Aurora Knolls-Hutchinson Heights is a laid-back suburban home on the south side of Aurora, Colorado. Following in its state’s footsteps, this square neighborhood is mostly filled with homes and a few parks. There are also some conveniently located amenities within the southeastern corner of the neighborhood but are separated from the majority of homes by the West Toll Gate Creek. “It has a great neighborhood price point for single-family homes,” says Michelle Wise, a Realtor for Worth Clark Realty as part of the Living in Denver Colorado team. “And can be a great place for a first-time home buyer.” The neighborhood also includes an elementary and middle school, so children can walk in the mornings and afternoons. “It’s predominantly residential side streets, so there’s not a lot of traffic,” says Wise. “Hampden Avenue will be the busy street, but there are no houses on the road.” Aurora Knolls-Hutchinson Heights receives a crime score of 4 from the CAP Index.

Split-level and ranch-style on large lots in Aurora
The Aurora Knolls-Hutchinson Heights neighborhood is divided by the West Toll Gate Creek, with a few apartments, condos and newer homes on the east side of the creek. These new traditional homes can start around $500,000 and reach $600,000 and may be part of an HOA with monthly fees around $60. On the west side, split-levels, bi-levels and ranch-style homes define the winding streets. “They were probably all built in the 70s and 80s,” says Wise. “They will have bigger lots, which for the Denver area is really nice.” With a median price of $485,000, bi-level homes can begin around $450,000, while a split level can begin around $500,000 and reach $575,000. Ranch-style homes bridge the gap between the two, beginning around $470,000 and can reach $530,000. Homes often have mature landscaping, due to the age. “There are a ton of Cottonwood trees in the neighborhood,” says Wise. “Those big trunked, leafy trees are everywhere.”

There are also two community centers, Meadowood and Central Recreation centers, with Central offering cooking classes to residents.
Walk to elementary and middle with advanced placement at high school

Neighborhood park and state park with boating and model airplanes
There are a few parks within neighborhood boundaries as well as a state park just to the west. At Pagosa Park, which is just next to Eldorado Park and covers just over 2 acres, children can explore the playground before heading to Eldorado Park and its 8-acres with another playground and picnic shelter. Hilltop Park covers 8-acres as well, with spots for basketball and tennis in addition to the playground. The Tollgate Creek Trail also divides the neighborhood, following the West Toll Gate Creek for over 10 miles. Cherry Creek State Park is about 3 miles to the west with opportunities to boat and fish on Cherry Creek Reservoir, camp throughout the year or to visit Suhaka Field to fly model airplanes.
/
Bus lines on the outside with toll road to the east
Aurora Knolls-Hutchinson Heights is less than 5 miles from the E-470, a toll road, and about 3 miles from Interstate 255. Both act as a sort of auxiliary road for Denver, with both looping around the larger city to the northwest. There are also two bus lines on South Buckley Road, Route 169 which comes through once an hour, and on East Hampden Avenue through Route 133, which comes through about every 30 minutes.
