Homes in Southeast Aurora are near recreation and top-rated schools
Southeast Aurora is a web of sidewalks and subdivisions in the quiet eastern region of the Denver metropolitan area. “There are many subdivisions that offer amenities like golf courses and community pools, and the Aurora Reservoir is out there, so there are many family activities that are offered in the Southeast Aurora area,” says Julie Maeda, an employing broker and realtor at Guardian Real Estate Group, who has been in real estate since 2009. “One of the biggest driving factors is the school district […] The Cherry Creek School District is top-rated. Everyone obviously should do their own investigation, but that’s really what Southeast Aurora is known for, as far as bringing families to the area.”

Craftsman influence from subdivisions to condo complexes
New Traditional homes with Craftsman-style elements, including square columns and natural stone or brick accents, are commin in subdivisions. Prices range from approximately $490,000 to $1.8 million, depending on factors such as proximity to golf courses. Home size also impacts price, with many homes in the million-dollar range having between four and six bedrooms. Craftsman condos and townhouses are also available. Condo prices range from about $270,000 to $440,000, and townhouses are priced roughly between $340,000 and $660,000. “A lot of Southeast Aurora are newer homes because that’s an area that has expanded upon within the last 20 years […] Before that, that was all farmland, so you’ll see a lot more newer builds in that area,” Maeda says.
Many houses, condos and townhouses are overseen by a homeowners association or metropolitan district. These groups are responsible for maintaining shared spaces and are funded through assessments or monthly fees. Several communities have parks with playgrounds, and some, including the Wheatlands Metropolitan District, have a pool. The Wheatlands monthly fee is approximately $70. Blackstone, which is home to a golf course, has an assessment totaling around $165 quarterly, which translates to roughly $55 per month.
Pedestrians in Southeast Aurora can typically rely on paved sidewalks to get around town.

Pine Ridge Elementary earns an A-minus grade from Niche. Both middle schools in the area, Fox Ridge and Infinity, earn A-minus grades. All homes are in the Cherokee Trail High School attendance boundary. The high school receives an A overall and offers apprenticeship programs for which students can apply.
