Our Take
Aurora's 60505 ZIP code offers a suburban lifestyle with easy access to Chicago, but you'll need a car for daily errands. Median home prices have likely increased since the 2022 census, but remain relatively affordable. The area is relatively quiet and has moderate green space, but schools and public transit leave something to be desired.
