Tucked into the rolling landscape near the Aurora Reservoir lies Southshore, one of Aurora's most impressive master-planned communities. As a local Realtor who helps buyers and sellers rightsize into their next chapter, I always say that Southshore delivers if you want a lifestyle that blends nature, community, and elegance.

Southshore is known for its wide range of home styles—from luxury ranch-style retreats to two-story family homes—built by premier builders like Richmond American, Toll Brothers, Century Communities, and more.

  • Open-concept floor plans with plenty of natural light
  • Gourmet kitchens and finished basements
  • Covered patios, home offices, and multi-gen spaces
  • Stunning views of the water or open space

Prices typically range from $ 700K to $ 1 M+, depending on size, lot, builder, and upgrades.

  • Kayaking, paddleboarding & fishing
  • Sandy beaches and picnic areas
  • 8 miles of scenic trails

You're not just buying a home; you're choosing a lifestyle rooted in water, wellness, and connection to nature.
