Morris Heights - Aurora, CO Area Guide

Niche Reviews Niche logo

A suburban neighborhood full of outdoor activities, Morris Heights sits about three miles north of downtown Aurora. Residents enjoy hiking the trails at Sand Creek Park, taking a dip in Parklane Pool on hot summer days, and playing golf at Fitzsimons, a course where President Eisenhower used to play. The University of Colorado's Anschutz Medical Campus lies right next to Morris Heights, so students and staff often finish their day with a drink at the popular Cedar Creek Pub. The area has primarily single-story houses with yards out front, along with cozy apartment buildings. Casual eateries, such as the family-owned Pho 77, make up this neighborhood's dining scene. The Morris Heights' nightlife is just as casual, as locals gather at Night Shift Saloon and other friendly dive bars.
