In Rocky Ridge, a neighborhood just 3 miles from Buckley Space Force Base, residents are close to Aurora amenities, while being a short commute from Denver's Central Business District. The community has easy access to major employers, shopping and parks without the accompanying hubbub of downtown Denver.
Rocky Ridge has a diverse housing market, from 1980s Colonial Revivals and bilevels to condos built in the early 2000s. Most houses have small, fenced-in backyards, with mature tree cover giving the neighborhood a more established feel. While most residents own their homes, about one third are renters. “You’ll find some newer builds on this side of town and affordable prices compared to other Denver-area communities,” says Gina Moritzky, a local Realtor with eXp Realty. “You also have a lot of options, with condos, townhouses and single-family homes. If you’re new to the area or just looking for a one-bedroom, you can find options for less than $200,000.” Single-family homes start in the upper $200,000s and reach the low $600,000s, while condos and townhomes range from the high $100,000s to around $400,000. Multi-family complexes feature amenities like outdoor pools and tennis courts, with most charging a monthly maintenance fee.
Rocky Ridge is bookended by shopping centers, with Village Green Plaza to the west and the Somerset Village shopping center to the east. “It’s a peaceful part of Aurora, but you’re still close to shopping and major employers,” Moritzky says. Cuba Bakery & Cafe serves a wide array of authentic Cuban fare, from pastries and fresh coffee to beef stew and marinated ox tail. Massino’s Pizzeria has New York style pies, while Garlic Naan serves classic Indian and Nepalese cuisine. For more shopping, Town Center at Aurora is a few miles away in the City Center neighborhood and is home to over 130 businesses, such as:
Regional Transit District of Denver operates bus routes throughout the area, with nearby stops along East Mississippi Avenue and South Buckley Road. RTD also operates a light rail system, with the nearest stop along Florida Avenue. Interstates 225 and 25 can take drivers around 20 miles northwest to downtown Denver. Buckley Space Force Base is one of the largest employers in Aurora with over 15,000 workers and is less than 3 miles from the neighborhood. “The base is a huge employer here, and Rocky Ridge and the surrounding neighborhood are very popular among buyers working there,” says Moritzky. “The commute is super quick.” Denver Tech Center, another employment hub, is less than 10 miles away.
Rocky Ridge Park is within a short walk of most of the neighborhood's homes and features picnic tables, open space, botanical gardens and athletic courts. The Toll Gate Creek Trail is a paved, 3-mile walking and biking path winding alongside its namesake tributary on the west side of the community. Kingsborough Park and Alta Vista Park have additional green space. Cherry Creek State Park spans over 4,000 acres, with miles of hiking and biking trails, fishing spots, boat launches and a large off-leash dog park. You can reserve a site at the campground or go for a swim at one of the sandy beaches bordering the Cherry Creek Reservoir.
The neighborhood is served by Aurora Public Schools, which places focus on hands-on, career-based learning and partners with the Community College of Aurora for its high school concurrent enrollment offerings. Nearby, Vanguard Classical School is a free, kindergarten through eighth-grade charter school that prioritizes global-centered learning.
