Planned development with a Spanish flair in Aurora
Mission Viejo is a cherished slice of southwestern flair in a Coloradoan suburb. Look close at the structure of the Aurora neighborhood from above, and you can see the shape of a rose formed by the streets and trails within its square boundaries. Taking influence from the earlier planned community of the same name in California, Mission Viejo was developed in the 1970s with a Spanish-inspired aesthetic, commercial areas at each corner of the square for convenience and reliable access to Denver’s central areas. Today, Aurora’s population has grown to nearly five times its size when Mission Viejo was first built, but the neighborhood remains distinct within the quilt of communities within the city.
Welcome to Mission Viejo, Aurora Colorado.
South Mission Parkway is a long, circular boulevard that makes for a stately feeling.

Spanish-influenced homes and modern classics along planned streets
Most homes in Mission Viejo date back to the late 1970s and early 1980s, while the neighborhood was coming together within the bounds of the community plan. The neighborhood’s earliest homes show the strongest influence from Spanish and Californian design, with tile roofs, adobe-style “slump” walls and ornamental arches adding flair to new traditional split-level and ranch-style homes. Later homes would place more emphasis on energy-efficient, contemporary design more typical of Colorado suburbs, alongside select townhome developments. Buyers can expect to find a two-bedroom townhome for about $350,000, with the neighborhood’s largest homes going for about $650,000 on the market. An average single-family house in the area sells for about $500,000.
Mission Viejo is an almost entirely residential neighborhood, with generously sized homes.

I have never had a problem with the weather. Storms don't generally seem like a big concern, and I for one enjoy when it gets exceptionally cold. For me it doesn't get all that cold out during the winter, which disappoints me.
