The Sterling Hills neighborhood in central Aurora is largely characterized by winding streets lined with attractive homes and manicured lawns. Perched just outside Buckley Air Force Base, Sterling Hills is a popular choice for military personnel seeking off-base housing. Several public schools are located within a few blocks of the neighborhood, allowing local students to easily walk to class. A large cluster of shopping plazas at the intersection of Hampden Avenue and Tower Road to the south provides locals with a convenient one-stop location for everything from picking up groceries to seeing a movie.
