Housing market in Aurora — is it worth buying?
Median home value here is around $444,500. Prices are steep but there are pockets of affordability. For those renting, typical rent is $1759.
Is now a good time to buy in Aurora? Or better to keep renting?
Looking for opinions from both homeowners and renters.

I've lived in Maple Heights for 10 years and it's decent, has its pros and cons.

As someone who moved here from Seattle, I can confirm most of this. The job opportunities surprised me the most.

I work in finance and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 6 months.

Rent tip: look for places in fall. Prices drop and there's more availability.

Weather is the biggest factor for us. Four seasons are nice, not too extreme either way.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

Coming from New York, the cost of living difference is noticeable. Groceries and gas are cheaper.
