Young Families Flocking to these Established Aurora Neighborhoods

As Denver metro home prices hold steady, suburban areas outside of the city are becoming more popular, especially if those areas offer more urban amenities and provide public transportation or easy highway access. These suburban areas with mature landscaping and trees draw younger professionals ready to put down roots and raise their families.

Two such neighborhoods include Aurora’s Hutchinson Heights and Aurora Knolls. With lots of parks and opportunities for enjoying time outdoors, it’s no wonder these areas appeal to young professionals and young families.

Homes in Hutchinson Heights and Aurora Knolls sit along a greenbelt and offer a new central recreation center, biking, or walking trails. The open space appeals to people with dogs and young children.

The neighborhood also offers about 40 restaurants, bars, or coffee shops within walking distance. With four bus lines, the neighborhood also provides an option for public transportation, so residents don’t always have to use their cars to commute.

With home prices ranging from $400,000 to $700,000 and condos ranging from $250,000 to $400,000, the neighborhood offers prices that are more affordable than some other metro areas. Many homes were built in the 1970s and ’80s, and some need a little remodeling and updating. Like the rest of the metro, houses typically sell quickly and stay on the market for less than a week.

With easy access to the E-470 corridor, the neighborhood’s homes appeal to young professionals.

In these areas you’ll find many original homeowners who are moving on or downsizing are now selling many of the homes on the market. These are being scooped up by young families and millennials who want to have some space and the yards with mature trees.

If you’re ready to put down roots in the metro area, Aurora could be an ideal location. Give Metrowest a shout today – we’d be happy to show you around!
