South of I-70 and east of Cherry Creek State Park, Aurora’s newer neighborhoods spread out along E-470 with big skies and reservoir views. It borders Parker to the south, and many of Chelsey’s Parker buyers compare the two.

She has closed sales here from Heritage Eagle Bend and Inspiration to townhomes in Greenbrook and the Colony at Cherry Creek.
