Aurora Overview

Known affectionately as the 'City of Lights', Aurora is the second most-populated city in the entire state of Illinois. Technically a suburb of the greater Chicago vicinity, this thriving locale has much to offer potential residents in the way of schools, employment, amenities and overall opportunity.

What is the history of Aurora?

Located along the Fox River, Aurora was one of the first cities in the nation to boast an all-electric street lighting system by the 1880s. Thanks to the railroad industry, Aurora became a hub of manufacturing that lasted well into the 1970s, and today the city continues revitalization of the downtown scene. Aurora is known the world over for its eclectic architecture as well, with area homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright among many others.

How is the weather in Aurora?

While summers can be hot, the breezes off the Fox River help make them enjoyable, and the spring and autumn months are generally quite pleasant. Winters can be harsh, with snow commonplace, and the chilly temps can stretch from November until March.

How do I get around town?

PACE Bus Systems operates widely in the city, making public transport a worthy option for most residents of apartments in Aurora, while the Metra Rail offers a direct line to Chicago proper for commuters. While the city does have a municipal airport, most commercial flights are regulated to nearby O'Hare and Midway.

What is the Aurora commute like?

Many Aurora apartment residents claim ownership of at least one personal automobile, and Illinois traffic congestion has a notorious reputation for good cause. Interstate 88 acts as the primary roadway in the city, although other options include U.S. Highway 30 and the scenic Route 25. Thanks to construction and daily fender benders, those commuting to Chicago can expect daily delays to be typical.

What are the local media outlets?

The legendary 'Beacon News' has been in print since 1846, and the nearby 'Chicago Tribune' remains a popular news outlet as well. Regional broadcasting stations include WXFT and WPVN, in addition to Chicago affiliates for well known brands such as FOX and NBC. WBIG dominates the AM radio airwaves with an eclectic mix of talk, while FM is dominated by popular genres such as classic rock, hip-hop, jazz and country.

Why live in Aurora, IL?

A close second to the might Chicago in terms of opportunity and scope, Aurora apartment rentals truly represent some of the best living that Illinois has to offer. Close to world-class health care, education systems, public parks and nightlife, this is one larger-than-life hotspot that shows little signs of slowing in prosperity any time soon.

What Aurora landmarks should I see?

The Paramount Theatre first opened its doors in 1931, and continues to produce stage shows on a regular basis. The famed 'Sunken Garden' of Phillips Park is a majestic testament to floral finery, and the Goddess of Victory statue has been attracting crowds to Memorial Bridge since the 1930s.

What is there to do around Aurora?

Enjoy some shopping and the famous carousel at the Fox Valley Mall, or get up-close-and-personal with wildlife at the Phillips Park Zoo. The Riverfront Playhouse is a fantastic place to catch some live drama, and a number of museums including the SciTech Science Museum and the Pierce Art Center are located close to numerous apartments in Aurora.

Any annual festivals or Aurora events to know?

Blues on the Fox is a huge event, drawing large crowds of jazz fans every year to the banks of the river, while the Alley Art Festival is likewise a hit with the cultural crowd. The Harry Potter Fest gathers up a cauldron of wizards and literacy fans, while monthly farmer's markets are commonplace across Aurora as well.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Chicago remains a wonderful and close weekend escape, complete with world-famous restaurants and the city's legendary live music venues such as Reggie's and Cobra Lounge. For those eager to explore a more rural environment, Indiana offers plenty of scenic camping the to south, while Detroit's enticing comfort food and architecture make for an exciting weekend getaway as well.

Where is the best place to move in Aurora?

With a population of well over 100K, Aurora rentals are available to fit just about every walk of life. Whether you are on the hunt for a spacious family apartment, complete with pet-friendly policies and plenty of amenities such as reserved parking, or are simply eager to connect with a basic, comfortable one-bedroom rental close to the I-88 onramp, chances are great that the ultimate Aurora apartment is ready and waiting for you.
