Is buying a mobile home in Aurora, CO a good idea?

If you are considering a move to Colorado, there is a great deal to recommend the area around Denver. However, rather than moving to a suburb like Centennial or Greenwood Village, you might consider buying a mobile home in Aurora. Aurora is large enough to be a major player in the Denver Metro Area, but small enough that land can still be found quickly and easily.

In this article, we’ll look at the places you can buy a mobile home in Aurora, CO, as well as some of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the city. We’ll look at Aurora’s demographics, geography and climate, as well as what people in that part of Colorado do for fun.

History of Aurora

History of Aurora

colorado history

This part of Colorado was originally inhabited by several tribes, including the Arapaho, Sioux, Ute and Cheyenne. Officially, the land was purchased from the tribes, and settlement was mostly non-violent. Of course, this was in 1880, and it would be the better part of a century before anyone would buy a mobile home in Aurora. The city was originally the town of Fletcher, and it grew quickly when the Lowry Air Force base was built there in the early 20th century. That base was closed in 1994, and the land became a large master-planned community inside Aurora. This is a prime spot for buying a mobile home in Aurora, CO today.
