Aurora Hills
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Aurora Hills occupies the grid between Alameda Ave and Mississippi Ave, from Peoria St east to Abilene St and I-225, with 1960s-to-1980s ranch and split-level homes on mature tree-lined streets plus condo pockets from the same era. Wheeling Park and Virginia Court Park sit inside the neighborhood, Bicentennial Park at 13600 East Alameda Ave holds a trial off-leash dog area on the north edge, and the city's original municipal course, Aurora Hills Golf Course at 50 South Peoria St, is under a mile north with a driving range and the Tin Cup restaurant. Aurora Hills Middle School stands on South Uvalda St within the neighborhood; Aurora Public Schools boundaries should be verified by address. The R Line's Florida and Aurora Metro Center stations are each about a mile away, I-225 is 3 minutes east, and the Anschutz Medical Campus is roughly 3 miles north on Peoria St.
