Aurora homes for sale

A small-town core between Richmond Hill and Newmarket

Aurora sits on Yonge Street between Richmond Hill and Newmarket, and its historic downtown around Wells Street and Yonge is genuinely old by GTA standards, heritage homes and a walkable core that predates most of the subdivisions around it by a century or more. The rest of the town filled in gradually rather than all at once, which means Aurora's housing stock is more mixed in age than towns that grew in a single building boom, older established neighbourhoods alongside pockets of newer construction.

A consistently leafy, established feel

Mature trees and larger, older lots are common through much of Aurora's residential core, a contrast to the newer subdivisions further north in Newmarket or East Gwillimbury, and it's part of why the town holds a reputation as one of York Region's more settled, established communities.

Who's searching here

Move-up families who want more established streetscapes and larger lots than newer-build towns offer, without going as far north as Newmarket or Bradford.

Getting around

GO Transit's Barrie line serves Aurora station, Yonge Street runs the length of the town as its main commercial and transit spine, and Highway 404 runs along the east side connecting south toward Toronto.
