Neighborhood Reviews
Waterfront subdivisions in Aurora
Yard sizes and homeowners association fees vary between the subdivisions in Prides Crossing, but all residents can count on well-kept sidewalks lit at night. By far the most common housing style in Prides Crossing is the tri-level home with an attached garage. Many have been fully renovated inside with sleek modern finishes, but some still sport original exteriors from the 1980s, such as vinyl siding in neutral tones. These homes, and their ranch-style counterparts, go for $400,000 to $700,000. Condo complexes with chalet-style wood siding sell for just over $200,000 to $350,000.

Pocket parks with playgrounds are also scattered across the subdivisions.Traversing the Cherry Creek School District

Niche Review
Colorado is a great place for everyone. I love it. Having the mountains so close creates a culture of outdoor-loving people as well as an overall healthier community. We've seen a lot of growth here over the past few years, people from all over the country moving here to enjoy the Colorado life. Overall the climate is also great. Some cold and/or hot spells here and there, but overall very stable seasons.

Traffic very bad at certain times of day, and there seems to always be construction going on.
