Hello, Crime rate is something to consider -Aurora sits at 62.5 per 100K. With a population of 1,104, Aurora is a small town. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Worth the trade-offs? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Boston and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Eastside. It's challenging for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in marketing. If you're in engineering you might struggle.
People: Generally improving. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Indian.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..
