Nice river for walking and biking - 2/13/2013
North Aurora is a small town, with many new houses built at the same time. Schneider Elementary school has a great staff, nice education with Illinois Institute of Math and Science Academy 15 minute away.
The Fox river is great for biking and walking along the water. In the center of the town is a river bank/rapid, where water cascades down from a high point like a waterfall - beautiful! It's a great place for fishing with trout fishing in Lake Herrick lake in Warrenville, or fishing in Fox River. There are many young children and old folks too. Grocery stores are cheap at ethnic places in nearby Aurora. Shopping is great at nearby outlet mall. What I like best about North Aurora is the friendly small village spirit but lots of place for shopping. The village well-water tastes Yummy, sweet with our dolomitic lime (calcium and magnesium rock)! It won the water-tasting award a few years ago. I take this "mineral" water over "blah" city water anytime. I have

North Aurora is a friendly place - 2/13/2013
Since North Aurora is a small city with many new houses built at the same time, it's a close-knit community. Schneider school is excellent with friendly staff. There's a bike path that runs along the Fox River, great for running. At the center of the city is a water-bank where water cascades down from height of the river, great view. There are cheap ethnic grocery stores nearby Aurora. Winter is short, colder but less snow than MI. Shopping is great with the big outlet mall.

Walking and Biking - 6/22/2012
Though it is a small community (about 16,000), North Aurora is spread over a relatively large area. Getting around within neighborhoods on foot or bicycle is safe, though the town overall is not well suited to foot and bike transportation, almost necessitating access to a car.
That being said, North Aurora does have easy access to the Fox River Bike Path, allowing direct walking and cycling access to Aurora and towns to the north along the river. It's just too bad North Aurora's own waterfront development is lacking compared to its

Quiet village - 8/14/2011
North Aurora is at the far western edge of the Chicago suburbs. It is in the middle of a north/south string of communities on the Fox river, known as the Fox (river) Valley.I grew up in the Fox Valley and have lived here most of my life. We are pretty much the edge of civilization; less than a mile west of here becomes farmland. The whole Fox Valley has seen tremendous growth in the last 40 years. I anticipate that with growth leveling off,in the next 20 years this string of suburban towns will face the same sort of sustainability issues as much of the country.Meanwhile it's quiet, pretty and lot's of cultural opportunities in the
