses that are within a 5-minute drive of Highland Park. Del Mar Park is an expansive green space in the northeastern region of the neighborhood. It is home to a playground, the Aurora Center for Active Adults and the Del Mar Park Family Aquatic Center. “I know that people really rely heavily on the Del Mar Park for that area just because it’s one of the quickest things they can walk over to from their neighborhood,” Dassinger says.
Residents can walk the High Line Canal Trail and navigate west to the Lowry Dam Trail.
Many Highland Park residents enjoy golfing at nearby courses.

From Sixth Avenue to Lowry, shops and restaurants are easy to come by
King Soopers, El Camello Western Wear and City Donuts are about a 5-minute drive away on Sixth Avenue in the Del Mar Parkway and Hoffman Heights neighborhoods. “It’s a hop, skip and a jump from this neighborhood to Lowry, where they have hotspots for evening hanging out, bars [and] restaurants,” Dassinger says. The Lowry Beer Garden is a gathering place with an outdoor garden and rows of communal tables. It is dog-friendly and hosts events regularly.

A segment of the bike-friendly High Line Canal Trail runs through the neighborhood and ties it to nearby communities, such as Highline Villages and Expo Park. “Almost everyone who lives here has a dog, so one of the biggest draws is access to walking and biking paths,” says Jason Morris, eXp Realty Realtor and Aurora local. “The planners have done a really good job with bike and walking paths.”
