Aurora Overview

Aurora is a young, vibrant community that combines ready access to Denver and the nearby Rocky Mountains with the wide-open space necessary for active outdoor living. With its relatively mild climate, many parks, miles of multi-use trails, reservoirs, and streams, Aurora apartments offer great spots for the active adventurer to live and work.

What is the history of Aurora?

Aurora started as the town of Fletcher, named for Denver businessman Donald Fletcher, who hoped to make money selling real estate here. After the silver crash of 1893, Fletcher skipped town leaving the inhabitants holding a large water debt. They renamed the town Aurora in 1907. Since then, the town�s population has grown dramatically, and it now rivals its nearby neighbor Denver.

How is the weather in Aurora?

Aurora has a wonderfully variable climate, comfortable all year round. Hot, dry summer days are balanced by cool, refreshing nights. If you have a cold and snowy day during the winter, you won�t have to wait long for the sun to appear and the temperature to bump back up.

How do I get around town?

You�ll probably want a car to reach many places in the greater Rocky Mountain region, but the newly completed R train line connects Aurora to the rest of metropolitan Denver�s light rail system, giving you ready access to downtown Denver and the nearby Denver International Airport. You can also easily bike throughout Aurora itself on its many miles of trails.

What is the Aurora commute like?

Interstate 225 is the major north/south corridor through the populous western part of Aurora and highway E-470 services the less densely populated eastern side of the city. Both highways give you ready access to Interstate 25 to the west and Interstate 70 to the north, which serve as the main connectors throughout the Denver metropolitan area.

What are the local media outlets?

In addition to the many television stations, and radio stations readily available from Denver, Aurora enjoys television broadcasts from its own KDEO-LP (Channel 38) and KDEV-LP (Channel 62), radio broadcasts from KMXA (1090 AM) and KEZW (1430 AM), and weekly news from the over 100-year-old Aurora Sentinel.

Why live in Aurora, CO?

Because of its proximity to Denver, you get the best of all possible worlds from apartments in Aurora. Looking for the urban buzz of Denver�s vibrant downtown? It�s only a short drive away. Drive a little further and you�ll reach the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains. But if you stay home, biking, hiking, swimming, and golfing are right outside your apartment door. And when you�re through exploring the great Aurora outdoors under Colorado�s sunny skies, you�ll be able to dine in a magnificent array of restaurants, including many ethnic restaurants providing tasty cuisines from all over the world.

What Aurora landmarks should I see?

History abounds in Aurora. The Aurora History Museum is your gateway to historic Aurora sites and buildings and important artifacts from Aurora�s history. The Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum, located on the grounds of the former Lowry Air Force Base, displays 50 aircraft dating from 1939 to 1990.

What is there to do around Aurora?

The great outdoors is right outside your door in Aurora, with over 100 parks, 50 miles of multi-use trails, and six public golf courses. Two grand reservoirs�the Cherry Creek Reservoir and the Aurora Reservoir�offer opportunities for swimming, sailing, and windsurfing.

Any annual festivals or Aurora events to know?

"Summer fun is everywhere in Aurora. The City offers weekly free concerts on the Aurora Municipal Center Great Lawn in July. Fun ""Summer in the City"" events occur throughout the spring and summer at city parks, and the annual Global Fest provides delectable foods, cultural experiences, and artistic creations, along with the World Beer Market."

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Truly a gateway to the Rocky Mountain region, Aurora can be your year-round springboard to skiing in the Rocky Mountains, hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, visiting the Great Sand Dunes National Monument, relaxing in the hot springs of Glenwood Springs, or camping throughout the extensive national forests.

Where is the best place to move in Aurora?

Apartments in Aurora are great places to live! With parks scattered widely throughout the city, an apartment in any Aurora neighborhood would be a good choice, but the Tallyn's Reach, Heritage Eagle Bend, and Saddle Rock Golf Club neighborhoods near the Aurora Reservoir are particularly livable. Meadow Hills, Park Villas, and Shenandoah, bordering Cherry Creek State Park, are also well-situated to take advantage of Aurora�s ready access to the great outdoors. Pheasant Run and Pride�s Crossing offer closer access to many local amenities, including grocery stores, restaurants, and the nearby Valley Plaza Shopping Center.
