A bit of background
Aurora Highlands is a well-established and family-oriented neighbourhood in the Town of Aurora, Ontario. It sits on a higher elevation — as its name suggests — and is backed by the natural slopes of the Oak Ridges Moraine in parts.
The area features a mix of older homes (1960s-70s) and newer infills or luxury residences, giving it both established charm and modern appeal.
Why people love living here
- Diverse housing and mature lots: The neighbourhood offers mostly detached homes (about 88% of sales) with a range of sizes and ages — from original mid-century bungalows and side-splits to larger upscale homes.
- Green, elevated terrain: Because the area is on a plateau backing conservation land, residents enjoy a sense of being close to nature; parks, mature trees and a quieter residential feel.
- Strong family-friendly vibe: With good schools, parks and recreation opportunities, the neighbourhood is popular with families of all ages.
- Good real-estate value: Home listings in Aurora Highlands range from under a million to well into multi-million depending on lot size, location and upgrades — reflecting the area’s broad appeal.
A snapshot of the lifestyle
Living in Aurora Highlands means stepping into a calm, leafy neighbourhood where sidewalks meet large yards, where schools and parks are around the corner, and where you’re close enough to Aurora’s amenities without being in the thick of downtown bustle. Close proximity to golf courses as well as Case Woodlot make it easy to prioritize active living. Whether it’s an early-morning walk under mature trees, a weekend barbecue on a spacious backyard, or catching up with neighbours at the local park, the feel is relaxed but connected.
