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.Traversing the Cherry Creek School District
Pride’s Crossing sits within the well-loved Cherry Creek School District. Neighborhood school Meadow Point Elementary teaches kindergarten through fifth grade and offers many student clubs including chess, art, science and technology. This school earns a B-minus from Niche, while nearby Sky Vista Middle School earns a B-plus. Students finish strong at Eaglecrest High School, which earns an A-minus.

Playing ball and fishing on the Quincy
Meadow Point Elementary sits next to 14-acre Marina Park, where student-athletes and hobbyists play on the baseball diamonds and football field. For more outdoor fun, locals take advantage of the Quincy Reservoir, which covers 160 acres and features a 3.5-mile shoreline trail popular with anglers, walkers and bikers. Pocket parks with playgrounds are also scattered across the subdivisions.
Local events for Prides Crossing families
Nearby community staple Cherry Creek State Park hosts events for residents of all ages, all year round – from preschool pottery to a winter duathlon. Prides Creek residents are also minutes from Smoky Hill Library, a branch of the Arapahoe Libraries system. Parents can pop in for organized story time with their little ones each month.Food and shopping west of Prides Crossing
Housing in Prides Crossing is framed by retail, giving the suburb an integrated feel. For weekly errands, locals stop by the Walmart and Walgreens on the corner of Buckley and Smoky Hill, or head north to Valley Plaza Shopping Center. Businesses with a story to tell are interspersed among the big-box fare. Endless Grind was founded by an Ethiopian American immigrant, and serves as a community hub offers fair-trade, organic beans from the birthplace of coffee. For experimental ales and a chic industrial vibe, locals grab a drink at Two22 Brewery. Located on the neighborhood’s east end, the brewery pledges a portion of proceeds to local charities.

Travelling throughout Aurora and beyond
Each street in Prides Crossing may be lined with sidewalks, but cars are essential for getting to shopping centers and other areas of Aurora. The neighborhood is conveniently located near Route 83 and Interstate 225, connecting residents to the rest of the Denver metro area. Out-of-state travelers reach Denver International Airport by taking the E-470 toll road for 23 miles. Centennial Hospital sits 6 miles away from the community.
Preserving Quincy Reservoir wildlife
The Quincy Reservoir maintains firm guidelines for anglers who frequent its shores. Artificial flies and lures are the only permitted bait to reduce fish mortality rates. Additionally, the reservoir requires a paid pass for March through October and closed for the winter season.

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.
