Aurora spans the eastern edge of the Denver metro area across Adams, Arapahoe, and Douglas counties, stretching from the Anschutz Medical Campus and Fitzsimons redevelopment near Denver to the high plains communities of Watkins and Bennett. The city's economy centers on healthcare through the University of Colorado Hospital and Children's Hospital Colorado, defense operations at Buckley Space Force Base, and a diverse mix of retail and service businesses along the Colfax, Havana, and Iliff corridors. Major neighborhoods include Stapleton (Central Park), Southlands, Saddle Rock, and the historic Aurora Highlands, with significant populations in Centrepoint, Del Mar, and the areas surrounding Aurora Reservoir.
