Northeast Aurora
 Northwest Aurora
 Central West Aurora
This developing section of Aurora is headed toward being a buzzing area of activity. With its proximity to DIA and the addition of the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center, this part of town will soon be a must-see spot for newcomers, visitors and residents. Thankfully, Northeast Aurora provides a perfect gateway to the rest of Colorado thanks to its accessibility to I-70 and connection to the RTD rail line. Within a few years, we may see a much different area than what it is today. Northwest Aurora lets you stay connected to both downtown Denver and Denver International Airport (DIA), yet still finds a way to retain the unique and diverse feel that its residents love. You can find a range of unique areas in this section of Aurora from rural pockets to the urban feeling that accompanies places like the Stanley Marketplace, Anschutz Medical Campus and the Aurora Cultural Arts District.  Full of history, diversity and culture, Northwest Aurora is a great place to live, love, work and play.  At the heart of Aurora, Central West offers you nothing less than everything. When you're here, almost everything in town is mere minutes away, by car, lightrail, biking or walking. Filled with character, history and diversity, this part of the city can help you understand what it is that makes Aurora so special. From parks to golf courses and miles of trails, it's an advantage to have lots of open space to play all within the city. Central West is filled with opportunity as it finds itself right next to Buckley Air Force Base, as well as many of Aurora's other major employers.
