Aurora is Colorado's third largest City. The Aurora real estate market's growing population (now over half the size of Denver) has led to efforts for equal recognition with its larger neighbor. Aurora real estate offers a prime example of redevelopment, with the creation of new housing developments, recreational facilities and new businesses in and around the former airfields. Like a large city, Aurora boasts a symphony orchestra, museums, arts festivals and other cultural attractions.
