Copperleaf
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Copperleaf fills the ground south of E Quincy Avenue just west of E-470, with Copperleaf Boulevard looping through 13 pods named for trees, Cottonwood, Ponderosa, Linden and Red Maple Ridge among them. KB Home and Richmond American have built here since about 2005 on lots of 0.08 to 0.20 acres, with townhomes and two apartment blocks along the Quincy frontage. The Arboretum clubhouse and its outdoor pool anchor the eastern end, joined by basketball courts, a Bark Park, and themed pocket parks such as Geology Park and Presidential Park, all tied into the open-space trail system. The Quincy Avenue ramps to E-470 are about a half mile east, Buffalo Trail Elementary is a mile beyond the tollway, and Aurora Reservoir is a 10 minute drive.
