But, don’t let my list limit you – there are tons of options to choose from!
Much like many cities, it is important to understand what section of the city you want to live in. Some may be more of the “art district” feeling, some may be new construction, some may have tree-lined streets with great lots and middle-aged homes, while others may offer more affordable pricing with smaller and older houses. Because Aurora is so large most people living here understand that to better identify where they will feel most comfortable living, they should narrow their search by zip code.
