Active residential community in Norwest Aurora
With a large industrial sector at the top of the neighborhood, sprawling suburban streets in the center and a luscious greenway along its southern border, the Morris Heights community can balance work and play. Residents enjoy a peaceful suburban lifestyle with plenty of employment opportunities and convenient proximity to Aurora 's city amenities. “There are plenty of families in the area, but Morris Heights also lends itself as a comfortable space for renters who are there looking for short-term housing,” says Jason Sirois, a broker associate with Compass. “Both people are getting what they need from the neighborhood.”
Morris Heights is a great neighborhood, with plenty to do.

Single-story residential homes
Most houses in Morris Heights are traditional brick ranch-style homes that were built in the 1950s and 1960s and are lined along planned neighborhood streets. These properties typically have small front lawns that are shaded with mature trees, and driveways that lead to a garage. Backyards are spacious, giving homeowners the opportunity to personalize their space with fences, patios and playsets. Most of the ranchers sit at 1,500 to 2,500 square feet and range in price from $350,000 to $580,000. “Compared to other parts of Denver, your cost to purchase or rent a home is a lot cheaper. It’s the better affordability option,” Sirois says. Those who are looking for something smaller can find newer apartments like Peoria Crossing that cost $490,000 to $560,000. While there aren’t many, apartment complexes offer residents more convenient living with less maintenance.

An abundance of employment opportunities
Morris Heights is a mecca for employment options, with several commercial business parks and manufacturing facilities in the north and west sections of the neighborhood. Despite the large warehouses and wastewater treatment plant, the air quality is on par with the rest of Colorado and remains healthy. Residents can find jobs with many industries in the area, or head 2 miles south for a career in health care at the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital. “The Anschutz Medical Campus is the crown jewel and primary draw of the area. Whenever people are looking at Morris Heights, it’s because of its proximity to a fantastic medical center,” Sirois explains. As the only academic hospital in the region, Anschutz teaches new doctors and employs practicing ones.
The Anschutz Medical Campus lies just to the south of Morris Heights.

Greenways, trails and neighborhood parks
When residents need a breath of fresh air, there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation in the area. The neighborhood straddles the Sand Creek Greenway, which is an 86-acre park and open space that surrounds Sand Creek. Visitors can go hiking or biking along several trails that wind through the land and around small ponds, including the Sand Creek Greenway Trail and the regional Colorado Front Range Trail. Bluff Lake Nature Center is just west of the neighborhood and offers people a place to enjoy the wildlife habitats and learn about local flora and fauna through programs and events. Additionally, Park Lane Park is where people can go to practice their athletic skills on the soccer field or basketball court. Come back in the summertime and cool off at the outdoor pool, with its corkscrew slides and splash zone.
Sand Creek Park is a great place to take in some nature on well maintained trails.

Residents can hop on the R Line light rail to get to Aurora’s city center, or use the A Line train to travel to Union Station in Denver. The A Line train can also take people to the Denver International Airport, which provides commercial flights all over the country. There are four local bus lines that stop at Peoria Station and have fixed routes along the neighborhood’s main roads. Those who prefer to drive have easy access to both Interstates 225 and 70. “This is the part of town where you really need to have a car to get around,” Sirois says. “It’s easy to stroll over to the greenway from your home, but it’s not particularly walkable to shops and restaurants.”
The RTD light Rail runs right through the Morris Heights neighborhood.
