I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Household incomes average around $46,855 in Aurora. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. What do you all think? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a project manager who relocated here from New York about 6 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and school.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Limited high-paying job options
Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are pricey, gas is tough.
Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. No regrets on my end..
