Aurora Overview
Known affectionately as the 'City of Lights', Aurora is the second most-populated city in the entire state of Illinois. Technically a suburb of the greater Chicago vicinity, this thriving locale has much to offer potential residents in the way of schools, employment, amenities and overall opportunity.
What is the history of Aurora?
Located along the Fox River, Aurora was one of the first cities in the nation to boast an all-electric street lighting system by the 1880s. Thanks to the railroad industry, Aurora became a hub of manufacturing that lasted well into the 1970s, and today the city continues revitalization of the downtown scene. Aurora is known the world over for its eclectic architecture as well, with area homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright among many others.
How is the weather in Aurora?
While summers can be hot, the breezes off the Fox River help make them enjoyable, and the spring and autumn months are generally quite pleasant. Winters can be harsh, with snow commonplace, and the chilly temps can stretch from November until March.
How do I get around town?
PACE Bus Systems operates widely in the city, making public transport a worthy option for most residents of apartments in Aurora, while the Metra Rail offers a direct line to Chicago proper for commuters. While the city does have a municipal airport, most commercial flights are regulated to nearby O'Hare and Midway.
What is the Aurora commute like?
Many Aurora apartment residents claim ownership of at least one personal automobile, and Illinois traffic congestion has a notorious reputation for good cause. Interstate 88 acts as the primary roadway in the city, although other options include U.S. Highway 30 and the scenic Route 25. Thanks to construction and daily fender benders, those commuting to Chicago can expect daily delays to be typical.
What are the local media outlets?
The legendary 'Beacon News' has been in print since 1846, and the nearby 'Chicago Tribune' remains a popular news outlet as well. Regional broadcasting stations include WXFT and WPVN, in addition to Chicago affiliates for well known brands such as FOX and NBC. WBIG dominates the AM radio airwaves with an eclectic mix of talk, while FM is dominated by popular genres such as classic rock, hip-hop, jazz and country.

What Aurora landmarks should I see?

What is there to do around Aurora?
Enjoy some shopping and the famous carousel at the Fox Valley Mall, or get up-close-and-personal with wildlife at the Phillips Park Zoo. The Riverfront Playhouse is a fantastic place to catch some live drama, and a number of museums including the SciTech Science Museum and the Pierce Art Center are located close to numerous apartments in Aurora.
Any annual festivals or Aurora events to know?
Blues on the Fox is a huge event, drawing large crowds of jazz fans every year to the banks of the river, while the Alley Art Festival is likewise a hit with the cultural crowd.
