Indulge in a sustainably sourced bison burger and beer from Hardware
“Hardware is very popular, and people come from all over to go to that restaurant,” says Norma Yario, broker and Realtor with Keller Williams Inspire, who lives in the neighborhood. Hardware Sustainable Gastropub and Brewery has a seasonal menu with dishes crafted from ingredients grown in their farm and greenhouse, where patrons can find elevated burgers and brisket, along with beer and 400 different whiskey options. For a more laid-back environment, locals go to Kappy’s Bar and Grill, a gaming lounge serving Greek and American fare. Residents stock up on groceries and everyday essentials at Woodman’s Food Market and Aldi, and a collection of retailers can be found at the Chicago Premium Outlets. Located just over the neighborhood’s eastern edge, the outlets house retailers like Nike, Express and Gap.

Compete in the fishing derby or enjoy live music and treats at the North Aurora Days
The neighborhood comes together to celebrate the community in early August at the North Aurora Days. Held at the North Aurora Riverfront Park, the event includes food stands and live music, as well as a softball tournament, fishing derby and other family-friendly attractions. There are more recurring events at the Messenger Public Library of North Aurora, like a book club, children’s story times, an art club and a food club.
Go fishing or walk along the Fox River
“We have the Fox River, and people fish out of there and walk along the shore,” Yario says. The North Aurora Riverfront Park offers access to the Fox River with nature trails for strolling or biking. Locals can wade into the water, launch a canoe to paddle down the river or relax in the shaded green space on the park’s benches and gazebo. There’s also Pine Creek Park, a more traditional park hosting a variety of playground structures and a basketball court.
