A quiet residential neighborhood with top schools

With a small network of paved trails woven between residential streets that link to Aurora’s 119-mile trail network, Spring Creek Meadows helps neighbors stay connected in the great outdoors. “It’s a popular neighborhood that was built in the 1990s as they were developing the east side of Aurora,” says Mauri Tamborra, a broker associate with RE/MAX Leaders who has sold homes in the area. According to Tamborra, the school district, Cherry Creek School District, is a huge draw — Niche considers it the No. 3 best school district in the state — as are the amenities nearby. “You can get to the trail system easily from this neighborhood, several golf courses, and also Cherry Creek State Park,” Tamborra says.

A neighborhood park accessible to a network of trails

Snaking beside Himalaya Street, Spring Creek babbles beside its namesake park, which stretches almost the entire length of the neighborhood. Pathways that connect to the area’s sidewalks make it easy to incorporate the park loop into morning dog walks, and a large picnic shelter provides much-needed shade on hot summer days. A second, slightly smaller picnic shelter sits beside a playscape with multiple slides and a rope climbing web, so parents can easily keep an eye on the kids as they set up lunch or a quick snack. Down the hill is a set of baseball and soccer fields that welcomes both local leagues and pick-up games. For a longer walk or bike ride, residents can continue north on the paved trail alongside the creek all the way to Central Recreation Center, one of the city’s newest rec centers. Residents looking for opportunities for watersports can find them on the Cherry Creek Reservoir, just a few miles away, in Cherry Creek State Park.

Shopping and dining close to home

Spring Creek Meadows is in a primarily residential area, but it’s located just down the street from a shopping center that covers all the necessities. When it’s time to stock up on groceries, residents can head east down Quincy Avenue to reach Walmart Neighborhood Market, services like an animal hospital and UPS store, and a handful of fast-food restaurants. When the weather turns chilly, there’s no better spot to warm up than K+ Hotpot, which offers a dining experience unlike any other. Homeowners can join their neighbors for a communal meal of fresh veggies and meats dipped in a steaming broth, then cool off with a refreshing lychee lemonade. Venture a bit farther and make the 5-mile drive to the Southlands, a retail and entertainment destination that offers both local and chain shops and restaurants, plus an AMC Theatres movie theater.
