As metro home prices continue to climb, suburban areas ringing Denver are becoming more popular, especially if those areas offer more urban amenities and provide public transportation or easy highway access. Suburban areas with mature landscaping and trees draw younger professionals ready to put down roots and raise their families, says Esperanza Wardroup, West+Main real estate agent. With lots of parks and opportunities for enjoying time outdoors, neighborhoods like Aurora’s Hutchinson Heights and Aurora Knolls appeal to young professionals and young families. “That dense suburban feel is a big reason why people gravitate and keep pushing east,” Wardroup says. Frieda Riggs, 8z real estate agent, agrees. “These older, established neighborhoods become a big attraction,” she says. Homes in Hutchinson Heights and Aurora Knolls sit along a greenbelt and offer a new central recreation center, biking, or walking trails.
