A tight-knit community located close to major employers

When returning World War II veterans lived in temporary villages from a lack of housing, Hoffman Heights answered the call of duty. Over 1,600 homes were built through the 50s in a prime location for service members stationed at surrounding hospitals and bases. The tight-knit community that followed built its own schools and fire station before the city annexed it. While Aurora has grown in the following decades, residents of Hoffman Heights still cherish its quality housing stock and proximity to the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus a block north of the community and Buckley Space Force Base toward the east.

Siberian elms and ranch-style homes

Wide residential streets make up the majority of the Lyn Knoll neighborhood, where homes built throughout the 1950s run alongside each. Dense Siberian elm and occasional evergreen trees are found throughout front yards and provide spots of shade for those taking afternoon strolls along the community’s narrow sidewalks. Sitting back from the streets are relatively uniform ranch-style homes, typically with red-brick exteriors. Connecting each to the street are driveways large enough for one vehicle, though many tend to park along the wide streets. Potential homebuyers can expect a price range from $300,000 for a three-bedroom home to $500,000 for a larger, recently remodeled four-bedroom house.

Nearby shopping and fine dining at Borealis

Those looking to get some shopping done can head to the nearby King Soopers for groceries, located in the Hoffman Heights Shopping Center. Retail opportunities are found in the Town Center at Aurora, a 1.6-mile drive via Potomac Street. The large shopping mall boasts popular retailers like JCPenney, Macy’s and many more. After a day of errands, dinner can be enjoyed at Borealis, a fine-dining restaurant, while a more casual meal can be found at Helga’s Haus and Bier Garden, which was originally located in Hoffman Heights and is now 2 miles south along Abilene Street. “It is a German deli that serves delicious sandwiches and chocolate,” says Shay Galloway, an agent with Your Castle Realty, who has experience selling homes in the area and families who have lived in the community.

Concerts on The Lawn

For over 30 years, residents have gathered at Aurora Municipal Center for Aurora Rhythms – Concerts on The Lawn. The summer concert series takes place on the center’s lawn full of picnic tables, lawn chairs and free performances from local musicians. Those celebrating the 4th of July can catch a firework show at Del Mar Park or Bicentennial Park, both of which sit within a mile of the community.

After-school programming at Vaughn Elementary

Young students can start at Vaughn Elementary School, which has received a C-minus from Niche and gives busy parents peace of mind by participating in Aurora's COMPASS after-school program, supplementing student education with tutoring and enrichment activities. Older students will head to East Middle School, which has also scored a C-minus on Niche before attending Aurora Central High School. The home of the Trojans offers a Gifted and Talented program and has earned a C grade from Niche.

Barbeques at Hoffman Park

Located in the southwest corner of the neighborhood, just a stroll away for many residents, is Hoffman Park. Playgrounds and recreational fields allow children plenty of space to play while its pavilions allow for events where “residents are known to host barbeques,” explains Galloway. Sitting within eyeshot is Del Mar Park, a popular spot in the summer, thanks to its aquatic center, which has waterslides and a kiddie pool for locals to explore.
