A factual market snapshot around 14438 E 1st Dr.
Aurora's condo market has remained a value alternative to Denver proper, attracting buyers priced out of the core city yet wanting transit and amenity access. In 2026, well-priced 2-bedroom condos that are updated and well-maintained are moving steadily; typical median condo prices in portions of Aurora sit below single-family averages for the metro. Buyer demand is strongest for units priced near market with limited required immediate capital work. Given the list price of $225,000 and the unit's features — fireplace, granite counters, in-unit laundry, two parking spaces — the property should appeal to a broad local pool of first-time buyers and investors. Verify HOA status and financials before offer to ensure no surprise assessments or restrictions that could narrow financing options.
Multi-family condominium community (typical multi-family/residential zoning or planned unit development). Exact zoning code should be confirmed with City of Aurora planning.
