What a lot of wonderful amenities Aurora has to offer! I have recently toured several wonderful neighborhoods in Aurora. The many town homes and condominium complexes in Aurora offer great locations close to all the shopping on route 59 and the Costco hub at Route 59 and 75th Street. They also are close to the high quality and easily accessible services of Rush-Copley Medical Center. And could there be a better location for a commuter?
