Aurora Highlands
From 1970s split-level and ranch-style homes to new-traditional homes with stone features
Homes in Aurora typically sit on curving streets that fork off from main thoroughfares like Telluride Street. Homebuyers most frequently find 1970s split-level and ranch-style homes that have been well maintained and even renovated, with sizeable fenced-in yards. “While some homes in Aurora Highlands are older, they sit on larger lots, and most have 2-car garages,” Donna Jarock, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty who has been selling homes in Aurora for the last 27 years, says. “Homebuyers find the larger lots to be an appealing aspect of the neighborhood.” The split-level and ranch-style homes in Aurora Highlands sell for between $320,000 and $600,000. New-tradition two-story homes with stone features are also common and sell for between $500,000 and $650,000. A mixture of brick and wood materials in cream and tan creates visual continuity across the housing stock in Aurora Highlands, but locals can find pops of reds and blues accenting the doors and the attached garages that are common here.Children head to schools in the Aurora Join School District No. 28

Options to get active are not at a premium in Aurora Highlands. The Powerline Trail runs through the southern stretch of Aurora Highlands, providing residents with the perfect place for a run or a bike ride.

Another option for bike-riding enthusiasts is Panorama Park, which has a loop trail.From chicken wings at Piazza’s to brews and barbecue at Six Capital
After spending the day at one of the many neighborhood parks and trails, residents enjoy heading over to locally owned Piazza’s Sports Bar, which offers up crispy chicken wings and creative cocktails in a dimly lit setting. The restaurant also includes a billiards room where pool tournaments are hosted. Other residents enjoy the environment over at Six Capital Brewing & BBQ. Six Capital serves up Colorado craft beer and chef-driven barbecue.

AMF Aurora Lanes is the neighborhood’s spot for a couple games of bowling. Outdoor enthusiasts may enjoy the Plains Conservation Center, which is close by. This outdoor education center is like a living museum, with replicas of a Cheyenne tribe camp and a pioneer homestead, plus 1,000 acres of the prairie ecosystem.Proximity to Buckley Space Force Base
“Something that draws people to Aurora Highlands is its proximity to Buckley Space Force Base,” Jarock says. “If you’re in the military, this is a big benefit.” The base is just a 2-mile drive from the neighborhood.
