The Fox River flows through the heart of the city, where the restored downtown features the historic Paramount Theatre and an expanding selection of local businesses. Outdoor recreation opportunities abound along the Fox River Trail system and at Phillips Park, home to a free zoo and golf course. Current rental data shows one-bedroom apartments averaging $1,607 per month, reflecting a 5.2% increase over the past year.

Downer Place Lofts

The location is OK, not the greatest neighborhood but it is within walking distance of downtown Aurora, the casino and the Paramount theater. The building is very unique and all of the units that I have seen have been different, and most have 12'-15' ceilings. The building, or at least my floor was very quiet as far as noise and traffic in the halls from neighbors. The rooftop deck and grill setup is a very nice feature to have and offers a great view of the downtown area, and the staff is very helpful and polite.
