The long-established and colorful Aurora
Aurora, one of Modesto's most storied neighborhoods, is a short walk from illustrious retail districts and expansive community green spaces like Graceada Park. In 1907, the Women's Improvement Club developed Graceada Park, the oldest park in the city. The two men who funded its construction named the site after their wives, Grace and Ada.

The colorful and varied world of Aurora homes
Stone walkways lead to the front doorstep of Tudor-inspired cottages. Close to downtown, these homes make Aurora feel like a storybook village with whimsical gardens. Ivy-covered walls and fences offer seclusion as the sun sets on these city dwellings. Flower gardens and shrubs flank the brick property paths, while oak and pine trees shade the cul-de-sacs. Aurora also features architectural styles like Colonial Revivals, Spanish Revivals, craftsman bungalows and remodeled midcentury styles. Homes typically range from $350,000 to $900,000. Private five-bedroom homes with in-ground pools can cost as much as $1.2 million. A three-bedroom cottage can be sold for between $450,000 and $750,000, while a house with four or more bedrooms can cost between $550,000 and $900,000. "The area developed from downtown as the city was growing north. Aurora is an old subdivision name from when those neighborhoods were originally built. As the city expanded, you had more neighborhoods with historic homes," says Catrina Girard, a Modesto native who has lived north of downtown her whole life and a Real Estate Agent at The Girard Group. "Modesto remains a centralized place in northern California with a lot to offer. This is just a growing agricultural community with family-based values and a long history."

Three city parks connect at the south end of Aurora.
